Mas. Cinereus; caput postice multicarinatum, antice brevi-conicum 

 mar gina turn ; antenna lanceolate?, prolhorace longiores ; prothorax 

 tuberculatus, crista apud medium subexcavata apicem versus serrata,

 lanceolate, longer than the prothorax. Prothorax tuberculated ; crest 

 slightly concave in the middle part, serrated towards the tip ; an elongated 

 blackish patch on each side, bordered exteriorly by a pale cinereous line ; 

 hind part acute, much elongated. Hind femora armed with spines above ;

6. PAMPHAGUS SORDIDUS. 



Mas. Piceus ; caput et prothorax scabra ; caput antice acutum margi- 

 natum; antenna sublanceolatae ; prothorax utrinque foveolatus, 

 crista rotundata non incisa, margine postico attenuate acuto ; pro- 

 sternum dente crassa obtusa ; femora postica supra spinosa. 



Male. Piceous. Head and prothorax scabrous. Head above flat, 

 with an elevated border which is rounded behind and forms an acute angle 

 in front, where it is continued in the two approximate keels which diverge 

 much towards the mouth. Eyes tawny, elliptical, transverse, prominent. 

 Antenna3 flat, slightly tapering, much shorter than the crest of the pro- 

 thorax. Prothorax with some large shallow excavations on each side ; 

 crest rounded, smooth, continuous; hind part acute, much elongated. 

 Prosternum with an obtuse and very thick tooth. Hind femora armed with 

 stout spines above, disk on the outer side tessellated with ridges ; hind 

 tibia3 with two equal rows of stout testaceous spines, which are piceous 

 towards the base and black at the tips. Wings rudimentary. Length of 

 the body 20 lines. 



The specimen described is not fully developed ; it differs widely from 

 the two preceding species in the shape of the crest.
