236 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on Additions to 



Compared with 0. squamulosus, Boh., this species is more 

 convex, the rostrum and prothorax not carinated, and the 

 elytra with rounded punctures and with a prominent tubercle 

 at the base of each. 



Oxyops calidus.

A well-marked species. The larger granules on the pro- 

 thorax appear to the naked eye as two dark blotches ; on the 

 elytra there are four indeterminate naked band-like spaces with 

 punctures, the two intermediate bands slightly connected, the 

 punctures much larger than on the rest of the elytra. 



Oxyops pruinosus. 



0. obovatus, niger, setulis parvis albis paree adspersus ; rostro lati- 

 tudine fere sesquilongiore, apicem versus paulo excavato, in medio 

 linea laevigata instructo ; oculis minoribus ; antennis sat dense 

 pilosis, funiculo articulo secundo quam tertio sesquilongiore ; 

 prothorace angustiore, magis elongato, confertim granulato, disco 

 utrinque granulis paucis majoribus ; scutello oblongo ; elytris 

 ampliatis, modice convexis, humeris prominulis, seriatim punctatis, 

 spatiis transversis denudatis elevatis munitis, interstitiis basi haud 

 tuberculatis, postice tuberculis parum elevatis instructis, apice 

 rotundatis. Long. 6 lin.

Allied to the preceding ; but, besides the colour (which to 

 the naked eye is dark ashy grey), the prothorax is longer and 

 narrower posteriorly, and the elytra have several little elevated, 

 transverse, slightly glossy patches. 



Oxyops meles. 



0. paulo angustior, fuscus, setulis albis omnino sejunctim adspersus ; 

 oculis minusculis ; rostro latitudine paulo longiore, antice haud 

 sulcato ; antennis ferrugineis, funiculo articulo secundo quam
