transverse groove ; eyes deeply emarginate, with narrow upper 

 and broad lower lobe. Antennae about one-third longer than the 

 body in the $ and still longer in the d 1 ; first joint stout, extended 

 a little past the front margin of the prothorax, rounded at the 

 apex ; third nearly twice as long as the first ; third to fifth sub- 

 equal in length, slightly flattened above in the d* ; sixth to tenth 

 successively shorter and narrower, eleventh a little longer than 

 the tenth, none of the joints angulated at the apex. Prothorax 

 slightlv transverse, rounded at the sides, narrowed a little more 

 towards the base than in front. Elytra long, nearly parallel-sided, 

 narrowed and slightly subtruucate at the apex. Legs moderately 

 long, the posterior two pairs subequal in length, the front pair 

 shorter ; femora elongate-fusiform, not pedunculate, slightly com- 

 pressed; first joint of middle and hind tarsi longer than the second 

 and third united. Front coxae globular, prominent, with their 

 acetabula produced in a short angle on the outer side ; the inter- 

 coxal process narrow but completely separating the coxae ; 

 intercoxale of mesosternum moderately broad, gradually narrowed 

 posteriorly and broadly canaliculate along the middle. 



D8. (Emospila maculipennis, sp. n. 



Dark brown, densely covered above with greyish tawny pubes- 

 cence, but with a number o nude, dark brown, subnitid spots on 

 the elytra, these spots irregular in form and not arranged in 

 any definite order; body beneath, legs and antennae densely 

 covered with greyish pubescence. Prothorax of d" relatively 

 larger than in the $ , widest a little behind the middle, the disc 

 with a very short median carina near the front margin and a 

 short oblique carina on each side on the posterior half ; prothorax 

 of $ widest at the middle, or a little before the middle, not 

 carinate above on each side, but with traces of a slight median 

 carina. Elytra rather thickly punctured, the punctures appearing 

 larger and more densely placed on the glabrous dark brown spots.
