Genus Misce.vs. 
Miscelus carinatus, sp. 0. 
Length 11-14 mm.; width 3-4 mm. 
Black, shiny ; antennz, buccal organs, tarsi, and ventral 
surface eccasionally piceous,. 
Head (2°3 mm. wide) convex, flat in front, neck lightly 
constricted at some distance from eyes, which (for the genus) 
are moderately prominent ; genze gradually contracted behind ; 
clypeus deeply emarginate ; frontal foveze shallow, faintly 
strigose ; a small impression on middle of front, surface 
smooth. Prothorax eonvex, cordate, as long as wide (3°0 mm. ), 
base bisinuate, bordered, apex widely emarginate, front angles 
not much rounded, sides with narrow reflexed border, gently 
rounded in front, sinuate near hind angles, which are reflexed 
and sharply rectangular ; median line deep, almost foveate 
behind, but, as a rule, stopping short of the basal margin ; 
hind transverse impression deep ; basal fovez rather slight, 
elongate, near the angles; surface practically smooth, with 
some almost imperceptible transverse striation and some 
very sparse minute punctures. Llytra (40x80 mm.) 
convex at sides only, nearly parallel, shoulders well marked, 
sides with a fine reflexed border, slightly sinuate at basal 
third ; stricz fine, impunctate, faintly crenulate at sides, odd
