Xestipyge Fryi^ sp. n. 



Ovata, convexa, nigra, nitida ; fronte diatincte punctata ; elytris 

 striis l*-4'" integris, S^-G" brevibus ; pygidio utrinqiie profunde 

 foveolato. 



L. 2A miU. 



Oval, convex, black and sinning ; the head striate over the 

 eyes only, sparsely punctate, punctures round and each one 

 distinct ; the thorax smooth on the disk, with a broad margin 

 of very distinct punctures at the sides, at the base there are 

 two large, shallow, scutellar punctures close to each other and 

 five or eight smaller and deeper punctures set along the basal 

 edge ; the elytra, striae 1-4 complete, 5-6 apical, but passing 

 beyond the dorsal centre and punctiform at the ends, 4-6 

 being somewhat crenulate ; the j)ropygidium is transversely 

 rather thickly punctured ; the pygidium is smooth in the 

 median area, with two large and deep fovea?, one on each side 

 at the base, apex with a few large punctures; the prosternura, 

 the keel is broad and rather short, with well-marked lateral 

 striae, feebly sinuous near the coxae, hamate in front ; the 

 mesosternum feebly emarginate, marginal stria complete, 

 obsoletely crenulate, transverse stria slightly bent in the 

 middle, with eight or nine crenulations, and continuing along 

 the sides of the metasternum ; the first segment of the abdo- 

 men has large punctures posteriorly and at the sides ; the 

 anterior tibiae are 3-4-dentate. 



This species is the most remarkable in this series. It is 

 congeneric with Homalister ornatus, Reitter, 1880, and it is 

 doubtful whether Xestipyge was sufiiciently characterized by 

 Marseul to be given precedence; otherwise it has some years' 

 priority.
