418 Rev. H. Clark’s Descriptions 
2. Geloptera nodosa. 
Subelongata, obscure cuprea, confusé punctata, nodis ornata: 
caput labro nigro, punctatissimum, vel nigro-cupreum vel 
nigrum; thorax vix transversus, angulis anticis compressis, 
fortiter et rugosé punctatus, nodis 4 in medio instructus ; 
sculellum transversé subcirculare; elytra satis elongata, 
apice attenuata, fortiter et confertim punctata, obsolete 
tuberculata, tuberculis plerumque insulatis; corpus subtus 
nigro-fuscum, abdomine pube adpressa pallida obtecto; 
pedes rufo-fusci ; antenne nigro-fusce. 
Long. corp. lin. 3—24; lat. lin. 13}—14. 
In appearance this species approaches G. tuberculata, but is 
much smaller and more parallel: it is more elongate than G. 
geniculata. 
In the collection of Mr. Baly, and also in my own. 
Genus THAUMASTOMERUS. 
Genus novum ex Eumolpidis, late ovatum. Caput verticale, 
antice subproductum. Palpi articulo ultimo turgido, incras- 
sato, haud ut plerumque in genere Ldusd subelongato. 
Antenne filiformes, elongate, tenues. Thorax transversus, 
angulis anticis valde depressis et acutis, marginibus lateralibus 
subrotundatis, anteriori emarginato, posteriori sinuato. Scu- 
tellum quadratum, apice obtuso. Llytra lata, thorace paulum 
Jatiora, posticé subattenuata, punctata, nitida. Abdomen 
segmento penultimo tertio latiore. Femora antica robusta, 
margine inferiori ad medium angulato; media valde incras- 
sata, brevia, arcuata (latitudo media penitus tertiam partem 
longitudinis eequat); postica attenuata, ad medium subglo- 
bosa. Tibie anticzee ad basin leviter incurvatz, versus 
apicem latiores, margine juxta apicem obtusé angulato ; 
mediz breves, robustz, inflectae, subcylindrice ; postica 
elongate, graciles. TZ'ars: antici et postici articulo basali 
lato et magno, secundo minuto triangulari, penultimo pro- 
funde bilobato, ultimo curvato; medii articulo basali secun- 
dum vix superante. Unguiculi limbi ambo robusti, hamis 
ipsis minutis valde incurvatis et brevibus, 
The above diagnosis is taken from a single example of a most 
abnormal form of Eumolpide. Generally it resembles the species 
of Edusa, but is somewhat broader and less parallel; its striking 
peculiarity consists in the strange incrassation of its medial fe-
