Lorelopsis pilosus, n. sp. (Plate I., fig. 7.) 



Elongate, flattened above, shining, when fresh somewhat thickly 

 clothed with very fine, long, erect hairs, which are easily abraded ; 

 piceous or brown, the antenn.-e and legs ferruginous. Head 

 thickly, somewhat coarsely punctate; antennas about reaching the 

 humeri, moderately stout, the joints closely articulated, 3 much 

 longer than 2, 4-8 short, subequal, 9-11 broader than those pre- 

 ceding, 9 as long as broad, 10 slightly broader than long, 11 oval. 

 Prothorax rather convex, slightly wider than the head, as long as 

 broad, truncate at the base and apex, widest in front, the sides a 

 little rounded and gradually converging from before the middle to 

 the base, the angles somewhat obtuse ; the surface thickly, 

 moderately coarsely punctate. Elytra elongate, gradually widen- 

 ing from the base to one-third from the apex and there more than 

 one-half wider than the prothorax, abruptly narrowing behind; the 

 surface coarsely, closely, confusedly punctate, the punctures much 

 coarser than those on the head and prothorax. Beneath thickly 

 punctate, the punctures very coarse at the sides, the metasternum 

 .sparsely and much more finely punctate. Length 3f-4, breadth

 uate at the tip ; the apical joint of the maxillary palpi stout, 

 securiform. Antennte very short, about equalling in length 

 the width of the head, stout ; the joints closely articulated, 

 1 fctout, 2 smaller, short, 3-7 gradually increasing in width, 4-7
