on the sides in front, and slightly narrowed behind. Elytra bluisli 

 black, densely and rugosely punctate. Meso- and meta-thorax, 

 abdomen, and legs black, thighs red. 



700. — PseudoltchijS apicalis. n. sp. 



Length 4 lines. 

 Black, opaque. Antenna subpectinate. Head transverse. 

 Eyes prominent. Thorax of the width of the head, transverse, 

 and deeply impressed in the middle and sides. Elytra red with 

 the apical third black, very densely punctate and marked with 

 three or four slightly elevated longitudinal lines. Under surface 

 subnitid. 



The two following species were accidentally omitted in their 

 proper places. 



RHIPICERID^. 



701. — PsAcus Mastersit. n. sp. 



Length 2 lines. 

 Ovate, convex, black, subopaque, punctate, hairy, and marked 

 on the sides of the thorax and elytra with white pubescence. An- 

 tennae short, the flabellae short and thick. 



This species is smaller and more convex than Psacus atta- 

 genoides, Pascoe, and looks even more like some of the family of 

 Dermestidce than that species. 



* DASCILLID^. 



702. — Dascillus brevicornis. 

 Length 3| lines. 

 Brownish red, subnitid, punctate, and densely clothed with a 

 short yellow pubescence. Thorax transverse, of the width of the 

 head at the apex, a little broader behind, and emargiuate in the 

 middle of the base to fit the scutellum. Elytra scarcely broader 

 than the base of the thorax, and obsoletely striate, with the inter- 

 stices subelevated. Legs and abdomen red. Antennae shorter 

 and less filiform than usual in the genus.
