328 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on Byrsops, 



rostrum, this longer than the head, flattish in front, with about 

 eight foveas ; prothorax subcylindrical, broadly grooved in the 

 middle, with a large fovea on each side anteriorly, rest of the pro- 

 thorax and sides sparsely and finely punctured ; elytra ovate, each 

 with three rows of tubercles, these rather large, mostly conical, 

 more or less approximate, and confined to the edge of the declivity, 

 the inner row of six, the first tubercle connected with an elevated 

 ridge extended from the base, the second row of six large tubercles, 

 the first oblong and out of the line of the remainder, third row of 

 eight tubercles, interspaces moderately punctured ; abdomen with 

 a few coarse punctures ; legs with many short setae ; tarsi rather 

 stout. 



This species may be placed near B. buccellaria, but it 

 has no central spot on the elytra, and it has much 

 broader tarsi. 



Byrsops terrena. 



B. ovata, squamositate sordide grisea tecta ; rostro brevi, 

 crassiusculo, pauci-foveato ; prothorace sat valde transverso, disco 

 granulis parvis nitide nigris adspersis ; elytris sat breviter ovatis,

Ovate, uniformly covered with an opaque earthy greyish squa- 

 mosity ; head broad, superciliary ridges scarcely raised ; rostrum 

 thickish, shorter than the head, convex, and with few fovese in 

 front ; prothorax much broader than long, with remote lines, each 

 consisting of a few small glossy black granules; elytra rather 

 shortly ovate, each with three slightly raised lines dotted with 

 small mammilliform non-approximate tubercles, nearly obsolete on 

 the declivity, the interstices finely punctured ; body beneath with 

 a roughish squamosity, that on the legs of a silvery hue ; tibiae and 

 tarsi dotted with many black setae. 



Allied to B. rana, but larger, broader, the elytra more 

 tuberculate, only slightly punctured, and the prothorax 

 without the white spot at the side. 



Byrsops glaucescens.

 setigeris utrinque dispositis ; elytris breviter ovatis, dorso etuber-
