518 COLEOPTERA. 



and fourth combined, lifth somicircularly emarginate, very short in the 

 middle ; sixth large, with a straight membranous median suture behind 

 (less definite in another example), seventh shorter, obtusely triangular, finely 

 marginate behind. 



This genus is nearly related to Eupinen and Raffray's Phijsa. The latter 

 name, unfortunately, as I informed M. Raffray, has long been preoccupied, 

 so that he may have substituted another. 



Eupinogitus can be easily separated by its oviform thorax, longer elytra, 

 and remarkably deep sutural and dorsal striae, 



4038. Eupinogitus sulcipennis sp. nov. 



Shining, finely and irregularly punctured ; usually castaneo-rnfous, with 

 ratlier paler antennae and legs, tarsi and palpi testaceous ; pubescence 

 yellow, distinct and subdepressed. 



Head quite as long as thorax, almost as broad in line with the eyes, the 

 foveae between these rather large, rotundate and finely pubescent ; it is 

 broadly impressed between the widely se])arated antennal tubercles. Thorax 

 widest near the middle, hardly at all longer than broad, lateral foveae large 

 and subrotundate. Elytra a third longer than thorax ; sutural striae 

 broad throughout, punctiform at the base, dorsal striae also deep but not 

 reaching the apices, near the oiitside of each of these there is a shallow 

 angular impression. Basal dorsal segment rather larger than second, with 

 a small median depression at its base, the others deflexed. 



Legs elongate, intermediate tibiae gently thickened in the male, truncate 

 at the extremity and somewhat angulate inwardly ; the posterior, in both 

 sexes, with slender terminal spines. 



Antennae as long as head and thorax, finely pubescent ; basal joint 

 stout, not double the length of the oblong second ; joints 3-7 elongate and 

 slender, differing but little, eighth shorter, nearly as long but not as broad 

 as the next, tenth still broader, subquadrate, eleventh large, subovate. 



Male. — Underside with distinct yellow pubescence. Basal ventral seg- 

 ment smooth, sixth witb a shallow median fovea, finely punctate behind, 

 seventh closel}-. 



Length, 2 mm. ; breadth, | mm. 



Staircase, southern end of the Remarkables ; 3,500 ft. Both sexes 

 obtained by Mr. T. Hall ; 15th March, 1914. 



E. picescens, var. cj. Body rufo-piceous, antennae infuscate, their fifth 

 joint quite definitely longer than the contiguous ones. Unique. 



Neosampa gen. nov. 



Body elongate, slightly convex. Head broader than thorax, subquad- 

 rate, broadly rounded behind, vertical in front, truncate between the almost 

 plane, widely distant, antennal tubercles. Eyes situated behind the middle, 

 moderately prominent. Thorax oviform, with a longitudinal sulcus, but 

 without any transverse stria to connect it with the subrotundate lateral 

 fovea*'. Elytra oblong, with distinct sutural striae and short intrahuineral 

 im])ressions. Hind-body composed of fine visible dorsal segments, and an 

 additional membranous one usually concealed beneath the elytra. 



Antennae 11, articulate in both sexes, half the entire length of the body, 

 moderately stout, their terminal three joints more distinctly pubescent than 

 the others and forming a narrow elongate club ; basal joint cylindric, 

 hardly twice as long as broad, the next smaller, longer than broad.
