Synelasma. 

 Synelasma, Pascoe, Trans. Ent. Soc. ser. 2, iv. 248. 

 Caput antice transversum ; fronte planata, tuberibus antenni- 

 feris brevibus, valde remotis. Oculi parvi, profunde divisi. 

 Antennce breves, lineares; scapo cylindrico, basi tenuiori ; 

 articulis tertio et quarto multo longioribus ; cseteris brevissi- 

 mis, apicera versus plus minusve pectinato-fimbriatis. Pro- 

 thorax antice capite latior, postice sensim dilatatus, lateribus 

 rotundatus, prope marginem anteriorem dente instructus. 

 Elytra ampliata, convexa, brevia, apice rotundata, basi gene- 

 raliter cristata. Pedes robusti, breves. Pro- et meso-sterna 

 elevata. 

 Four well-marked species of this genus are in the collection. 

 Three of these have basal crests on the elytra, varying, however, 

 considerably in their extent and character, while the fourth is not 

 only without the crests, but also without the anterior prothoracic 

 tooth. In other respects it is so conformable that it scarcely 

 seems justifiable to separate it generically. The curious little 

 hairy comb-like brushes fringing the last five or six joints of the 

 antennae are, I think, not confined to one sex, at least one of the 

 specimens before me appearing to be a female. The last seven of 

 these joints are so short that togetiier they scarcely exceed half 

 the length of the four preceding.

 sparse, crisp, oclireous hairs ; prothorax with numerous black, 

 irregular, crowded tubercles ; scutellum transverse ; elytra with 

 numerous granulated tubercles, some bearing a short stiff hair,

 but one rising into a broad crest at the base, at the side and be- 

 fore the middle a large pale ochreous patch, the base, including 

 the scutellum and the adjoining portion of the prothorax, pale fer-
