entire insect is that of cinnamon, a little more ruddy 

 (and rather shining) on the antennas and legs. Only 

 those rugae of the thorax are regular which lie near the 

 anterior margin, the rest are much interrupted, and the 

 interstices are here and there thickened ; the lateral 

 spines ai-e reduced to smallish conical tubercles. The 

 antennae are much shorter than the body, the apices of 

 all the joints from 8-10 are produced and acute, but only 

 the third and fourth are really spinous. 



The species seems allied to H. hellator of Serville, which 

 I have not seen ; but it differs in colour and in several 

 points of structure. The anterior haunches and their 

 sockets are much angulate extei'nally, as according to 

 Lacordaire they are in H. hellator.

1. Criodion torticolle, n. sp. 



Magnum, parallelogrammicum, depressum, castaneum, 

 fulvo-griseo dense subtiliter tomentosum; capite vix 

 punctate ; an tennis ( $ ) tomentosis, infra ciliatis, supra 

 basin versus setis raris vestitis, articulis apice nullomodo 

 angulatis ; thorace quadrate, supra valde inasquali, sulcis 

 brevibus flexuosis torto, lateribus foveolis nonnullis pro- 

 fundis nigris ; elytris coriaceis, apice rotundatis, sutura 

 spinosis; femoribus et tibiis intermediis et posticis apice 

 valde spinosis. 



Long. 2 un. 4 lin. ? . 



Closely allied to the type of the genus, C. tomentosum, 

 Serv., differing chieHy in the very irregular surface of 

 the thorax, which resembles a cerebral surface in its con- 

 voluted elevations and fissures. The antennal joints 5-8 

 have not their apical inner angles produced, and the 

 antennae are much less setose altogether than in most of 

 the allied species.
