ATYS INFANS, 0. spec., 
; Plate LI., fig. 62. 
Testaceous-red, with the elytra a little lighter, each puncture on 
the upper side bearing an extremely minute hair; head somewhat 
small, clypeus blunt, slightly sinuate, clypeal carina moderately 
arcuate, suture distinct, basal carina plain, slightly arcuate, clypeus 
with contiguous foveate punctures, frontal part closely scrobiculate, 
the narrow intervals scabrose ; club of antenne long in the male; 
prothorax amplhated laterally at about the median part, attenuated 
thence towards the sharp basal angle, serrate only along the anterior 
part of the outer margins, covered with equally distant, round 
punctures separated by narrow, smooth intervals, somewhat raised, 
however, in the discoidal part which has a more or less distinct, 
median, smooth line, these punctures are very little broader in the 
posterior than in the anterior part; scutellum with a lateral row of 
punctures ; elytra elongated, slightly ampliated laterally before the 
median part, covered with closely set round punctures divided by a 
narrow interval not half their diameter, but nearly equal to it, 
however, in the posterior part, and very slightly raised, especially 
along the juxta-sutural part, which is on that account slightly 
coriaceous ; pygidium foveato-punctate, the punctures set more or 
less apart, the distance varying in each of the six male individuals 
which I have examined ; median part of abdomen slightly depressed 
and with very few punctures on each segment, including the 
penultimate one which is broader than the antepenultimate, last 
one very narrow ; transverse, plane; pectus with very short, 
appressed hairs; upper tooth of all the claws more slender and 
shorter than the lower.

ATYS STRAMINEA, N. spec. 
This species, the female only of which is known to me, greatly 
resembles A. hybrida in shape and size, the clypeus, however, is 
much more blunt and plainly sinuate in the middle in front; the 
punctures on the prothorax are almost confluent on the sides and 
in the anterior part, and the smooth interspaces of the discoidal
