agrees in having very coarsely granular eyes. Rostrum a 

 little broader than long, a very little narrowed at the base. 

 Eyes prominent, rather approximate above, especially in the 

 male. Thorax constricted in front, nearly parallel behind, 

 with four, round, slightly raised tumours above, with an 

 obtuse slightly prominent tubercle at the side. Elytra longer 

 than in A. sericea, but not so long as in L. rostratus, trun- 

 cate at the apex, the sutural angle scarcely dentiform ; each 

 elytron has a somewhat oblique, broad but scarcely raised 

 costa, nearly similar to that of A. sertcea, which is absent in 

 L. rostratus. The suture is narrowly incrassated, and very 

 clearly marked. The claw-joint of the male is extremely 

 narrow at the base, dilated at the apex.

Logisticus angustatus, n. sp. 



Elongatus, angustus, nigro-fuscus, subtiliter pilosus ; rostro elon- 

 gato ; elytris brunneis, haud costatis, apice truncato, baud emar- 

 ginato. 



Long. 8-10 lin. 



Very close to L. rostratus, W., but smaller and with more 

 decidedly brown elytra. The rostrum is a little narrower ; 

 the eyes are large and prominent, very coarsely granular, 

 very approximate above, almost contiguous above and below 

 in the male. Thorax evenly convex, with four scarcely 

 noticeable dorsal tumours ; constricted in front, with a small 

 obtuse tubercle at the side. Elytra very elongate, gently and 

 evenly convex, without costee, narrowed towards the apex, 

 which is slightly truncate, the angles of the truncature not 

 prominent. Claw -joint of the male much dilated at the 

 apex.

Logisticus simplex, n. sp. 



Fuscus, subtiliter griseo-pubesccns ; rostro vix breviore quam latiore ; 



elytris leviter covexis, haud costatis, apice baud truncato. tf . 

 Long. 6 lin. 



Very like L. angustatus, but not quite so elongate. The 

 rostrum is shorter and broader, scarcely as long as broad. 

 The eyes are prominent and coarsely granular, moderately 

 approximate above, a little more separate below. Elytra 

 brown, evenly convex, not much narrowed posteriorly ; the 

 apex of each elytron slightly rounded.
