448 Description of a new Eurytrachelus. 



a small tuft of hair. The long fulvous hair at the apex 

 of the posterior tibiae forms a sort of brush ; that on 

 the posterior tarsi, which gives them such a peculiar 

 appearance, not only covers the under side, but borders 

 the apical margin of the upper side. 



Hob. Santa Anna Island, Soloman Islands. 



Two examples collected by H. B. Guppy, Esq., and 

 now presented to the British Museum. 



This species, having the four posterior tibiae not fur- 

 nished with a spine on the outer side, must be placed 

 near E. concolor, Blanch., and E. ternatensis, Thorns., 

 but it differs from both these in having the tarsi fringed 

 with long fulvous hair. Dr. Gestro has described and 

 figured another species, E. intermedins (Ann. Mus. Civ. 

 Stor. Nat. di Genova, xvi., p. 317), from New Guinea 

 and Kei Island, which has the same peculiarity in the 

 tarsi, but that species is described as blackish castaneous, 

 with a narrow deeply emarginate clypeus, and is repre- 

 sented as having much shorter elytra. 



In the British Museum collection there is a single 

 specimen from Duke of York Island, which differs from 

 E. pilosipes in the form of the head and mandibles, and 

 may possibly belong to a distinct species. I prefer, 

 however, to consider it at present a variety of E. inter- 

 medins. (PL XXL, fig. 2).
