parts, legs, and first three joints of the antennae reddish-testaceous, 

 the rest of the antennae fuscous. Length 1 '75 nun. 



A s hinin g, reddish species, with lighter elytra, very similar in build 

 to T. nitidus, Baudi, but with broader head, smaller eyes, and shorter 

 elytra. Head large, ferruginous, constricted behind, scarcely 

 narrower than the thorax; the front on either side with a well- 

 marked longitudinal impression ; the temples slightly prominent, 

 their length equal to the diameter of the eyes; moderately finely 

 and not very closely punctured, and without visible ground-sculp- 

 ture ; pubescence tine and sparing. Antennae longer than the head 

 and thorax, the 2nd joint about half as long as the 1st, the 3rd much 

 shorter than the 2nd, the 4th scarcely longer than broad, the 5th 

 square, larger than the 4th and 6th, the 6th moniliform, the 7th 

 and 8th slightly, the 9th and 10th more strongly, transverse, the 11th 

 conical. Thorax about one -half as broad again as long, broadest 

 at the junction of the first and middle thirds, from thence gradually 

 narrowed and rounded to the anterior angles, more strongly con- 

 tracted and much less rounded to the posterior angles; the disc 

 with four distinct impressions, the sides rather broadly and super- 

 ficially impressed; puncturation rather fine and not very close; 

 pubescence fine and scanty; no visible ground-sculpture. Elytra 

 reddish-testaceous, shining, one-fourth longer than the thorax, 

 transverse ; puncturation coarser than that of the thorax, rather 

 superficial and moderately close ; pubescence fine and moderately 

 close. Abdomen very sparingly, scarcely perceptibly punctured, 

 finely coriaceous, finely and sparingly pubescent.

9. Trogophloeus (Taenosoma) rufotestaceus, n. sp. 



Reddish -testaceous, moderately shining, antennae, mouth -parts 

 and legs testaceous, the last three joints of the antennae forming a 

 club. Length L4 mm. 



A minute species, with large head, the abdomen more shining than 

 the fore-parts, and with the fourth visible segment somewhat pitchy. 

 Head large, subtriangular, constricted behind, a little wider than the 

 thorax; temples rounded, longer than the diameter of the eyes, 

 which are small; the front narrowly black between the antennal 

 tuberosities, slightly impressed on either side; sculpture finely 

 coriaceous, without trace of puncturation ; pubescence very fine, 

 yellow, very sparing. Antennae about as long as the head and 

 thorax, the 3rd joint shorter than the 2nd, the 4th small, monili- 

 form, the oili to the Nth transverse gradually increasing in width,
