elevated, edge emarginate behind the anterior angle, and 

 conspicuously angulate well before the posterior angle, surface 

 deeply punctate, punctures anteriorly round, posteriorly oval 

 or somewhat elongate, 6-costate, two outer costae shortest and 

 parallel to the thoracic edge, the others are much elevated 

 and equidistant, the two median costee are a little the longest 

 and turn from each other at the base ; the elytra 6-costate, 

 with the outer margin and the two sutural edges also elevated, 

 1-3 costge are twice broken by two transverse depressions, 

 the third costa being very remarkable as the median portion 

 viewed sideways looks like a conspicuous nodule, the tifth 

 costa is the strongest, the sixth weakest, both the last com- 

 plete, the interstices are very clearly carinulate, with a single 

 row of equidistant punctures. The elytra are in part reddish. 

 The propygidium has three tubercles transversely placed in 

 the middle, the centre one somewhat linear ; the pygidium 

 closely punctate, with an elevation thus -^ in the middle; 

 the prosternum has large, deep, and closely-set punctures, 

 striate at the coxaj; the mesosternura bisinuous anteiuorly, 

 and with the metasternum has very large punctures or foveas 

 set somewhat in transverse lines, and on the median area of 

 the metasternum are two triangulate smooth spaces ; the first 

 segment of the abdomen has a line of seven foveas along the 

 anterior edge ; legs and antenna3 piceous.

Onthophilus sculpttlis, sp. n, 



Ovalis, convexiusculus, subaeneo-niger, parum nitidus ; fronte haud 

 costata ; elytris 3 carinis elevatis, interstitiis obscure punctato- 

 carinulis ; pygidio basi trausversim elevato. 



L. 2 mill. 



Oval, rather convex, little shining; the forehead is wholly 

 punctate, little uneven, slightly elevated behind the insertion 

 of the antenna3, not carinate or costate ; the thorax, nar- 

 rowly marginate, obtusely angulate before the base, 6-costate, 

 outer costa shortest, with a wide interstice between it and 

 the second, the second is shorter than the third but parallel 

 to it, the two centre costa^ reach the margin behind the neck, 

 and gradually turn inwards anteriorly, but do not meet, the 

 surface is punctured like that in O. tuberculatus ; the elytra 

 are 3-costate, with an intervening carina corresponding to 

 the second, fourth, and sixth strife ; below the shoulder is a 

 transverse depression which crosses the first costa to the 

 second carina (or fourth stria), tiie interstices are obscurely 

 carinulate with intervening punctures ; the propygidium
