106 Memoirs on the Coleoptera 



Body more broadly subrhombic-oval, more or less densely sculptured throughout 

 and sparsely squamulose, with a basal and post-median denser streak on 

 each elytron; beak thickened basally; antennal club small, more broadly 

 oval; prosternum not impressed and without spines in the male, the coxae 

 narrowly separated. [Type L. insignis nov.] Ladustes 



34 — Body stout, rhomboid-suboval, very coarsely and densely sculptured and 

 with scattered slender squamules, which are more minute beneath; pronotal 

 sculpture coarsely strigose; beak strongly arcuate, arising abruptly and 

 almost perpendicularly from the head, the reentrant angle very deep in 

 profile and sulciform; anterior coxee well separated, the male prosternum 

 with two long slender processes. [Type S. armata nov.] Saldiopsis 



Body less broadly rhomboidal, the pronotum not strigose but discretely punctate, 

 much less abruptly tubulate at apex; anterior coxae narrowly separated; 

 prosternum obliquely bispinose in the male; beak similarly very arcuate 

 and joining the head almost perpendicularly. [Type P. conjunctus nov.] 



Pseudosaldius 



Body narrowly subrhombic-oval, feebly squamulose and very small in size, not 

 so strongly sculptured as in Saldiopsis, the pronotum more loosely strigose 

 as a rule; beak rather slender, very arcuate, not so abruptly demarcated 

 from the head as in the two preceding; anterior coxae very narrowly sepa- 

 rated; prosternum bispinose or unarmed in the male; prothorax more or 

 less conical in form. [Type L. caducus nov.] Leptosaldius 



35 — Upper surface more or less conspicuously squamose; femora never spiculate 

 beneath 36 



Upper surface, excepting the scutellum, glabrous, the lower with small sparse 

 squamules 43 



Upper surface in great part glabrous, always excepting one or two densely squa- 

 mose areas at each side of the invariably glabrous scutellum, the entire under 

 surface densely and conspicuously clothed with pale scales in typical species. 



44 



36 — Elytra with lineate arrangement of the scaly ornamentation 37 



Elytra without lineate ornamentation 39 



37 — Pronotum polished, glabrous and smooth; beak very arcuate; prosternum 

 obtusely canaliculate, the coxae very moderately separated; legs rather long 

 and slender; elytral suture with narrow dense vitta of pale scales in the 

 type. [Type T. bipartita nov.] Ternova 



Pronotum not glabrous, and always distinctly punctate 38 



38 — Form rhomboid-suboval; pronotum with lateral, the elytra with lineiform, 

 discal dense lines of scales in various positions; thoracic punctures always 

 dense but discrete; beak long and slender, arcuate; male prosternum 

 generally but not always with two long slender processes. [Type Centrinus 

 distinctus Boh.] Linonotus 



Form more evenly oval or less evidently rhombic; pale ornamentation consisting 

 of narrower and sparser squamules, usually evident on all the strial intervals 

 at base, and sometimes in short lines at the middle, these forming a chevron- 

 like fascia; beak slender, strongly arcuate; male prosternal spines very 

 slender, more oblique. [Type P. sedidus nov.] Parasaldius 



39 — Body moderately small in size 40 



Body more minute, with rather close vestiture as a rule, the dense pronotal 

 sculpture usually not at all strigiform 42 



40 — Form moderately broad, oval, polished and glabrous, the elytra with single 

 series of minute and suberect hairs; beak rather thick, compressed, arcuate; 

 antennal club gradually formed; prosternum flat, the coxae moderately 

 separated; prothorax briefly tubulate at apex; scutellum small. [Type D. 

 habilis nov.] Dericinus
