tarsi. In facies it has a slight resemblance to certain Amyc- 

 terinffi — ^driodes for example. 



Dinichus terreus. (PI. XI. fig. 7.) 



D. oblongo-ovatus, squamositate fusca tectus ; prothorace elytrisque 

 tuberculatis, hoc apice bifido ; tibiis rugosis. Loug. 5 lin. 



Hah. Tasmania. 



Oblong ovate, closely covered by a dark brown squamosity ; 

 rostrum moderately slender, coarsely punctured ; scrobes 

 beginning at a third part from the apex, straight along the 

 side, and ending at the lower margin of the eye ; antennas 

 ferruginous, slender; scape clavatc; two basal joints of the 

 funicle equal in length, the rest moniliform ; prothorax longer 

 than broad, a tubercle on eacli side anteriorly and two on the 

 disk ; elytra about three times as long as the prothorax, each 

 with three or four lines of small narrow tubercles and two 

 larger ones posteriorly ; body beneath minutely granulate ; 

 legs clothed with coarse greyish hairs. 



EXARCUS. 



Oculi rotundati, gross© granulati. Kostrum cjlindricum, arcuatuni ; 

 scrohes margine inferioro oculi torminatc'B. Antennce praemedianae ; 

 funicuhis gradatim crassior, articulo ultimo discrete. Protliorax 

 utrinque rotundatus, lobia ocularibus vix produetis. Scutellum 

 distinctura. Elytra elongata, prothorace paulo latiora. Abdo- 

 men segmcntis duobua basalibus valde ampliatis. Pedes brevius- 

 culi ; femora mutica ; tibice intus versus apicem spinosae ; tarsi 

 articulo peuultimo lato bilobo ; unguicidis divisis. 



In Amalactus the scrobes are confluent beneath and the 

 tibiae are of the normal form ; the small claw-joint and its 

 parallel claws are among the generic characters given by 

 Lacordaire, but are of the usual size in this genus. The 

 specimen described below has been a long time in my collec- 

 tion, and is interesting as being, so far as I know, the only 

 Asiatic representative of the group. I have named it after the 

 late General Sir John Hearsey, whose energy in the Indian 

 mutiny saved Calcutta from the fate of Cawnpore — a diligent 

 collector of Coleoptera, one of the few English officers who 

 have taken any interest in that part of the Indian fauna, of 

 which we know so little. 



Exarcus Hearseyi. 



E. anguste oblongus, nitide ferruginous ; prothorace longitudine 

 baud latiore, subtiliter punctato ; elytris striato-punctatis, punctis 

 approximatis. Long. 5 lin.
