This s|)eGies has very much of the general appearance 

 and size oi Hydrophilus caraboides. It is entirely black, 

 oval, very polished, but slightly punctured, and each 

 elytron is marked with six punctate strife. The head is 

 finely punctured, the clypeus produced and deeply notched, 

 Avitli a sharp elevated line extending nearly from the ex- 

 tremity of each side to the eye. The pronotum is convex, 

 scarcely angulated in the middle of each lateral margin, 

 and almost impunctate. The hind margin in front of the 

 scutellum is emarginate, the scutellum is glabrous. The 

 elytra are convex, each marked with six punctured strins, 

 of which the two most outward ones are abbreviated. The 

 apex of the elytra is also punctured. The podex is covered 

 Avith extremely fine transverse lines. The legs are black, 

 the anterior tibiae but moderately tridentate. The maxil- 

 lary lobes are simple and strongly setose, the mentum cup- 

 shaped, deeply impressed on the outside near the base, and 

 ^Ai\\ a very deep notch in front ; the mesosternum is pro- 

 duced into a strong obtuse point, directed obliquely down- 

 wards towards the forelegs. 



Anochilia herbacea. (PI. IV. fig. 3.) 



Oblongo-ovalis, opaca velutina viridis, aureo parum 

 tincta, elytris punctato-striatis, pedibus nigris, tarsis cas- 

 taneis.

This insect is of an uniform velvety rather dark-green 

 coloiu*, tinged with fulvous on the hind part of the thorax 

 and scutellum. The head is thickly but finely punctured, 

 with the clypeus rather deeply notched in front, the an- 

 tennas are black ; the prothorax is nearly semicircular, the 

 lateral margins being scarcely angulated in the middle, 

 and the hind margin but slightly emarginate in front of 

 the scutellum. It is considerably convex, and its hind 

 part is rather thickly punctured, the scutellum is impunc- 

 tate, and each of the elytra is marked with six longitudinal 

 striae ; the first next the suture is bent rather outwardly in
