wide and the last not quite twice as long as wide. In the 

 female the basal joint is as long as wide, the middle one 

 transverse, and the last half as long again as it is wide. 

 The male is much smaller tlian the female. 



Genus Teogoderma. 



Trogoderma inclusum, Lee., is apparently the common 

 European T. versicolor^ Creutz., a cosmopolitan insect, al- 

 though not recognized as such in the cq.talogues. It is 

 evidently carried about by commerce, specimens in the British 

 Museum having been found in rice and wheat in India. 



The descriptions of Trogoderma {EurhopaJus) rubiginofius 

 and variegatus o( Solier (Gay's 'Historiadi Chile/ iv. p. 373) 

 are transposed, as comparison with the figures shows. 



T. yariipes, Blackb. (T. R. Soc. S. Austr. xii. 1892, p. 208), 

 is omitted from the catalogue. The name variipes, Casey, is 

 a duplicate, and that of 



Trogoderma caseyi (nom. nov.) 



may be substituted for it. 



Trogoderma consors, sp. n. 



Atrum, antennis pedibus elytrorumque apicibus rufescentibus,

 lobato, utrinque oblique sulcato ; scutello sat magno ; elytria

The extremities of the eljtra are separately rounded, as in 

 T. occidentale, Blackb., but it is more elongate, less densely 

 granulated and opaque, the pronotum less pointed behind, 

 and the visible scutellum larger. It more resembles T. 

 eyrense, Blackb., but the apices of the elytra are not rounded 

 in that species and the club of the antenna is narrower. The 

 oblique grooves extending from each side of the base of the 

 pronotum are scarcely visible in either of Blackburn^s species.
