COLEOPTEEA. 65 



The form, &c., of the elytral epipleurse and its fold is nearly identical with what obtains in 

 most of the species of Prosodes. The dentate anterior femora have their counterpart in the 

 genus Dila, which, however, is of so widely different a habit that one cannot institute even a 

 comparison between the two genera. The peculiar and exceptionally narrow, flattened, and 

 obsoletely faceted eyes are also found in the genus Dila. The emargination at the base of the 

 anterior tibise, and the abbreviated first joint of the hind tarsi, are the most exceptional 

 characters, and show certain affinities in the direction of the Scaurides. 



CCELOCNEMODES STOLICZKANTJS. 



Obscure brownish black : head uneven, coarsely, but not deeply, punctured, with smaller 

 punctures on the interspaces ; the punctuation finer and somewhat granulous behind and 

 confluent on the front : epistoma separated from the front by an impressed arched line : 

 labrum lightly punctate and, together with the palpi, rufescent : prothorax having a broad 

 transverse sinuate impression near the hind margin, and with two or three f oveated depressions 

 on the disc ; covered with small granules, the sides being confluently granulose punctate : 

 scutellum densely and minutely punctulate : elytra rather closely sub-seriately punctured, 

 fainly transversely rugulose, and granulose ; the suture a little thickened and smoother : 

 epipleural fold sparsely muricately punctured : flancs of prothorax coarsely undulately rugose : 

 abdomen punctured : prosternal process finely sulcate down the centre : legs moderately 

 muricately punctured.

Sub-Family PIMELIINM. 



TRIGONOSCELIS SETOSA. 



Black, sometimes a little nitid ; more or less broadly oblong-ovate : head strongly trans- 

 verse, remotely punctured, briefly setose: epistoma and labrum more strongly and closely 

 punctured ; the former short, gradually obliquely contracted to the front, which is broadly 

 emarginate and with the angles distinct ; the latter feebly sinuately rounded in front, and 

 densely ciliate with longish bright rufous hairs : prothorax transverse, quadrate, more or less 

 gently convex, sometimes depressed on the disc (immature individuals ?) ; median line dis- 

 tinct, or not ; apex truncated ; front angles small, but prominent, acute, directed forwards ; 

 base, which is scarcely wider than the apex, sinuate, strongly so at the middle ; hind angles 

 a little outwardly directed ; sides more or less feebly rounded before the middle, very feebly 

 sinuate before the front angles, more strongly so towards the base ; near the base is a more 

 or less distinct, broad, transverse, somewhat sinuate, impression ; granulous, the granules not 

 densely placed, especially on the disc, where they are also smaller; each granule furnished 

 with a short black seta; everywhere finely margined: scutellum small, almost petiolate, 

 generally pubescent, or covered by the hairs which fringe the lower edge of the prothorax : 

 elytra more or less depressed above, more or less broadly oval, widest before the middle, or 

 not, more or less gradually declivous behind ; the apex rather strongly produced, and (con- 

 jointly) somewhat narrowly rounded ; base wider than base of prothorax, appearing more or
