Typiis in coll. Benick. 



I am pleased to name this species after my friend, Mr. 

 Paul Meyer in Mailand, who is an enthusiastic student of 

 Coleoptera. 



Stents kurseonginus Bernh.

 Bernhaiier's description. 



Upper siirface smooth shining, the fifth tergite possesses 

 a whitish skinfold, the seventh is sho-htly emarginate at 

 the postei'ior margin, in this emargination a comb of 

 very stiff hairs is to be seen as described previously in 

 St. mioherqi Bck. 



The cf characters are very distinct. The sixth sternite 

 shows a deep incision, about three times deeper than broad 

 at the entrance ; the characters of the fifth segment are not 

 so pronounced, no emari^ination is to be seen, but the hairs 

 towards the posterior margin are more dense ; the fourth 

 segment is broadly emarginate. a1on<? the middle slightly 

 impressed, finer punctured and more densely hairy; the 

 third segment shows still fainter characters ; metasternnm 

 with a broad shallow impression, whic^h is densely and finely 

 punctured ; hiud femora show behind the base an obtuse 

 process, fi'om there constricted and in their middle (club- 

 shaped) dilated ; hind tibiae in their last third curved 

 outwards into an obtuse angle and with a process.
