 L. 1| mill. 



Oval, convex, setose, piceous ; the forehead carinate on the 

 sides, carinte nieetin<;- and fonning an angle anteriorly, surface 

 entirely covered with large shallow confluent ])unctures; the 

 thorax — lateral stria well marked, but behind tlic head the 

 stria is partly obliterated by the ])unctuation, anterior angles 

 feebly prominent, somewliat like an Eretmotus, surface rather 

 thickly covered with large oblong, or somewhat tear-shaped 

 ]nmctures, jnnictuation conspicuous ; the elytra — humeral and 

 first to fourth stria^. complete, fifth shortened and evanescent at 

 either end, sutural straight and parallel to the suture, all formed 

 by double rows of punctures, the striae close in together at the 

 apex forming a punctured area, the strias 1-4 are arched, the 

 fourth joining the sutural at the base, interstices smootli ; the 

 propygidium and the pygidium closely and roughly sculptured 

 with large confluent punctures, the latter being smooth at the 

 apex ; the prosternum — lobe coarsely rugose, keel carinate at 

 the sides, carina? joining in an arch anteriorly and gradually 

 diverging to the base, area between the carina? smooth ; close 

 to the carina, between it and the coxa3, is a short curved 

 stria ; the mesosternum — margin raised correspondingly to the 

 prosternal carina?, prominent and obtusely angulate ante- 

 riorly, the projection is sculptured, but the surface imme- 

 diately behind is narrowly smooth and posteriorly joins a 

 large smooth triangular space which occupies nearly the 

 whole of the metasternum ; the meso- and the metasternum are 

 broadly bordered laterally with large, somewhat confluent, 

 punctures, and the latter has a few similar punctures along 

 its base ; anterior tibia? denticulate, intermediate angulate 

 on the outer edge before the base. 



My friend and correspondent Herr Joh. Schmidt, who has 

 lately enunciated the genus Synoditus and described six 

 species in it, has examined the above and returned it to me 

 as an undescribcd species, and I have much ])leasure in 

 naming it after him.
