others being entirely dark fuscous. The principal mark 
of distinction lies, however, in the coloration of the joints 
of the antennzx, which seems to be constant, even in the 
pale variety. ‘The elytra in the latter show one or two 
pale fuscous, deeply indented, transverse bands, before 
and below the middle. 
Meaistoes, Boh. 
Megistops granulatus, sp. n. 
Obscure pale fulvous, above pale flavous, the apical joints of the 
antenne darker; thorax transverse, finely granulate, opaque ; 
elytra similarly sculptured, the sides and two triangular spots at 
the middle dark brown. 
Length, 2 lines. 
Of bigneate shape ; the sides of the head entirely occupied by the 
large eyes, which, in the male, meet at the vertex, leaving a narrow 
triangular strep eshte space below, the frontal elevations very 
small, the labrum piceous ; antenne extending to the base of the 
elytra, slender, fulvous, the terminal joints fuscous, the basal joint 
elongate and thickened, the second and third joints small, equal, 
the former also thickened, the fourth joint longer than the follow- 
ing ones, the terminal joints much shorter ; thorax nearly three 
times broader than long, the sides straight and obliquely converg- 
ing in front, the anterior angles thickened, slightly oblique, the 
surface minutely granulate, without any punctuation, flavous, 
Opaque ; scutellum piceous ; elytra conjointly rounded at the apex, 
elongate, rather convex, somewhat subcylindrical, the surface 
coloured and sculptured like that of the thorax, the sides with a 
narrow piceous stripe, which, at the middle, widens into a small 
triangular spot, while a similar spot is placed transversely near the 
suture (this latter spot is absent in one specimen); legs obscure 
flavous ; the posterior femora strongly incrassate ; posterior tibiz 
robust, dilated, with a broad spur, emarginate at the apex ; posterior 
metatarsus as long as the following joints together.

If Megistops is to be retained as distinct from Dibolia, 
on account of the large eyes meeting on the median line, 
the present species must be referred to it, although a dif- 
ference will probably be found in regard to this structure 
in the two sexes. ‘he prosternum, however, in Megistops
