but complete; tlie thorax, the lateral stria is feebly slnuou? 

 and hamate at the basal angle, anteriorly it continues behind 

 the head, but is obscurely broken behind the eyes, laterally 

 the thorax is distinctly punctulate ; the elytra, the humeral 

 strife are wanting, dorsal 1-3 complete, 4-5 apical and very 

 short and partly punctiform ; the propygidiura is impressed 

 on either side and its punctures are irregular in size and 

 placement ; the pygidium is less distinctly impressed on each 

 side, but the punctuation is more regular, there is no raised 

 rim ; the prosternum, keel is without stria? ; the mesosternum 

 is marginate and widely sinuous ; the anterior tibise are 

 4-dentate. 



This species, with P. rimarium, Er., and F. novum, Lew., 

 belong to an Indian section of the genus in which the thorax 

 is punctured laterally. P. riince is distinctly less broad than 

 P. rimarium.

Cylistosoma epillssum^ sp. n. 



Cylindricum, parum elongatum, nigrum, nitidum : fronte excavata, 

 stria late interrupta ; pronoto stria marginali Integra ; elytris striis 

 brevissimis, suturah evanescent! ; tibiis auticis 4-5-spinosis. 



L. 3 mill. 



Cylindrical, somewhat elongate, black and shining; the 

 head, forehead, and clypeus are excavated and the lateral 

 stria ceases at the edge of the excavation, the surface has a 

 few fine punctures and a few large ones irregularly mingled 

 together ; the thorax, marginal stria is complete and some- 

 what carinate at the base, the surface is punctured like the 

 head, and there is a fine antescutellar puncture a little distant 

 from the edge; the scutellum is narrow, elongate, and trian- 

 gular ; the elytra, outer humeral stria is interrupted in the 

 middle, inner very short, rather deep, and basal, the first 

 dorsal is basal and nearly dimidiate, 2-3 are represented by 

 two punctures at the base, the sutural stria is apical, very 

 faint, and composed of fine points, which cease near the 

 middle of the dorsum ; the pygidia have fine and large 

 scattered points ; the prosternum is bistriate ; the meso- 

 sternum is widely sinuous, not margined anteriorly, but 

 laterally there is a well-marked stria; the metasternum is 

 canaliculate ; the tibiae are all 4-5-spinose. 



There are two species in the Museum of Paris similar to 

 the above in structure and sculpture ; one of them is coloured 

 above like a species of Pachycrcerus and the other is some- 

 what metallic.
