404 PERCY SLADEN TRUST EXPEDITION 
10. Cratopus muticus, n. sp. (Pl. 22, fig. 8, 2.) 
Elongate, rather narrow, fusiform ; nigro-piceous or piceous, the antennze, femora, 
and tibie rufo-piceous or ferruginous ; thickly clothed, except upon the raised portions of 
the upper surface, with small, rounded or oval, pale brown, carneous, or whitish scales, 
sometimes with pale greenish scales intermixed on the humeri, or along the suture and 
outer interstices of the elytra, on the coxee, and along a broad space down the middle of 
the under surface; the legs and a space down the middle beneath sparsely clothed with 
long white hairs, the tarsi with intermixed narrow bluish or green scales above, and the 
femora also with a few oval greenish scales. Head very sparsely punctate, narrowly 
foveate between the eyes, the latter very large, oval, moderately prominent, and finely 
facetted ; rostrum a little longer than broad, rather narrow, without marginal carina. 
Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides, narrowed and constricted anteriorly ; con- 
fusedly punctate and coarsely granulate, the vestiture becoming longer, denser, and 
transversely arranged along the sides. Scutellum small, shiming, bare. Elytra very much 
wider than the prothorax, elongate, widened posteriorly in $, compressed and strongly 
acuminate at the apex, granulate at the sides below the humeri, the latter obliquely 
truncate, the outer margin serrulate towards the tip, the apices mucronate; with rows of 
coarse punctures, separated by raised, subgranulate or interrupted, glabrous interstices, 
the intervening depressed spaces being densely squamose. Beneath closely transversely 
strigose and sparsely granulato-punctate. Legs very elongate, rather slender; anterior 
femora unarmed ; anterior and intermediate tibize very strongly, and the posterior tibiz 
feebly, unguiculate in $, the uncus on the middle pair short, and that on the posterior 
pair wanting, in §. 
Length (includ. rostr.) 10—114, breadth 3—33 mm. (¢9). 
Loc. Seychelles : Mahé. 
Ten specimens were obtained ; one by Gardiner in 1905; one by Thomasset in 1906 ; 
and eight by Scott in 1908—9, at the following localities: near Morne Blane, ca. 
1000 feet, XI. 1908; Cascade Estate, II. 1909; forest on summit of Montagne Anse 
Major, ca. 2000 feet, Il. 1909; Mare aux Cochons district, over 1000 feet, I. 1909. It 
was found but rarely, by beating, and it appeared to be usually, if not always, beaten from 
” 
the endemic “‘Capucin” tree (Northea seychellarum). 
C. muticus differs from all the species described by Boheman by the unarmed anterior 
femora. It is a rather slender, elongate form, with densely squamose body, the elytral 
interstices being raised and bare. 
Group Hylobiina.

The following additions to Kolbe’s diagnosis of this genus are required: ‘“‘ Anterior 
coxee subcontiguous; prosternum very deeply emarginate at the apex, and broadly
