284 Mr. F. P. Pascoc on Addilious to 



A resemblance to Ma^dah's pruni, which, however, it sliares 

 to some extent with the last and following species, has sug- 

 gested the specific name. 



Lfp. mosacc us fu Iv h 'ostris. 



L. angustus, nigricans, subnitidus, rostro, antennis pedibusque 

 fulvis ; capite transverso ; oculLs baud approjcimatis ; rostro bre- 

 viusculo, cylindrico, tenuato, fere recto ; clava sat breviter ovata ; 

 prothorace panic convcxo, crebre punctato, utrinque fortiter rotun- 

 dato ; elytris striato-punctatis, interstitiis paulo convexis, trans- 

 versim granidatis ; femoribus muticis, tibiis anticis brevibus, valde 

 compressis ; tarsis articulo penultimo apice solo cmarginato, 

 articido ultimo unguieulisque minutis ; abdomine segmentis 

 duobus basalibus ampliatis, sutura prima obsoleta. Long, l^lin. 



Hah. Champion Bay. 



With L. cryptonyx this and the preceding species form a 

 group distinguished by their very small claw-joints and claws, 

 the former scarcely extending beyond the cleft of the third 

 joint, into which they are inserted. 



Tentegia. 



Rostrum modice robustum, parum arcuatum ; scrobes pra^mediana), 

 obliquse, ante oculos desinentes. Oculi rotuudati, grosse granu- 

 lati. Funiculus articulis duobus basalibus longioribus, a^qualibus, 

 caeteris in cla\am gradatim continuatis. ProtJiorax transversus, 

 rotnndatus, basi truncatus, apice paulo productus. Scutellum 

 nullum. Elytra ampliata, fere subglobosa, basi prothorace vix 

 latiora. Rima pectoralis pone coxas anticas terminata. Femora 

 linearia, mutica ; tibia; rectse, sxilcata?, apice mucronatai ; tarsi 

 articulo. tertio baud lobato ; ungidculis liberis. Processus inter- 

 coxalis latissimus, truncatus. Abdomen segmento basali valde 

 ampliato. 



An Acalles-ioxm., but with linear tarsi, the third joint not 

 being lobed, and with a broad truncated intercoxal process ; 

 from Poropterus and its allies it is differentiated, inter cdia, by 

 its semiglobose habit. Myrtesis, with a similar habit, has a 

 pectoral canal extending to the abdomen. 



Tentegia favosa. 



T. nigra, vix nitida, parcius subtiliter setulosa; capite prothoraceque 

 rude reticulato-pimctatis, punctis squamositate grisea fundo mu- 

 nitis ; rostro punctis in seriebus quatuor notato, interstitiis ele- 

 vatis ; antennis ferrugineis, sparse griseo-pubescentibus, clava 

 angusta, ovali ; prothorace antice paulo tubulato, utrinque fortiter 

 rotundato, lobis ocularibus cdiatis ; elytris foveato-suleatis, inter-
