mucli longer, more slender, and cylindrical rostrum, its 

 siniplv uncinate tibia3, free and bifid tarsal claws, and dentate 

 front femora. In Thamnobius the rostrum is also more 

 cylindrical, the scape does not exceed the front margin of 

 the eye, the tibiae are merely uncinate (not mucronate, as 

 stated by Lacordaire), and the tarsal claws are free and 

 appendiculate. 



Onychocnemis careya, sp. n. 



c? ? . Colour red-brown, shining and sparsely clothed 

 with short recumbent white setae; the head darker; the 

 elytra with the entire suture blackish brown, as well as a 

 large common patch extending from the base to beyond the 

 middle and laterally as far as the fifth stria, its outline 

 being very similar to that of the elytra ; the mesosternum, 

 metasteruum, tarsal claws, and the two apical hooks of the 

 tibia also dark brown or blackish. 



Head rugosely punctate, the forehead a little narrower 

 than the base of the rostrum and broader than the eye. 

 Hostruni very gradually widened from base to apex, rugosely 

 punctate above from the base to the end of the scrobe, the 

 apical area more lightly punctate ( c? ) or impunctate ( ? ). 

 Prothorax subcouical, almost as long as its width at the 

 base, gradually narrowed from there to the apex, the sides 

 gently rounded, without any anterior constriction, the basal 

 angles nearly right angles, the base angularly produced in 

 the middle, the apical margin very shallowly sinuate dorsally 

 and oblique at the sides ; the upppr surface with coarse 

 reticulate punctation throughout and with a median stripe 

 of denser pale recumbent setse. Elytra almost parallel-sided 

 from the shoulders to well behind the middle, broadly 

 rounded behind, the apices continuous, the basal margin 

 slightly raised and almost straight from the second stria to 

 the shoulders ; the striae broad, containing deep closely-set 

 punctures, which diminish behind, the intervals scarcely 

 broader than the striae, almost flat and finely aciculate, the 

 posterior callus nearly obsolete; the dorsal outline flat 

 from the base to the middle, then giadually declivous. Legs 

 coarsely punctate and clothed with curved white setae. 



Length 2-2^, breadth l-l^ mm.
