than the breadth, not broader than the head, and with all the 

 angles rounded. Elytra dark brown, and broader than the thorax. 

 Abdomen finely punctured and striolate. Legs, antennae, and 

 palpi, reddish brown. 



236. ScOPiEUS EOTUNDICOLLIS. n. Sp. 



Length 1| lines. 

 Pale brown, strongly and closely punctured and thinly clothed 

 with long hairs. Head large, flat, truncate behind, and with the 

 posterior angles rounded. Thorax a little longer than the breadth, 

 narrower than the head, much rounded on the sides, and rounded 

 and narrowed at the apex and base. Elytra broader than the 

 thorax, with the apical half of a reddish yellow. Abdomen black, 

 broad, rather short, with the fourth segment reddish. The legs, 

 antenna, and palpi, yellow. 



237. — Stimcus oyicollis. n. sp. 

 Length 1^ lines. 

 Pale red, nitid, smooth. Head square, truncate behind, and 

 joined to the thorax by a very slight neck. Thorax of an elongate 

 oval form, with a peduncular attachment to the body. Elytra 

 very little broader than the thorax, with the basal portions brown. 

 Abdomen with the first four segments brown. 



238. SUNIUS CYLINDRICUS. n. Sp. 



Length 2 lines. 



Head black, densely punctured, square, and truncate behind. 

 Thorax red, closely punctured, nai'rower than the head, and of a 

 short oval form. Elytra scarcely broader than the thorax, punc- 

 tate, and of a brownish black colour with the base and apex pale 

 red. Abdomen elongate, subcylindrical, a little widened towards 

 the apex, of a reddish colour, with the fifth and part of the sixth 

 segments black. 



This species seems to vary a good deal in colouring. The 

 thorax and abdomen have brown marks in one of the specimens 

 before me which are not to be traced in the other.
