152 I\Iajor T. Broun on neio Genera and 



in front. Femora long and stout^ grooved and angulate, and 

 medially dentiform underneath. Tibia rather short, Avith 

 stout terminal hooks. Tarsi setose below, penultimate joint 

 only moderately dilated and lobed. 



Pectoral canal extends to just behind the middle coxae, 

 limited by elevated borders. Metasteryivm very short, so 

 that the posterior coxae almost touch the intermediate. 

 Basal ventral segment twice the length of the second, the 

 suture between them medially angulate; third and fourth 

 moderately short. 



The principal distinguishing characters are the unusually 

 short basal joint of the funiculus, the constriction at the 

 base of the rostrum, the overlapped humeral angles, and 

 dentate femora. 



To7'ilus griseicollis , sp. n. 



Convex, subovate, opaque, piceous ; rostrum pitchy red, 

 antennae and tarsi ferrngineous ; thorax covered with 

 yellowish-grey scales, the elytra with dark variegated 

 squamae. 



Rostrvm slightly longitudinally rugose and punctate, with 

 pale brown scales at its base. Club pubescent, similar to 

 the funiculus in colour. Thorax a third broader than long, 

 its frontal half much, but not very abrviptly, contracted, its 

 extreme apex pale brown ; near the middle there are two 

 small crests ; an ill-defined carina extends from the base to 

 beyond the middle ; the inflated sides bear pale reddish- 

 brown squamae, and near the middle of the base there are a 

 few dark ones ; the punctuation is hidden. Scutellum ^va^W , 

 piceous. Elytra broadest near the middle, much narrowed 

 and nearly vertical behind, their sides inflexed ; when looked 

 at sideways they are seen to be most deviated near the thorax ; 

 they are striate-punctate ; the basal portion is uneven, a 

 series of small brown crests almost forms a curve from one 

 side to the other, but is least distinct near the suture, on the 

 summit of the posterior declivity. Unabraded specimens 

 may be more variegated, and probably have a more definite 

 arcuate area on the hind-body. 



Underside clothed with depressed greyish scales ; third and 

 fifth ventral segments infuscate. 



Length (rost. excl.) 1| ; breadth 1 line.

 Mr. J. H. Lewis.
