Endocoxelus, gen. nov. 



Mentum slightly transverse, a little narrowed in front ; 

 ligula about half the width of the mentum and of the same 

 length, parallel at the sides, rounded and ciliated in front ; 

 labial palpi somewhat elongate and acuminate ; outer lobe of 

 the maxillae short, triangular, truncate and ciliated at the apex; 

 apical joint of the palpi twice as long as broad, as long as the 

 two preceding joints taken together, truncate at the apex. 

 Head nearly parallel at the sides, gently sinuate at the eyes, 

 and a little narrowed behind ; eyes slightly prominent. An- 

 tennge eleven-jointed, as long as the head, the first and second 

 joints stouter than those following, scarcely longer than broad ; 

 the third to fifth a little elongate, sixth to ninth moniliform, the 

 tenth and eleventh joints forming a distinct club, the eleventh 

 considerably smaller than the tenth. Thorax convex, a little 

 broader than long, slightly nan-ower behind, distinctly mar- 

 gined all round, but especially at the sides, which are gently 

 arcuate (microscopically serrate), all the angles obtuse. Scu- 

 tellum very small. Elytra at the base scarcely broader than 

 the thorax, slightly broader posteriorly, twice as long as 

 broad. 



Closely allied to Coxelus, but with the head not wider in 

 front of the eyes, antennae with a more distinct club, thorax 

 narrowly but distinctly margined, &c.
