244 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some new 



body, tlie third joint longest, the remainder gradually decreas- 

 ing in length to the tenth, but nearly of equal thickness ; 

 prothorax with a slightly elevated transverse ridge in the 

 middle, its disk at the sides paler; scutellum indistinct; 

 elytra narrower towards the apex, a dark semicircular patch 

 on each side at the margin, posteriorly each elytron with three 

 tubercles near and in a line with the suture, exterior to these 

 three smaller, the last forming the outer angle of the truncate

Tanylamia. 



Camit angiistum, fronte elongata ; tuhera antemiifera, erects, con- 

 tigua. Ocnli grosse granulati, lobo superiore obsolete, inferiore 

 angusto. Aniennce corpore longiores ; scajw subcylindrico, elon- 

 gate ; articulo tertio sequentibus longiore. Prothorax cylin- 

 dricus, inermis. Elytra elongata,. angusta. Pedes breves; femora 

 in medio incrassata ; tihke intermedise sinuatse ; tarsi mediocres ; 

 wwuicuU divergentes. Pro- et mesosierna depressa subhorizon-

This genus is perhaps best approximated to Ectatosia ; it 

 has the same narrow outline^ but with a different facies ; 

 moreover the upper lobe of the eye is undeveloped ; the 

 scape long, reaching nearly to the elytra ; the legs shorter, 

 the posterior when extended not reaching the apex of the 

 abdomen. Ectatosia has the intermediate coxal cavity closed. 



Tanylamia melanura. 



T. angusta, fulvescens, sat dense griseo-pilosa fusco-varia ; elytris 

 postice tubcrculis quatuor albo-fasciculatis instructis ; apice abdo- 

 minis atra. Long. 11 lin.

 lum scutiform ; elytra more than three times longer than the 

 prothorax, gradually narrowing posteriorly, towards the apex
