Ej)iechinus hirmanus, sp. n. 



Suborbicularis, uiger, opacus, hispidus ; prostemo utrinque cari- 

 nato ; mesosterno metasternoque in medio foveolatis. 0. arboreo 

 simillimus, sed magis ovatus. 



L. 1| miU. 



Suborbicular, opaque, setose; the head rugose, and ^s•hen 

 abraded of scales and setee an obsolete median and two lateral 

 carinse may be seen ; the thorax has two lateral sulci on each 

 side, and when cleaned, large scattered punctures are visible 

 on the disk ; the elytra are costate, with rows of large punc- 

 tures in the interstices ; the prosternum is bicarinate, the 

 border formed of the carinse joins in front, where the inner 

 edge of the carina is arcuate, the outer truncate, the anterior 

 lobe has scattered punctures, punctures smaller than in E. 

 taprohanoi ; the mesosternum has a round median fovea and 

 on each side of it a many-sided depression ; tiie metasternum 

 has also a median fovea, but it is oval, and in front of it on 

 either side, obliquely placed, are two depressions of some- 

 what corresponding size and shape ; the pygidium is punctate 

 and rugose. 



The specimens which represent this species have been 

 referred to in the Ann. Mus. Civ. Geneva, 1888, ser. 2, vi. 

 p. 645, as Onfhophilus hispidus, Payk., but it is now evident 

 to me that it is not PaykulPs species.

L. 1 mill. 



Oval, globose, reddish brown, shining, head darker, an- 

 tennae and legs paler; the forehead sparsely punctured ; the 

 thorax and elytra evenly punctured, punctures shallow and 

 not very thickly set, thoracic marginal stria complete, but 

 very fine behind the neck ; the propygidium and the py- 

 gidium are feebly and indistinctly punctuhite ; the prosternuui 

 a little wider than long, feebly and obscurely punctured, 

 lateral stria3 slightly widen out from the base, tiie base very 

 feebly sinuous ; the mcso- and metasterna and the first seg- 

 ment of the abdomen is evenly but not thickly covered with 

 somewhat large and shallow punctures, the punctures being 

 largest and most closely set at the widest part of the meta- 

 sternum.
