256 Mr. C. J. Galian on new 



Antennre of the mjile a little longer than the body, first 

 joint short, third to tenth subequal to one another, eacli nearly 

 three times as long as the first, the eleventh a little l<)n<i:er 

 than the tenth ; the joints from the third arc all slightly llat- 

 tened and area little thickened, but scarcely angnlate at their 

 distal ends. Tiie antennjy of the female exten<l beyond the 

 apex of the elytra, but do not reach to the tip of tiie abtlonien, 

 and, besides being shorter, are slenderer than in the male. 



PSEUDOPHILUS, gen. nov. 



Head strongly exserted, with the upper side oblique, and 

 slightly depressed between the eyes ; front ratiier short, sub- 

 vertical, with its upper portion longitudinally impressed in 

 the middle, its lower part with a somewhat elliptical impres- 

 sion circumscribing a narrow transverse area. Mandibles and 

 palpi of moderate length. Inner border of each of the anten- 

 nary condyles forming a slightly projecting process above. 

 Antennae of the male about equal in length to the body; first 

 joint slightly curved, thickened towards its apex, third joint 

 scarcely longer than the first, the fourth much shorter, the 

 fifth distinctly longer than the fourth, the si.xth to eleventh 

 gradually increasing in length. Anteiuige of the female 

 reaching to very little beyond the middle of the elytra. Eyes 

 coarsely faceted, emarginate, with the lower lobes rather large. 

 Prothorax slightly constricted and transversely impressed 

 near the base and apex, with its sides slightly rounded in the 

 middle ; its greatest breadth about equal to its median length. 

 Scutellum somewhat concave from side to side ; the anterior 

 part of the niesonotum, which is separated from the scutellum 

 by a transverse groove, has no stridulating surface, but l)ears 

 instead an impressed line along the middle, on each side of 

 which it is rather coarsely and thickly punctured. The 

 elytra, which are a good deal broader than, and about three 

 and a half times as long as, the prothorax, are rounded at the 

 apex. The anterior cotyloid cavities are angulate externally 

 and are somewhat open behind. Tiie legs, which sligiitly 

 increase in length from the anterior to the jjosteiior, have the 

 femora somewhat compressed and broader towards the middle 

 of their length. 



This genus seems to me to be best placed in the group of 

 the llcsperophanides, of which it ])Ossesses all the most essen- 

 tial characters. It has some resemblance in general appear- 

 ance to the Prionid genus I'/d/us, and, like the Prionidie in 

 general, il is without a stridulating surface to the mesonotura.
