Species of Scw-Zfula ltd Coleoptera. (»'.) 



Anion, j;cii. nov. 



Budy subcyliiulrio, small, minutely squamosc. 

 liostrum nearly as loiij; as thorax, arcuate, sli^litly dilated 

 in front. Scr<j/)cs deep, l)e;,Miiiiiu{;^ near ajiex, ohliqiu', eoii- 

 verj^ent undi-nieatli. Kt/es transversely oval, situated at the 

 sides of the head elose to the thorax, widely separated above, 

 depressed. Scape stout, attaining? the eye, tiexuous, gradually 

 inerassate. Funiculus 7-artieulate, basal joint as thick as 

 the scape ; joints 5-7 obconieal, transverse, seventli largest. 

 Club oval, not distinctly articulate. Thorax slightly con- 

 stneted in front, base widely bisinuate, without well-marked 

 ocidar lobes. Sculellum minute. Elytra rather short, sub- 

 cylindrical, rathir wider than thorax at the base, simply 

 rounded apically. Ftmura proportionally large and thick. 

 Tibia also thick, flexuous, external terminal hook stout, the 

 inner calear also well developed. Tarsi pubescent under- 

 neath, very broad and short, penultimate joint with short 

 lobes, the terminal remarkably small, with small claws. 



Prusternum deeply incurved in front. Anterior cox(E 

 large, contiguous; the intermediate slightly separated, poste- 

 rior w idely. Metastemum short. Abdomen of only moderate 

 length, second segment not quite so large as the firsts the 

 suture sinuate, third and fourth al)breviat(.d. 



The only exponent of this genus is chiefly remarkable on 

 account of the subeylindrie outline, obtusely rounded elytral 

 apex, broad tarsi, with their setose surface, the relatively 

 thick legs, and deeply eraarginate prosternum, all being 

 characters which distinguish it from its congeners. 



Athor arcifera, sp. n. 



Opaque, variegate ; fuscous, the legs and hind body some- 

 times a little rufeseent behind and at the sides ; tarsi and 

 antennaj dark red, club piceous ; the flattened squamtc arc 

 not easily seen and appear to be absent from the thoracic 

 disk, but on the elytra pallid scales extend as far as the hind 

 tliiglis and form a sort of arch I'lora one shoulder to the 

 other; the greater i)ortion of the hind body is sometimes of 

 a light chocolate hue ; on the rostrum and siiies of the thorax 

 the squamosity is grey. 



Rostrum apparently coarsely punctate. Thorax of nearly 

 equal length and breadth, a little rounded laterally, evidently 

 narrower in front than behind ; coarsely, closely, and almost 

 rugosely punctured. Elytra deeply suleate, their punctures
