separated ; the pygidium exposed. Clius differs from Sa- 
prosites in the form of the clypeus, which is depressed but not 
deflexed, the scutellum is less narrow, and the anterior thoracic 
angles are somewhat acute. In Saprosdtes the frontal suture 
is not visible, the clypeus is deflexed and emarginate.

Elongate, parallel, reddish brown, shining ; the head punc- 
tulate, punctures variable in size and not very closely set, 
clypeus anteriorly with a widely arched 
outline, not emarginate, frontal suture very 
distinet, with two dusky spots like those in 
Abgialia rufa, F. (nec Leconte), eyes small ; 
the thorax with large, round, and deep 
punctures, irregularly and not closely set, 
intermixed with smaller points, the punc- 
tuation anteriorly gradually lessening in 
size until the edge behind the neck, where 
it is very fine, the lateral edge is obscurely 
crenulate anteriorly, the crenulations gra- 
dually increase in distinctness until they 
form a series of denticulations round the 
posterior angles; the scutellum obsoletely 
punctulate; the elytra evenly punctate-striate, interstices 
smooth with crenulate edges ; the metasternum is longitudi- 
nally subcanaliculate in the middle, with large punctures in 
the channel and a few on the side of the plate outside it; the 
legs, anterior tibia strongly tridentate.

This species is much smaller than S. japonicus, Waterh., 
and of a different colour. The cheeks are less prominent and
