shoulders, where it is broad and prominent ; the basal portion 

 is scooped out not very strongly, and the shoulders are well 

 marked. A sparing and very fine puncturation (not noticeable 

 without a lens) is rather evenly distributed over the entire 

 surface o£ the elytra, in addition to which there is a system of 

 coarse (but not large) shallow punctures distributed, with 

 little order, near the suture and external margin, but forming 

 fairly regular . rows on the disc — about 50 punctures in each 

 row. On each elytron a single, large, deep puncture or fovea 

 is placed about one-third of the length of the elytron from 

 the apex, and about a third of the width of the same from the 

 suture. 



The fore tibiae have three small teeth above the two large 

 ones. 



In general build this insect must resemble E. anr/ulatus, 

 Macl. (which I have not seen), but, infer alia, its thorax is 

 totally different. The two large punctures on the elytra dis- 

 tinguish it from all the described species, except hipunctatus^ 

 Macl., and obesus, Macl. From these its narrower form and 

 more strongly lobed thorax, as well as the peculiar punctura- 

 tion of the elytra readily distinguish it,

 EuEYscAPHUS suBSiiLCATrs, sp. nov. Niger, nitidus, capite 

 inter oculos f oveis duabus prof undis arcuatis instruct© ; 

 prothorace basi subtruncato, angulis posticis reflexis ;

 The head is of the form and sculpture usual in the genus ; 

 there does not, however, seem to be any noticeable puncturation 

 close to the eyes. The thorax is just twice as wide as long, 

 considerably emarginate in front, not much rounded on the 

 sides, but very much so near the posterior angles, which are 

 almost vertical, and somewhat dentiform. The base is sub- 

 truncate, being very slightly and widely lobed. The peculiar 

 form of the posterior part of the thorax effects that the base, 

 when viewed directly from above, appears to have its angles 

 almost effaced, and to be gently sinuate, while viewed horizon- 

 tally from the front the angles appear very sharp, and the base 

 absolutely truncate. The thorax has a strong discal channel 

 not reaching the front, and some obscure puncturation near 

 the anterior margin ; otherwise its surface has no noticeable 

 sculpture, but is very inconspicuously and irregularly wrinkled 

 or punctured ; its re'flexed margin is broad and strong. 



The elytra together are just a little longer than wide, 

 strongly convex, moderately rounded on the sides, with the 

 shoulders little prominent, and with the reflexed margin nar-
