COPROPORUS SCAPHOIDES n. Sp. 



Bobnst, convex, attenuated behind, black, shining, the 

 anterior and posterior margins of the thorax narrowly, the 

 lateral margins broadly ferruginous ; the sntm'e of the elytra 

 and extreme lateral and apical margins ferruginous. Abdomen 

 black, the posterior margins of the segments more or less 

 ferruginous. Antennae and legs testaceous. Length (in 

 extended examples) 4.5 mm. 



A large robust convex boat-shaped species widest about the 

 middle of the elytra and distinctly narrowed behind, of the 

 colour of G. flavirornis Kr., but much larger, the antennfc 

 rather shorter, the thorax less narrowed in front with much 

 more distinct ground-sculpture, the elytra and abdomen dis- 

 tinctly more finely punctured, the former with longer lateral 

 impression and more transverse. Plead extremely finely and 

 sparingly punctured, with very distinct transversely undulating 

 strife. Antennae with 2nd and 3rd joints of equal leng-th, 

 the 4th and 5th scarcely longer than broad, the latter distinctly 

 larger than the preceding, 6th to 10th transverse, gradually 

 increasing in breadth. Thorax strongly transverse, similarly 

 sculptured to the head. Elytra transverse, a little narrowed 

 behind, a little longer than the thorax, very finely and 

 moderately closely punctured much less finely and more 

 closely than the thorax, ground sculpture obsolete except at 

 the base where a few transverse striae are visible, the sides with 

 a broad impression extending nearly to the shoulders. 

 Abdomen strongly pointed, very finely and very sparingly 

 punctured, transversely strigose. 9 : ^th dorsal segment 

 quadrifid, the processes of equal length.
