14 Mr. G. C. Champion on the Heteromerous Coleoptera 



Hah. Grenada — Balthazar, on the Windward side. 



Of this peculiar little species one specimen only was 

 obtained ; it was attracted to " light." In general shape 

 the insect somewhat resembles P. rotundatam, Chevr. 

 In the markings of the elytra it differs from all the 

 American species of the genus known to me. 



Platydema scrijjtipenne.

Hah. Grenada — Soubise, on the Windward side. 



One specimen, agreeing perfectly with the type, which 

 is supposed to have been found in Madagascar (or ? 

 Macassar), and with an example found by Mr. J. J. Walker 

 in Dammal.in 1891. Also recorded from India, Siam, 

 Java, and Macassar by Mr. Waterhouse, who incorrectly 

 ascribes the species to Chevrolat. The insect must have 

 been introduced into the island of Grenada. Under 

 piles of decaying wood on the coast (Smith). 



LOBELUS. 



Lorelus, Sharp, Ent. Monthly Mag., xiii., p. 76 (1876). 



The four described species of this genus are all from 

 New Zealand. The following insect merely differs from 

 L. priscus, Sharp, in having the penultimate tarsal joint 

 more feebly excavate above, and the limbs less elongate. 



Lorelus hrevicornis, n. sp. (Plate I., fig. 6.) 



Elongate, rather depressed, shining, glabrous, castaneous, the 

 prothorax and elytra (the suture, humeri, and apex excepted) 

 suffused with piceousin one example, the legsferrugineo-testaceous. 

 Head thickly and rather coarsely punctate, the eyes not prominent ; 

 antennre short, not reaching the base of the prothorax, moderately 

 stout, the joints closely articulated, 3 a little longer than 2, 4-8 

 short, gradually decreasing in length, 5-8 transverse, 9-1 1 broader 

 than those preceding, 9 and 10 transverse, 11 short-oval.
