sliglitly raised, the shoulders feeble and obliquely rounded, 

 punctato-striate, the intervals smooth and even. Legs with 

 the femora stronj^ly clavate and having a rather large tooth, 

 all the tibi;e sinuate internally near the base, the corbels 

 of the hind pair entirely open, the tarsal claws free. 



Type, M. aspersus, sp. n. 



Allied to Phijtoscapliiis, Sclih., but differing from it in the 

 very broad and rounded prothorax, the vertical basal margin 

 of the elytra, and the small and widely separated, eyes. 



Me'wnops aspersus^ sp. n. 



Colour piceous, with chocolate-brown scaling and pale 

 markings ; the head fawn-coloured ; the prothorax with a 

 broad dorsal and narrower lateral stripe of yellowish-creamy 

 scales ; the elytra with a similarly coloured, broad, irregular, 

 and broken lateral stripe, and with small pale spots on the 

 disk, which often coalesce along the suture. 



Rostrum only slightly widened at the apex, the dorsal area 

 al nost plane and with a fine central carina, the lateral area 

 with a deep narrow furrow running towards the upper edge 

 of the eye and a broader one beneath the scrobe. Antennce 

 with joints 3 to 7 of the funicle about as long as broad. 

 Prothorax not quite as broad as the elytra at the shoulders, 

 the base slightly bisinuate, the upper surface with shallow 

 punctures and slightly granulate, the sculpture being almost 

 hidden by the scaling. Elytra jointly sinuate at the i)ase, 

 the apices jointly rounded, slightly broader behind the 

 middle, the striae shallow, with very large subquadrate 

 punctures (somewhat hidden by scaling), the intervals 

 almost plane and smooth, with minute subdepressed setae. 



Length 5|-6, breadth 2|-3 mm. 



Assam. 



Meionops glaucinus, sp. n. 



Colour black, with dark greenish-grey scaling throughout. 



Rostrum with the dorsal area almost plane and without a 

 carina. Antemice with joints 3 to 7 of the funicle evidently 

 longer than broad. Prothorax as broad as the elytra at the 

 shoulders, the base truncate, the apical portion shallowly 

 constricted. Elytra truncate at the base, the sides parallel 

 to beyond the middle, the punctures smaller. 



In other respects agrees with M. aspersus, Mshl.
