  crassum, 
  capite 
  angustius 
  illoque 
  paulo

  subangulatum, 
  

   basi 
  supra 
  convexum, 
  per 
  strigam 
  transversam 
  a 
  capite 
  dis- 
  

   tinctum, 
  apice 
  emarginatum 
  ; 
  scrobe

   flexa. 
  Caput 
  paulo 
  exsertum, 
  supra 
  modice 
  convexum. 
  

   Oculi 
  parvi, 
  rotundati, 
  convexi. 
  Thorax 
  oblongus, 
  basi 
  

   truncatus, 
  apice 
  supra 
  paululum 
  rotundato-productus, 
  late- 
  

   ribus 
  aequaliter 
  rotundato-ampliatus, 
  dorso 
  parum 
  convexus. 
  

   Scutellum 
  minutum. 
  Elyirn 
  elongato-ovata, 
  apice 
  attenuata, 
  

   Pedes 
  longiusculi, 
  pilosi 
  ; 
  femoribus 
  clavatis 
  ; 
  tarsis 
  medio- 
  

   cribus, 
  articulo 
  ultimo 
  biunguiculato. 
  Corpus 
  elongatum, 
  

   parce 
  squamosum, 
  mediocris 
  magnitudinis. 
  Elytra 
  thorace 
  

   parum 
  latiora, 
  dorso 
  depressa 
  ; 
  tibise 
  posticae 
  pilis 
  longis- 
  

   simis 
  vestitse. 
  

   The 
  genus 
  Geotragus, 
  it 
  appears 
  to 
  me, 
  approaches 
  most 
  nearly 
  

   in 
  its 
  characters 
  to 
  the 
  insect 
  upon 
  which 
  the 
  present 
  genus 
  is 
  

   founded. 
  Enaptorhinus 
  is 
  of 
  a 
  more 
  elongated 
  form 
  ; 
  the 
  rostrum, 
  

   instead 
  of 
  being 
  depressed 
  above, 
  is 
  somewhat 
  convex 
  ; 
  the 
  

   pterygii 
  (or 
  side 
  pieces 
  at 
  the 
  apex, 
  beneath 
  the 
  rostral 
  groove) 
  

   are 
  more 
  prominent, 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  constriction 
  at 
  the 
  base, 
  sepa- 
  

   rating 
  the 
  rostrum 
  from 
  the 
  head 
  ; 
  this 
  transverse 
  groove 
  is 
  some- 
  

   what 
  curved, 
  bending 
  forwards 
  in 
  front 
  of 
  each 
  eye 
  ; 
  the 
  antennal 
  

   groove 
  descends 
  more 
  suddenly 
  : 
  the 
  antennae 
  are 
  much 
  stouter, 
  

   and 
  have 
  the 
  joints 
  shorter, 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  scarcely 
  any 
  trace 
  of 
  

   crenulation 
  on 
  the 
  inner 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  tibiae.

  Amongst 
  the 
  Coleoptera 
  brought 
  from 
  China 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Fortime 
  

   were 
  several 
  specimens 
  of 
  the 
  insect 
  here 
  described, 
  and 
  the 
  series 
  

   consisted 
  of 
  individuals 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  elytra 
  were 
  very 
  narrow, 
  the 
  

   whole 
  dorsal 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  flat 
  (or 
  even 
  slightly 
  concave), 
  

   and 
  the 
  hind 
  tibise 
  rather 
  densely 
  clothed 
  with 
  long 
  pale 
  hairs 
  ; 
  

   and 
  other 
  specimens 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  elytra 
  were 
  more 
  ovate, 
  broader,
