» 450 ’ Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some new or little-known 
head nearly flat anteriorly; antennz ferruginous, scarcely half the 
length of the prothorax; the latter with a strongly marked margin 
at the sides, the granules giving it a serrated appearance at the edge; 
scutellum triangular, deeply sunk beneath the base of the prothorax ; 
elytra with four prominent granular lines, more or less interrupted, 
on each, the lines towards the apex gradually disappearing, the 
intervals with smaller granules; epipleuree roughly granulose; body 
beneath black, the abdomen glossy; legs closely punctured, clothed 
with a thin ferruginous pubescence; teeth on the fore tibize strongly 
produced, especially the apical. Length 53 lines. 
Emax [Scaurine |. 
Caput subelongatum, collo incrassato. Oczli transversi, liberi. Palpi 
subcylindrici. Mandibule bitidee. Mentum transversum, antice et 
lateribus rotundatum. Antenne sublineares, art. secundo brevi, tertio 
‘breviore quam quartus, ceeteris brevioribus et obconicis, ultimo minore 
quam precedens. Prothorax subtransversus, apice et basi truncatus, 
lateribus rotundatis et fortiter carinatis, angulis posticis acutis. Elytra 
prothorace vix latiora, oblonga, lateribus leviter rotundatis. Pedes 
mediocres; tibre subtrigonatee, bicalcaratee ; tars? postici art. primo 
subelongato. Prosternum productum. Mesosternwm elongatum, de- 
clive. Processus interfemoralis quadratus, apice late angulatus. 
In the form of the head, the mentum entirely covering the max- 
ille, leaving a little only of the lower lip visible, the small terminal 
joint of the antennee, and the large intermediate acetabula, this genus 
approaches some of the Scaurine, and particularly in habit Psamme- 
tichus, Latr. I am not quite sure, however, that a better place may 
not be found for it eventually. 
Emeax sculpturatus. (Pl. XIX. fig. 7.)
