Prosternal process evenly urched. Tubercle of mesosternum more obtuse than in 

 the other species.

Cnemolia gen. nov. 



S ? . Near Lasiope^us. Eye sinuate, lower lobe large, its vertical diameter 

 much longer than that of cheelc. Antenna fringed beneath : scape elongate, 

 slenderer than in Lasiopfzus and longer, coarsely pnnctate-rngate at end ; third 

 segment longer than fourth. IMetsisternnm distinctly elevate sublaterally at apex, 

 carinate in S ■ Midiibia without incision ; i'oretarsus as in Lasiopezus. 



Typus : Cnemolia mima spec. nov. 



The absence of an incision from the midtibia would remove this genus to the 

 neighbourhood of Mesosa according to Lacordairt's classification. But it is 

 undoubtedly a close ally of Lasiopezus. In Idactus the midtibial groove is either 

 small or also absent. Idactus can be distinguished from Cnemolia by the smaller 

 eye and the strongly tubercnlated or crested pronotnm and elytra. The antennae of 

 Cnemolia are twice the length of the body in S , as long as the body in ?. 



48. Cnemolia mima spec. nov. 



cJ. Black, covered with a grey pubescence, irregularly variegated with tawny 

 and, on the elytra, dotted with black ; all the markings indistinct ; middle of sides 

 of elytra somewhat whitish ; a line above lateral spine of pronotum grey, a mesial 

 one tawny, a line on elytrnm extending obliquely from shoulder to disc tawny, 

 dotted with black ; these lines quite indistinct. Bases of antennal segments grey. 

 Legs variegated with grey, clay, and brown. 



Frons granulose. Vertical diameter of lower lobe of eye more than three times 

 as long as that of cheek. Prothorax broader than long, side-spine conical, broad at 

 base ; notum granulose, with two feeble convexities behind the subapical transverse 

 sulcus. Elytra flattened, much less convex ))efore apex than in Lasiopezus, less 

 narrowing posticad than in Latisfernum ; dispersedly punctured, more coarsely at 

 base, granulose at shoulders, irregularly depressed, the pubescence slightly raised ou 

 the feeble wrinkles ; a basal, mesial, elongate, broad but not high tubercle ; between 

 it and shoulder a depression which extends obliquely to disc. 



Length, 12 mm. ; elytra, 8i mm. ; breadth, 4 J mm.

?. Black ; densely covered with a butfish grey pubescence; dotted with black,

 3 and 4, and ajiical two-thirds of the following segments, a large ajiical ])atch on 

 npperside of tibiae, apices of tarsal segments and the whole third segment, black.
