new Species of Ilistcrida}. 103 



Margakinotus, J^Iiirseul, Mon. p. 519 (1853). 



The species of this genus have oj)en circidar aiiteiiiial fossa3, 

 and this structure suggests its position to be near Grammu- 

 n/el/ius and Atholus. It cannot remain between Conlipus Mni 

 Jlisltrj where Marseul placed it. 



Carcinops Voulogert, Th6ry. 



In the (catalogue of 1905 I placed this species erroneously 

 in Kisshter. .Mons. Thcry has kindly given me the type 

 example. 



Moiwplius Uraunsi, sp. n. 



Or})icularis, convexus, nigcr, opacus ; fronto plana ; elytris scriebus 

 septem plagarum Itcviuin subobsolctis, striis dorsaUbus uullis ; 

 prostcrno bistriato ; mctastcrno antico foveolato. 



L. 4J-5 mill. 



Orbicular, convex, black, and opaque ; the head, lateral 

 stria3 reacb a little beyond the eye, surface fiat and rugosely 

 punctured; the thorax with three lateral small i>unetures and 

 one behind the eye (these are seen in other species), surface 

 densely and strigosely punctured ; the elytra, striiu, outer 

 liumeral distinct and eonij^lete, inner also complete but less 

 marked and varying in individuals, dorsal obliterated ; the 

 smooth circular spaces, as seen in pinguis, Lew. (pi. xx a. 

 fig. 3, Ann. & IMag. Nat. llist. xi. 1893), are obscured by 

 the dense longitudinal strigosity of the general surface ; 

 the propygidium is densely and longitudinally strigose; the 

 pygidium is punctured on the disk and rather broadly rugose 

 along its base; the prosternum is clearly puncture!, keel 

 bistriale, the striai bend towards each other in the middle; 

 the mesosternum, marginal stria complete ; the metasternum 

 lias a fovea close to the suture, and there is a more or less 

 deep median linear impression which connects the fovea in 

 the base edge, and sometimes there are two small foveiu on 

 the iirst abdominal segment ; the pilosity on the thighs c^c. 

 when existing is reddish and always sj)arse. The female has 

 a very faint longitudinal impression before the apex of the 

 pygidium, but it is only seen in certain lights. 



The above is somewhat similar in size io sijiUatus, IVuing., 

 in which, however, the elytral smooth spaces are much more 

 distinct.
