526 Dr. Malcolm Cameron’s descriptions of 
Of the size and build of P. obscurus, Kr., distinct by the more 
shining appearance, yellowish and much more finely and sparingly 
punctured elytra. 
Head subtriangular, narrowly impressed on either side of the 
vertex before the ocelli; finely but distinctly coriaceous, impunctate. 
Antennae with Ist and 2nd joints stout, 3rd and 4th globose, 5th 
slightly, 6th to 10th more strongly transverse, gradually increasing 
in breadth, 11th short, oval. Thorax strongly transverse, widest 
at the middle, regularly rounded from the anterior angles to the 
base, scarcely perceptibly sinuate before the posterior angles which 
are obtuse and slightly explanate; disc longitudinally impressed 
on either side of the middle line posteriorly, finely but distinctly 
coriaceous, superficially and sparingly punctured. lytra broader 
than, and twice as long as the thorax, coriaceous, very finely and 
sparingly punctured. Abdomen coriaceous, finely and sparingly 
punctured.

OXYTELINI. 
3. Oxytelus (Anotylus) myrmecophilus, n. sp. 
Black, opaque, the front of the head and the abdomen a little 
shining; thorax feebly tri-sulcate, impressed laterally, the sides 
narrowed posteriorly in a straight line. Antennae entirely black, 
legs testaceous. Anterior tibiae not emarginate. Length 2 mm. 
Very similar to O. tetracarinatus, Block, but the antennae stouter, 
the sculpture of the head and thorax longitudinally strigose, the 
sculpture of the elytra stronger and the abdomen much less distinctly 
punctured. 
Head large, transverse, sub-quadrate, scarcely as wide as the 
thorax in either sex, temples as long as the diameter of the eyes; 
impressed with a narrow transverse line towards the front between 
the antennal tubercles, which, with the part anterior to the line 
are smooth and shining, the rest densely and finely strigose, im- 
punctate. Vertex sometimes foveolate. Antennae with the 3rd 
joint shorter than 2nd, 4th small, transverse, 5th square, 6th to 
10th transverse, gradually increasing in width, 11th pointed. 
Thorax transverse (less in 9), broadest just behind the anterior 
angles, gradually narrowed posteriorly in a straight line to the 
blunted posterior angles. The sulci feeble, the external curved, 
the sides impressed, strigose, impunctate. Elytra transverse, longer
