punctures, the antcnnal tubercles and a triangular space whoso 

 Jjase corresponds to the anterior margin completely smooth and 

 shining. Antemiae with the first two joints stout, fusco-testaceous, 

 the rest very slender, all longer than broad and pale testaceous. 

 Thorax a little wider than the head, transverse, widest at the junc- 

 tion of the 1st and 2nd fourths, the sides gradually rounded both 

 anteriorly and posteriorly, but more strongly posteriorly and 

 passing insensibly into the base; disc with a short, raised, shining 

 keel before the scutellum and slightly impressed on either side of 

 this; puncturation less coarse, but much closer than that of the 

 head, scarcely umbilicato. Scutellum with five or six moderately 

 large punctures. Elytra a little narrower, but about as long as the 

 thorax, scarcely transverse, the puncturation of about the density 

 and size of that on the thorax but somewhat rugulose; pubescence 

 grey, rather long and sparing. Abdomen moderately finely and 

 moderately closely punctured on tlie first three segments, rather 

 more sparingly behind; p\ibescence long and grey.

On page 70 of these Transactions for 1918, a species 

 jianied PinopJiilus nolabilis is described ; further examina- 

 tion of this insect shows that a new genus must be formed 

 for it, as although evidently closely allied to PinophihiSj 

 it differs in certain details of structure.

Labrum transverse, the anterior margin broadly rounded with 

 a deep moderately broad excision in the middle. Mandibles long, 

 slender, curved, near the base of cacli furnished with a sharp tooth. 

 Maxillary palpi 4-jointe<l, the 1st joint small, obconical, the 2nd 

 elongate, slightly thickened towards tlic apex, the 3rd shorter than 

 the 2nd, narrower at the base, widened towards the apex, sub- 

 triangular, the 4th fusiform, almost securiform, its outer aspect 

 deeply silicate throughout its length, longer than the 3rd. Inner 

 lobe of the maxilla broad, truncate, the apical border densely but 

 rather shoitly ciliate; outer lobe membranous, narrower than the 

 imrer and a little longer, the apex and outer border densely covered 

 with long cilia. The tongue broad, very similar to that of Palaminus, 

 but completely bilobed, tlie broadly rouiided antero-internal aspect 

 of each lobe densely ciliate. Paraglossae prominent, not extending
