The claw-joint is very slender at the base, but scarcely 
spatulate as in Logisticus rostratus ; the usually minute 
joint at its base—really the fouwrth—is very conspicuous. 
The pubescence to the naked eyes has a whitish appear- 
ance. 
Icariotis fulvicornis. 
I. nigricans, pube brevi albida induta; antennis corpore brevi- 
oribus, articulis a tertio fulvis; elytris a basi fere ad apicem late 
suleatis. Long. 5 lin. 
Hab. Madagascar. 
Blackish, with short Whitish pubescence; antenne fulvous 
from the third joint; head and prothorax finely and closely punc- 
tured, the latter scarcely longer than broad, the base not narrowed ; 
scutellum rounded at the apex; elytra moderately narrower 
towards the somewhat obliquely truncate apex, each with a groove- 
like depression from the base, gradually growing fainter posteriorly ; 
body beneath with silvery pubescence; hind femora not passing 
beyond the elytra. 
Allied to I. unicolor, but with shorter femora, grooved 
elytra, and fulvous antenne. My specimen is appa- 
rently a male. 
Icariotis scapularis. (Pl. XIV., fig. 4). 
I. subnitide nigra, humeris luteis, pube tenuissima induta; 
elytris’ haud lineatis; antennis (g) corpore paulo longioribus, 
articulis tertio quartoque brevioribus, fere equalibus. Long. 4 lin. 
Hab. Madagascar. 
Narrower than the last, black, slightly glossy, with minute 
scattered pubescence; head and prothorax finely and closely punc- 
tured, the latter conspicuously longer than broad, the disk with a 
with whitish hairs; elytra minutely punctured, without raised 
small tubercle on each side at the base; scutellum triangular, covered 
lines, the apex truncate; body beneath and legs with a sparse 
ashy pile, 
What I take to be the female, has shorter and more 
linear antenne, the third joint nearly twice as long as 
the second, and the apex of each elytron spined at the 
sutural angle; itis also much larger, the prothorax 
broader, with a distinct tubercle on each side. It may 
possibly be the female of another species. I have 
another species with much larger eyes, &c., but with 
imperfect antenne,
