broader than the base of the thorax, their apical portion 

 rather suddenly truncate ; they bear series of distant, shallow, 

 foveiform impressions, the intervals are only slightly uneven. 

 Legs nearly concolorous, there being a pale band near the 

 middle of the femora only ; these latter are angulate below, 

 the anterior are dentate. Tarsi underneath with a bare 

 channel along the middle, elsewhere with dense vestiture. 



Very much like the typical species. No. 1272, but only 

 about half the size and without superficial inequalities. The 

 tarsi are narrower, their third joint evidently so. The sculp- 

 ture of the elytra differs, the apical declivity has no nodiforra 

 elevations. The squamosity would be concolorous if it were 

 not for the pale parts described above ; in E. ferrugalis it is 

 more or less variegate. The large cavities seen on the sides 

 of No. 1272 are here absent, but there are many small 

 flattened granules.

Group Cossonidse. 

 Camptoscapus, gen. no v. 



Body fusiform, subdepressed, nearly glabrous. Rostrum 

 almost quite parallel-sided, only very slightly narrowed 

 towards the eyes. Antennce inserted at or close to the middle 

 of the rostrum, rather long and stout. Scape not at all short, 

 incrassate but not abruptly clavate towards the extremity ; 

 this thickened portion is bent backwards, the basal is slightly 

 curved in the opposite direction. Funiculus 5-articulate, 

 second joint almost the length of the first, rather longer than 

 the third; joints 3 to 5 transverse. Club ovate, moderate, 

 finely annulate. Eyes round, large, a little convex, widely 

 separated above, distant from thorax. Scutellum distinct, 

 flat. Thorax narrowed and constricted anteriorly, its base 

 truncate. Elytra slightly curved from the suture to the 

 shoulders, parallel or a little narrowed posteriorly, apical 

 margins not explanate. Legs long and stout; femora slender 

 at the base, clavate beyond j tibiae slightly dilated towards 

 the extremity, their hooks moderately developed. T'arsi 

 narrow, third joint scarcely at all enlarged, not lobate ; claws 

 small. 



In Pentarthrum^ as defined by the author, the body is 

 cylindric, the eyes prominent, and the scape is straight. In 

 the Japanese genus Tychiodes the scape is short and flexuous, 

 a character apparently of rare occurrence in the subfamily 

 Pentarthrides.
