142 Major T. Broun on new Genera and 



nostrum closely and rngosely punctate in front, with 

 fewer punctures and a few scales behind ; it is dull black. 

 Antenna with greyish hairs, the club densely pubescent. 

 Thorax as long as it is broad, its sides nearly straight behind, 

 distinctly but not abruptly narrowed anteriorly ; disk nearly 

 plane, with an elongate impuuctate space along the middle ; 

 tawny scales form a central streak at the base, its apex is 

 not crested, but appears cleft at the middle ; along the centre 

 it is of a sooty colour ; along the sides some short, erect, 

 coarse setae are mingled with the tawny scales ; its punctua- 

 tion is concealed. Elytra suboblong, nearly vertical, and 

 much narrowed behind ; along the middle of the dorsum it 

 is dull black, with very few minute, rounded, flattened, 

 tawny scales ; on each side of the suture there are two series 

 of coarse, almost foveiform, distant punctures, the sides are 

 foveate, with squamose elevated intervals, so as to seem 

 tuberculate ; there are four dark squamose elevations on 

 top of the posterior declivity ; the third interstices are more 

 or less irregularly elevated and blackish, and the apex bears 

 several small nodosities and punctiires. 



Underside dull black, covered with pale brown or greyish 

 scales, so that no punctures are visible. 



Length (rost. excl.) 3|-44 ; breadth If-S^ lines. 



Broken River. I am indebted to Mr. J. H, Lewis for ray 

 pair of specimens. 



Clypeolus, gen. nov. 



Bostrum as long as thorax, very gradually narrowed back- 

 wards, the nearly smooth, subcordate, clypeal portion well 

 delineated. Mandibles not porreet, vertical in front. Scrobes 

 deep, quite lateral, extending from behind the middle to the 

 front of the eyes. Scape flexuous, slender, very gradually 

 incrassate, rather short, attaining the front of the eye.

 the elongate basal one, third longer than fourth ; seventh 

 moniliform, rather broader than sixth. Club ovate, acumi- 

 nate, triarticulate. Head moderately broad. Eyes widely 

 separated above,, quite lateral, subcuneiform, acuminate in 

 front, y/iora.v bisinuate at base, abruptly contracted ante- 

 riorly, with feeble ocular lobes. Scutellum sunken or absent. 

 Elytra of same width as thorax at base, much narrowed and 

 nearly vertical behind. Femora long and thick, medi lly 

 dentate, grooved near the extremity. Tibia flexuous, with 

 robust apical spurs. Tarsi slender, finely setose underneath,
