384 COLEOPTERA. 
angular. Klytra almost double the length of thorax, depressed and of 
about the same width as it is at the base, rather narrower and more 
obviously marginate there than at the middle, gently narrowed posteriorly 
and almost entirely covering the pygidium; the suture is somewhat 
depressed, but there is no perceptible sculpture. 
Antennae stout, rather longer than the head and thorax, finely 
pubescent ; 2nd joint elongate, rather longer than the thicker, oblong Ist ; 
the next nearly twice as long as broad; 5th somewhat larger than either of 
the contiguous ones; 7th subquadrate, a little broader than 5th; 8th 
equally broad but very short; 10th quadrate, rather larger than 9th, the 
terminal subconical. 
Legs finely setose; tibiae straight inwardly, gradually expanded, 
obliquely narrowed outwardly near the extremity, the intermediate pair 
obtusely subangulate below the middle; front and middle tarsi with 
dilated basal joints, those of the former. pair cordiform and emarginate 
at apex, those of the latter broadly oblong, their 4th joints minute ; 
the posterior tarsi slender and elongate. 
Underside with yellow pubescence. Prosternum deeply emarginate. 
Abdomen more or less finely punctate, basal segment rather longer than 
the next, its apical suture somewhat obliterated in the middle, straight 
at the sides; 2nd with a spiniform process extending to the apex of 
the 3rd, 5th shghtly longer than 4th, 6th deeply emarginate. 
Fem.—Tibiae, tarsi, and 2nd ventral segment simple. 
I. concinnus (273) is broader, with somewhat differently formed 
antennae and tibiae, and the flat process of the 2nd segment is distinetly 
bisuleate. J. compactus (1907) is considerably larger, and represented by

by Mr. T. Hall amongst decaying leaves. 
3836. Inocatops granipennis sp. nov. 
Oblong-oval, moderately convex; head and thorax shining chestnut- 
red, antennae and legs paler, tarsi yellow, elytra subopaque and more 
infuseate than the thorax; pubescence yellow, ‘elongate. 
Somewhat similar to the female of I. spinifer, the space near the 
posterior angles of the thorax smaller, less flattened and prolonged 
backwards. Elytra almost elongate-cordate, a little wider before the 
middle than those of J. spinifer, distinctly rounded there, somewhat 
obliquely narrowed behind, the declivity longer and, when examined 
sideways, appearing flatter; disc nearly plane, the suture not depressed, 
their whole surface covered with small flattened granules, many of 
these have a ee ae central puncture.

paler, legs fulvescent or testaceous, tarsi and palpi yellow; thickly clothed
