broader than the base of the thorax, their apical portion 
rather suddenly truncate ; they bear series of distant, shallow, 
foveiform impressions, the intervals are only slightly uneven. 
Legs nearly concolorous, there being a pale band near the 
middle of the femora only ; these latter are angulate below, 
the anterior are dentate. Yars¢ underneath with a bare 
channel along the middle, elsewhere with dense vestiture. 
Very much like the typical species, No. 1272, but only 
about half the size and without superficial inequalities. The 
tarsi are narrower, their third joint evidently so. The sculp- 
ture of the elytra ‘differs, the apical declivity has no nodiform 
elevations. ‘The squamosity would be concolorous if it were 
not for the pale parts described above; in &. ferr “gel it is 
more or less variegate. The large cavities seen on the sides 
of No. 1272 are here absent, “but there are many small 
flattened granules.

CAMPTOSCAPUS, gen. nov. 
ody fusiform, subdepressed, nearly glabrous. Rostrum 
almost quite parallel-sided, only very slightly narrowed 
towards the eyes. Antenne inserted at or close to the middle 
of the rostrum, rather long and stout. Scape not at all short, 
incrassate but not abruptly clavate towards the extremity ; 
this thickened portion is bent backwards, the basal is slightly 
curved in the opposite direction.  Huniculus 5-articulate, 
second joint almost the length of the first, rather longer than 
the third; joints 3 to 5 transverse. Club ovate, moderate, 
finely annulate. yes round, large, a little convex, widely 
separated above, distant from thorax. Scutel/um distinct, 
flat. Thorax narrowed and constricted anteriorly, its base 
truncate. Hlytra slightly curved from the suture to the 
shoulders, paraliel or a little narrowed posteriorly, apical 
margins not explanate. Legs long and stout; femora slender 
at the base, clavate beyond; tibie slightly dilated towards 
the extremity, their hooks moderately developed.  Tars? 
narrow, third joint scarcely at all enlarged, not lobate; claws 
small, 
In Pentarthrum, as defined by the author, the body is 
cylindric, the eyes prominent, and the scape is straight. In 
the Japanese genus Zychiodes the scape is short and flexuous, 
a character apparently of rare occurrence in the subfamily 
Pentarthrides.
