Hah. King George's Sound. 



As the name indicates, there is a well-marked groove on 

 the rostrum — a character which I have not observed in any 

 other specieSj except in a very slight degree. 



Oditesus huceros. 



0. niger, opacus, fere esquamosus ; capite inter oculos modice exca- 

 vato ; rostro basi valde gibboso, cornibus brevibus, inter ea pro- 

 funde fisso, antice rugose, minus excavato ; prothorace confertim 

 tuberculato, tuberculis plerumque mamilliformibus, uno utrinque 

 conspicuo, magis couico ; elytris ovatis, supra paulo depressis, 

 fortiter seriatim punetatis, lateribus ampliato-punctatis, apice 

 rotundatis, interstitiis tertio quintoque carinatis ; illo postice 

 nodes duos gerente, ultimo majore, hoc tuberculis tribus instructo, 

 primo elongate, sequentibus conicis, etiam tuberculo magTio conico 

 exteriore humero approximate ; corpore infra pedibusque ut in 

 prsecedentibus. Long. 4| lin.
