similarly curved but shorter sub-apical tooth, and a small, vertical 
basal one. 
The facies of the only species which I propose to include in this 
genus closely resembles that of some species of Sparrmannia. It is 
very hairy on the prothorax and the pectus; the shape of the claws 
is exactly that of Schizonycha; but the epimera are somewhat 
broader and not carinate along the episterna. 
BERIQUA MODESTA, Nn. Spec. 
Male: Chestnut-red, moderately shining, head and _ prothorax 
clothed with long, light fulvous hairs, not sufficiently dense, how- 
ever, to hide the teguments; pectus and femora with similar hairs 
forming a very dense long pubescence ; clypeus glabrous, blunt in 
the anterior part and with the outer angles rounded, sides somewhat 
narrowed towards the apex, the margin is reflexed, and it is deeply 
but sparingly punctured in the anterior part and impunctate in the 
centre, the clypeal carina is sharp, transverse, the frontal part 
simple, deeply and somewhat closely punctured as far as the extreme 
basal part; prothorax convex, ampliated laterally on the median 
part, sinuate along the base but not along the anterior margin, and 
covered all over with equi-distant, deep, round punctures, and 
having a smooth raised median line in the posterior part of the disk; 
scutellum somewhat sharply ogival; elytra sinuate from the humeral 
to the median part and ampliated laterally thence, somewhat convex, 
without any costule or stria, not even a juxta-sutural one, and 
covered with deep, round punctures, each bearing a minute greyish 
hair in the manner of Schizonycha; propygidium and pygidium 
faintly aciculate ; abdomen convex, deeply and somewhat closely 
punctate laterally. 
I have seen only two examples of this species; in one of them (3g) 
the tooth under the claws is very short, hardly distinct, the claw 
itself being merely wider and only slightly incised where the tooth 
should be, in the other the tooth is conspicuous. 
Length 13 mm.; width 74 mm.

Mentum broad, transverse, slightly rounded laterally but sharply 
angular at the apex, ligular part much narrower than the mentum 
and separated by a very plain, slightly arcuate suture, deeply emar- 
ginate laterally and broadly and deeply incised in the anterior part,
