ii78 Major T. Broun on new Genera and 



with indistinct lobes, the terminal rather longer than the 

 basal three corabiued. 



Scope moderate as to length, stout, subclavate at the 

 extremity. Funiculus 5-articulatc, basal joint obcouical, 

 much stouter and longer than second, which is slightly 

 longer than the third, joints 3-5 subquadrate ; club oblong- 

 oval, with yellow pubescence. 



Underside shining brick-red, basal two ventral segments 

 darker; distinctly yet finely but not closely punctured, with 

 minute pubescence; the suture between the intermediate 

 coxae extremely fine and straight. The metasteruura very 

 elongate, flat, with a linear impression extending more than 

 halfway towards the front, in the female much shorter. 

 Basal ventral segment rather larger than second, broadly 

 impressed, the suture very fine. 



? . Rostrum more slender and finely sculptured, its sub- 

 parallel frontal half evidently broader than the basal. 



Much more slender than previously described species, of 

 a paler red, but with the el\tra more or less darkened near 

 the base.

 Broken River. A good series found by Mr. J. H. Lewis. 



Rhinanisus elongatus, sp. n. 



Angusiate, elongate, subdcpressed, subopaque, sparsely 

 clothed with minute greyish setae ; piceo-rufous, antennae 

 and tarsi obscure rufo-testaceous or pale ferrugineous. 



? . Rostrum shorter than thorax, widest at apex, very 

 slightly, hardly appreciably, dilated at the point of antennal 

 insertion just behind the middle, its basal portion evidently 

 contracted; it is finely but distinctly punctate. Head mnch. 

 narrowed anteriorly, rather coarsely, closely, and somewhat 

 rugosely punctured, the usually smooth hind portion mi- 

 nutely coriaceous and distantly punctate. Eyes rather flat, 

 with coarse facets. Thorax much longer than broad, gradu- 

 ally narrowed from near the base to the apical constriction, 

 close to the base the sides are rather abruptly and obliquely 

 narrowed ; disk longitudinally depressed, distinctly but not 

 closely punctured, the sides more coarsely and quite closely, 

 the middle of apex impunctate. Scutellum small and smooth. 

 Elytra rather wider than thorax at the base, very elongate 

 and parallel, just visibly narrowed near the extremity; the 

 dorsum not quite flat, evidently striate-punctate, the punc- 

 tures quadrate or oblong, with short intervals, striate at 

 apex ; third interstices bent there but only minutely elevated.
