EUGNAMPTUS Sch. 



The species of this genus are more slender in form than the other mem- 

 bers of the family, and the legs are longer and more feeble. According to 

 the punctuation of the head, prothorax and elytra, the species may be 

 readily recognized : 



Elytral interspaces very narrow 1. striatus. 



" " wider than the striae. 



Front not channeled. 



Head feebly punctured, narrowed behind. 2. angustatus. 



not " " 3. collaris. 



" more strongly punctured, antennae stouter.. . 4. puncticeps. 

 Front distinctly channeled 5. sulcifrons. 



1. Eu. striatus, n. sp.
