with the front, the eyes small and completely divided, the orbits 
moderately broad and rounded off behind ; antennz extending to 
the base of the prothorax, joints 9 and 10 transverse ; prothorax 
convex, nearly twice as broad as long, rather deeply emarginate in 
front, strongly bisinuate at the base, moderately rounded at the 
sides, widest a little before the base, the hind angles subrect- 
angular, the anterior angles rather sharp, the surface densely, 
somewhat coarsely punctate ; elytra about three and a half times 
the length of, and of the same width as, the prothorax, parallel in 
their basal half, finely and rather deeply punctate-striate, the 
interstices slightly convex, flat toward the suture, sparsely gran- 
ulate, and feebly transversely wrinkled , tarsi sparsely clothed 
with rather coarse hairs beneath ; anterior tibiz slender, gradually 
widening outwardly, the outer apical angle sharp. Length 64—63, 
breadth 2?—3 mm.

Bay. 
Two specimens. LHasily separable from O. dispersum, 
which also has completely divided eyes, by the distinctly 
granulate, rather convex elytrai interstices, and the more 
convex, more coarsely punctured thorax, which is more 
deeply emarginate in front, the broader antennary orbits, 
and the shorter pubescence.

(1817). 
Crypticus submaculatus, n. sp. 
Elliptic, narrow, moderately convex, glabrous, piceous or obscure 
ferruginous, slightly shining, the elytra each with one or two faint 
oblong spots on the disc at about one-third from the apex, the sides 
anteriorly, and in one specimen the apex also, rufous or rufo- 
testaceous, the legs and antenne rufo-testaceous. Head very densely, 
minutely punctate; antenne short, about reaching the base of the 
prothorax, joints 6—11 strongly transverse ; prothorax strongly 
transverse, the base feebly truncate-emarginate and with oblong, 
distinct fovez, the sides rounded and converging from the base, the 
entire surface densely, minutely punctate ; elytra about two and 
one-third times longer than the prothorax, and at the sides forming 
a continuous outline with it, finely and rather deeply punctate- 
striate, the interstices almost flat, and closely, minutely punctate ; 
prosternum produced, lanciform, and received by the narrow
