122 Mr. David Sharp on the 



19. Bnjaxis cubitus, n. sp. Rufulus, satnitidus, tenuis- 

 sime pubesceus, vix punctulatus ; prothorace trifoveolato, 

 foveola intermedia lateralibus miuore. Loug. 1 lin. 



Mas. antennis articulis sex ultimis incrassatis; tibiis 

 anterioribus intus ante apicem excisis: femoribus anteri- 

 oribns subtus nltra basin denticulo minnto ; tibiis inter- 

 mediis apice imco valido, brevi, minus inflexo; pos- 

 terioribus apice abrupte curvatis, apice acute angnlatis; 

 tarsis posterioribus articulo secundo leviter incrassato, 

 medio constricto; abdomine segmento ultimo ventrali 

 impressione magna^ insignis. 



Male. Antenna with the 2nd joint rather stout, shorter 

 than the 1st; 3rd rather slender, longer than 2nd ; 4 and 5 

 similar to one another ; 6th dilated, triangular ; 7th broad, 

 transverse; 8th broad and short, smaller than the contiguous 

 ones, and placed a little obliquely to them; 9tli very trans- 

 verse, 10th larger than 9th, equal and transverse ; lltli 

 rather large, but not broader than 10th, obtusely pointed. 

 Head narrower than the thorax, Avith tliree large fovefB on 

 the upper side, impunctate. Thorax only about half 

 as broad as the elytra, considerably narrowed behind, 

 not quite so long as broad, furnished with three foveje of 

 which the middle one is smaller than the others; it is im- 

 pvmctate, except that the extreme base behind the fovese is 

 finely punctured. Elytra without distinct punctuation, 

 with a sutural stria, Avhich is deeply impressed at its base, 

 and with a curved stria between this and the shoulder, and 

 also between these two strite with a deep fine impression at 

 the base. Hind body with the first dorsal segment longer 

 than the 2nd, but not so long as the 2nd and 3rd too:ether. 



JN agasaki ; two specimens. This species is very re- 

 markable from the striking pecidiarity of the antennae of 

 the male ; the dilated portion of these organs is, as it Avere, 

 elbowed in the middle; joints 6, 7 and 8 seen from beneath 

 form a kind of irregular cavity. 



Besides these two specimens, I have before me a female 

 Br ij axis from the same locality, Avhich may possibly be the 

 female of B. cubitus. It wants all the characters given 

 above as those of the male of B. cubitus; it is also a little 

 smaller and has the thorax rather shorter. Its antennas 

 are slender, the 5th joint a little longer than the 4th; joints 

 7, 8 and 9 small, particularly the 8th ; 10th joint larger than 

 9th, not transverse; 11th joint stout, obtusely pointed.
