6Q Major T. Broun on neio Genera and 



near the hind thighs, of the same width as thorax at the 

 base ; the scutellar region is depressed ; they are without 

 stria? or serial punctures ; the squaraosity is irregularly 

 distributed and forms a series of small patches across the 

 top of the posterior declivity, another just below it, and a 

 pair before the middle of the disk, but nearer the sides than 

 they are to the suture ; none of these, however, are sharply 

 defined. Legs stout, tibiae a little flexuous but not distinctly 

 muci'onate. 



Underside opaque, fuscous, wdth fine, decumbent, brassy 

 setse. Prosternum deeply incurved in front ; anterior coxae 

 medially contiguous. Second ventral segment in the middle 

 rather longer than the basal, with oblique lateral sutures, 

 third and fourth very short, the terminal medially bi- 

 impressed at the apex. Funiculus very slightly thickened 

 toAvards the extremity, seventh joint larger than the pre- 

 ceding one ; club distinctly pubescent ; scape flexuous, 

 clavate at apex. 



This species may be readily identified by the absence of 

 the usual serial punctures and striae o£ the elytra. 



Length (rost. inch) 2; breadth | line. 



Otira Gorge. A single specimen found by Mr. J. H. 

 Lewis. 



BradypatcB dilaticollis, sp. n. 



Opaque, fuscous ; legs f usco-rufous ; the rostrum, antennae, 

 and tarsi red ; unevenly clad with yellow squamiform setse. 



Rostrum arched, the frontal dilated portion with linear 

 sculpture, the basal portion not distinctly ridged, but convex 

 along the middle. Thorax rather broader than long, a good 

 deal dilated medially at the sides ; the surface uneven, its 

 punctuation concealed by the depressed yellow scales, base 

 and apex truncate. Elytra subovate, broadest near the 

 middle, scarcely broader than thorax at the base ; scutellar 

 depression bordered at each side by a short elevation ] there 

 are no striae or series of punctures visible on the dorsum, 

 but on a denuded spot on the top of the hind declivity the 

 suture appears smooth and convex, with a fine stria at each 

 side of it ; there are about a dozen more or less distinct 

 squamose nodosities, and some minute tubercles or granular 

 elevations above. 



Tibice moderately mucronate and bearing coarse yellow 

 setae or scales. Scape flexuous, moderately clavate at the 

 extremity, nearly glabrous. Funiculus sparingly pilose, first
