  appears 
  to 
  be 
  really 
  an

  the

  somewhat

  This 
  is 
  another 
  anomalous 
  Xantholinus, 
  having 
  the 
  nicies 
  

   of 
  Gauropterus, 
  but 
  with 
  the 
  thoracic 
  pleurae 
  not 
  abbreviate; 
  

   the 
  last 
  joint 
  of 
  the 
  maxillary 
  palpus 
  is 
  large, 
  the 
  anterior 
  

   tibise 
  are 
  short 
  and 
  thick, 
  their 
  tarsi 
  a 
  little 
  dilated, 
  and 
  the 
  

   presternum 
  short, 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  insect 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  really 
  allied 
  

   to 
  the 
  large 
  Eulissi 
  of 
  South 
  America. 
  The 
  third 
  joint 
  of 
  

   the 
  antenna 
  is 
  elongate, 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  second. 
  The 
  head 
  

   is 
  oblong, 
  convex, 
  very 
  shining 
  black, 
  with 
  a 
  few 
  moderately 
  

   coarse 
  punctures 
  near 
  the 
  sides 
  and 
  hind 
  angles. 
  Thorax 
  

   narrowed

  Elytra 
  elongate 
  and 
  narrow, 
  sparingly 
  

   punctate 
  in 
  an 
  irregularly 
  seriate 
  manner.

  Antennas 
  with 
  short 
  scape 
  and 
  small 
  third 
  joint 
  only 
  about 
  

   half 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  second, 
  which 
  itself 
  is 
  rather 
  short. 
  Head 
  

   broad, 
  but 
  not 
  so 
  broad 
  as 
  long, 
  straight 
  at 
  the 
  sides 
  and 
  

   truncate 
  behind, 
  the 
  intermediate 
  antennal 
  grooves 
  obsolete, 
  

   and 
  the 
  lateral 
  or 
  ocular 
  ones 
  present 
  but 
  very 
  short, 
  each 
  

   being 
  scarcely 
  more 
  than 
  a 
  very 
  large 
  puncture 
  contiguous 
  

   to 
  the 
  eye; 
  the 
  punctures 
  are 
  few 
  and 
  rather 
  small. 
  Tho- 
  

   rax 
  only 
  slightly 
  narrowed 
  behind, 
  the 
  dorsal 
  series 
  consisting 
  

   of 
  four 
  or 
  five 
  rather 
  small 
  punctures 
  on 
  each 
  side, 
  and 
  besides 
  

   these 
  there 
  are 
  about 
  the 
  same 
  number 
  of 
  still 
  smaller 
  punc- 
  

   tures 
  between 
  the 
  dorsal 
  series 
  and 
  the 
  lateral 
  margin 
  

   Elytra 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  ihorax, 
  almost 
  impunctate.
