This is smaller than the typical species. It is also less 

 deep black in colour, less broad in shape, with more strongly 

 punctured elytra and shorter hairy clothing. The sides ot" 

 the prothorax are more evenly rouiuled and its base is rather 

 less broad. The legs are scar(,'ely as slender as those of 

 ('. cuccint'lloidcs, and the antennie decidedly less so. 

 Joints 4; to 7 of the latter are very short and closely con- 

 nected, and the terminal joint of the club is not at all 

 elongate, as it is in the other form.

Genus Geoendomvchus, Lea, 



This genus has recently been described by Mr. Artliur 

 Lea for a tiny insect found in Lord Howe Island, and one 

 taken iu the Seychelles by Dr. Scott shows such a remark- 

 able resemblance to that species, not only in its superficial 

 aspect but iu its anatomical characters, that, in spite of 

 ditiercnees such as an additional joint in the antenna, I 

 think there can be no question as to the ^vis(K)m of 

 emphasising the close coi responilcnce l.'ctween them by 

 referring the new form to the same genus. The remoteness 

 of their respective iiabitats is surprising, but it may be 

 expected that the discovery of others of these minute 

 Endomyehidie, so few uf which are yet known, will make 

 it less so.
