1374 COLEOPTERA 



2399. A. rufllS, n -S- Subovate, convex, castaneous or reddish, 

 but little shining ; legs and antennae chestnut-red, club infuscate. 



Funiculus 7-articulate, basal joint largest, incrassate apically, 

 second slender, only moderately elongate, 3-7 become shorter, 

 seventh transverse ; club oblong-oval. Thorax slightly narrowed 

 towards the front, almost constricted there, its sides somewhat 

 rounded; it is moderately closely and distinctly punctured, and 

 is clothed with slender yellowish hairs. Elytra almost punctate- 

 striate ; interstices convex, each with a row of fine distant punc- 

 tures ; the clothing consists of pale, rather short and slender, semi- 

 erect hairs, and, in addition, there are a few scattered, conspicuous, 

 but not at all elongate, hair-like setae. 



Underside reddish, punctate, with greyish pubescence. 



Metasternum short, convex, but depressed behind at the middle. 

 The two basal ventral segments somewhat depressed. 



Length (rost. excl.), 1|- lines; breadth, \ line. 



Boatman's. Another of Mr. Cavell's discoveries. 



2400. A. niger, n.s. Black, moderately shining, the scape and 

 tarsi infuscate ; elytra sparingly clothed with short, slender, mostly 

 erect, grey hairs, those on the thorax longer and decumbent. 



Very similar to A. rufus. There are about twelve punctures 

 between the eyes in the male. The antennae are shorter. The 

 thorax is smaller, more rounded laterally, and it is not depressed in 

 front. The middle tibite are dilated inwardly near the middle. 



Underside black, shining, punctate, with grey hairs, the meta- 

 sternum with fewer punctures, abdomen slightly convex. The 

 borders of the prosternal emargination, though a little swollen, are 

 without any apparent tooth at the point where they unite with the 

 outer margin. 



Length (rost. excl.), 1J- lines; breadth, f line. 



Boatman's. Found by Mr. Cavell. 



Celetotelus. 



Nov. gen. 



Rostrum shorter than thorax, moderately stout, gradually ex- 

 panded towards the extremity. The scrobe commences near the 

 apex, and extends to the lower part of the eye. The scape is 

 slender, elongate, and somewhat flexuous; it attains the front of 

 the thorax. Funiculus shorter than the scape, its basal joint longer 

 and thicker than the slender second joint, 3-7 small ; club large, 

 ovate. The head is of moderate length, but not broad. The eyes 

 are free, but not distant, from the thorax ; they are prominent, oval, 

 and are quite longitudinal id est, they extend forwards. The front 

 coxa are large and contiguous, and are placed near the front of the 

 prosternum, which is entire. The femora are somewhat angulate 

 and minutely dentate below. 



The genus should be placed near Erirhinus.
