head nearly flat anteriorly ; antennae ferruginous, scarcely half the 

 length of the prothorax ; the latter ^\dth a strongly marked margin 

 at the sides, the granides giving it a serrated appearance at the edge ; 

 scutellum triangular, deeply sunk beneath the base of the prothorax ; 

 elytra with four prominent granular lines, more or less interrupted, 

 on each, the lines towards the apex gradually disappearing, the 

 inter\"als with smaller granules ; epipleurse roughly granulose ; body 

 beneath black, the abdomen glossy; legs closely punctured, clothed 

 with a thin feri'uginous pubescence ; teeth on the fore tibiae strongly 

 produced, especially the apical. Length 5^ lines. 



Emeax [Scaurinae]. 

 Caput subelongatum, collo incrassato. Oeidi transversi, liberi. Palpi 

 subcylindrici. Manclihulce bifidae. Menttmi transversum, antice et 

 lateribus rotundatum. Antetmoi sublineares, art. secimdo brevi, tertio 

 breviore quam quartus, cseteris brevioribus et obconicis, ultimo minore 

 quam prsecedens. ProtJiorax subtransversus, apice et basi trimcatus, 

 lateribus rotundatis et fortiter carinatis, angulis posticis acutis. Elytra 

 prothorace vix latiora, oblonga, lateribus leviter rotundatis. Pedes 

 mediocres ; tihm subtrigonatse, bicalcaratse ; tarsi postici art. primo 

 subelongato. Prosterniim productum. Mesosternum elongatum, de- 

 clive. Processus interfemoralis quadratus, apice late angulatus. 



In the form of the head, the mentum entirely covering the max- 

 illae, leaving a little only of the lower lip visible, the small terminal 

 joint of the antennae, and the large intermediate acetabula, this genus 

 approaches some of the Scaurinae, and particularly in habit Psamme- 

 tichus, Latr. I am not quite sure, however, that a better place may 

 not be found for it eventually. 



Emeax sculpturatus. (PI. XIX. fig. 7.) 

 E. niger, opacus; capite prothoraceque rugoso-punctatis, illo in medio 



cristato ; elytris grosse tuberculato-lineatis.

Black, opake ; head coarsely and closely, the neck finely punc- 

 tured, between the eyes a prominent tuberculiform crest; prothorax 

 closely and roughly punctured, on the disk two large foveae, the lateral 

 carina crenate ; scutellum depressed, triangular ; elytra narrowed at the 

 base, the shoulders rounded, each with eight lines of large oblong 

 tubercles, in the interval lines of smaller tubercles ; body beneath and 

 legs dull blackish brown, closely punctured. Length 7 lines.
