Sent sparingly by Mr. Belt. Like A. vexillaris, the 

 antennae are not much (in c? about a fourth) longer than 

 the body, and stout. 



Carphina, nov. gen. 



Gen. Eutrypano affine. Corpus oblongura, naodice elon- 

 gatum, supra modice convexum. Caput thoracis parte 

 antica latiori, fronte ut in Eutrypano brevi ; oculi supra 

 hand approximati, infra breves subquadrati. Thorax ab 

 apice rotundato-dilatatus, pone medium tuberculo parvo 

 retrorsum oblique spectanti, et pone hanc sinuatim an- 

 gustatus. Elytra oblongo-quadrata, postice angustata, 

 apice truncata, utrinque carina laterali, distincta, ahumero 

 usque ultra medium munita ; epipleuris interdum breviter 

 carinatis. Pedes modice elongati ; femora clavata. Tarsi 

 anteriores ^ haud dilatati : ovipositor $ ut in Eutrypano 

 modice elongatus. 



This genus is necessary for the reception of numerous 

 rather small species, differing from Entrypanus in the 

 distinct and elongated lateral carinae of the elytra, and 

 in the form of the thorax. They have no resemblance 

 in facies to Golobofhea, although agreeing with that genus 

 in some of their characters. Their dress, in its streaky- 

 brown coloration, resembles the bark of certain trees.

Many examples. Very closely allied to C. Hgneola, 

 from which it differs, besides its broader shape, by the
