posterior pair, and both of these are angulate in the middle, 

 the posterior pair are slightly the broadest. 



In H. brvnneipennis the prosternal strise are short and very 

 markedly meet in front; in H. blanchardi they are very 

 similar to carinistrius and the tibia? are also equally angulate. 



Hab. Hartford, Connecticut (K. Q. Blair). 



Tin's is the first species discovered on the eastern border of 

 the United States. A single example only in the British 

 Museum. 



Chlamydopsis papuce, sp. n. (PL II. fig. 6.) 



Piceous, above densely and strongly sculptured, a little 

 shining ; the head roughly sculptured with two obscure bow- 

 shaped elevations in the median area ; the thorax also densely 

 sculptured, the form of the sculpture being distinctly reticu- 

 late, the interspaces being elongate or oblong (fig. 6«), the 

 anterior edge in the middle is slightly raised and minutely 

 roughened and on each side are tw r o robust dentations, the 

 antennal fossae lying under the spaces between them, on the 

 vertex there is an obscure bipartite tubercle ; the elytra, the 

 elevations of the scutellar region are lobe-shaped and trans- 

 versely not quite so wide as those figured by Lea for exca- 

 vata, behind the shoulder there is a deep pit which is joined 

 to the corresponding one by a narrow channel passing close 

 to the scutellar elevations, the general surface is sculptured 

 like the thorax, the suture has a finegeminous marginal stria ; 

 the pygidia are densely reticulate, but the interspaces are 

 circular or oval, the apex of the pygidium is smooth ; the 

 presternum and mesosternum are densely sculptured like 

 the head, the anterior lobe of the first has a sinuous edge and 

 the marginal stria widens out anteriorly after passing the 

 coxas, the mesosternum is margined in front ; the meta- 

 sternum is distinctly marked from the mesosternum and has 

 only a single line of punctures along its anterior edge, other- 

 wise it is smooth ; the first segment of the abdomen has a 

 row of points anteriorly widely set apart and the posterior 

 edge has a narrow border-line of points which widens out on 

 either side ; the tibiae are slightly dilated and angulate on 

 the outer edge, the anterior and median pair are markedly 

 sculptured, the posterior pair much less so. 



Hab. Laloki, Papua (F. Muir, 1910). 



One example in the British Museum. 



Chlamydopsis inquilina, Lew., 1885. (PI. II. fig. 2.) 

 The keel of the presternum has a very few shallow and
