some New Species of Liicanicke. 17 



smooth. The thorax is slightly more convex, the sides 

 are rather less parallel, but scarcel/ rounded ; the surface 

 is more finely granulo.^e, the dis3 being almost smooth, 

 sparingly punctured with distinct punctures. The elytra 

 are smoother, and the specimen before me has the humeral 

 angles obtuse. 'Jlie tibise arc shorter and stouter, the 

 anterior tibiae, besides the usual bifurcate apex, are fur- 

 nished with one distinct tooth only near the apex. The 

 apex of the posterior tibia3 is enlarged above. The 

 presternum, which is produced behind the anterior coxEe, 

 although slightly compressed, is not lamelliform as in 

 C. inclinatus.

 Parry's Collection. 



The next insect is another species of Cladognathvs, 

 closely allied to C. MacleUandi , with the type specimen 

 of which Major Parry (who called my attention to this 

 also) compared his examples, and considers them to be 

 distinct. There are two specimens ( $ and ? ) in the 

 National Collection, and I have drawn up my description 

 from them. I may mention that Major Parry received 

 this insect with the name 0. MacleUandi; he proposes 

 the name of impressus for it.
