" nearly three times as long as wide ;" in the present species the- 

 elytra are much less than twice as long as wide. The elytral 

 puncturation resembles that of C. fastuosus, Germ., but is coarser 

 and sub-asperate with the seriate punctures more evidently 

 larger than the punctures of the interstices. The prothorax, 

 however, is that of the aggregate "E" (on p, 56) while that of 

 fastuosus is of the aggregate " EEE" (on page 61).

PSEUDOLYCUS. 



P. torridus, sp. no v. (Mas.) Elongatus, sat angustus ; dense 

 pubescens ; ater, prothorace medio et elytris rufis, anten- 

 narum basi palpisque picescentibus ; capite crebre subtilis- 

 sime punctulato, antice fortiter elongato ; antennarum 

 articulis 3° — 10'' dilatatis (3° 4° que inter se sat aequalibus, 

 5° quam 4'^* pauUo breviori vix angustiori, 5° — 10° gradatim 

 angustioribus, 4' quam lO*"' plus quam duplo latiori ; pro- 

 thorace subcylindrico, supra subtilissime punctulato, inde- 

 terminate ina^quali (certo adspectu prope angulos omnes 

 tumido), lateribus manifeste arcuatis ; elytris fortiter 4-cos- 

 tatis. Long., 41 1.; lat., 14. 1. (vix). 

 A very distinct species. In my tabulation of the genus (Tr. 

 R. Soc, S.A., 1899, p. 85) it falls at the end, thus,— 

 AAA. Pronotum not having a median ridge that becomes 

 bifid in its hinder part. Joints 3 — 11 of the 

 antenniL^ entirely black .. ... ... ^orWd?i.s, Black b. 



Apart from color this species differs from those (previously 

 described) not having on their pronotum a central ridge diverging 

 hindward in two branches in its hind part, inter alia by the 

 much stronger costae of its elytra.

EUTHYPHASIS. 



M funerea, sp. nov. Picea, pube fusco-cinerea (hac notulis 

 pallide cinereis et nigris variegata) dense vestita, antennis 

 pedibusque obscure ferrugineis, corpore subtus ferrugineo (in 

 sternis obscuriori) ; rostro quam latiori fere duplo longiori, 

 sat depresso ; prothorace quam latior multo longiori, antice 

 subtubuliforrai ; hoc cum capite confertim subrugulose sub- 

 tilius punctulato; elytris punctulato-striatis, ad apicem 

 modice producto-elongatis, interstitiis nonnuUis leviter 

 costiformibus. Long., 3f 1.; lat., \ 1. 

 The black pubescence forms a quadrate patch on each elytron 



placed somewhat obliquely and considerably behind the middle. 



The pubescence of lightest color is on the sides of the pronotum
