438 PERCY SLADEN TRUST EXPEDITION 
obovate, the others small; prothorax transverse, small; scutellum very small; elytra broad, 
oblong or oval; anterior coxee contiguous, strongly exserted ; metasternum moderately 
long, the episterna exposed ; ventral segments free, 2 intermediate in length between 1 and 
3, 3—5 subequal, the pygidium ventrally exposed, the sutures straight ; femora strongly 
clavate, 1 usually stouter than the others, all sharply dentate; tibize armed with a small 
hook at the outer apical angle, the anterior pa bowed, more or less sinuate within ; 
tarsi with joint 3 bilobed, spongy-pubescent beneath, the claws appendiculate ; body 
oblong or oval, rather convex, pubescent or squamose, winged. 
Type, EL. curvimanus. 
The three species placed under this genus must come near Hndaus, Schénh., the 
type of which was from Sierra Leone, and which, according to Lacordaire, also has 
a 6-jointed funiculus. The Australian genera Diapelmus, Orpha, and Myossita, the New 
Zealand Hugnomus (as identified by Pascoe), and the Central American Udeus, all have 
similarly clavate, sharply dentate femora; but in these forms the head is more exserted 
and the eyes, in consequence, are more distant from the prothorax, and the tarsal claws 
(except in Diapelmus) are simple. Hnd@opsis superficially resembles Rhynchenus (Orchestes), 
the type, H. curvimanus, being so like the immaculate form of R. crassipes that the 
two insects were placed together in the Seychelles collections sent me for study. 
53. Endeopsis curvimanus, n. sp. (Pl. 28, fig. 30, 2.) 
Oblong, rather convex, shining, ferruginous or obscure ferruginous, darker beneath, 
the antennee (the scape excepted) infuscate, the eyes black ; finely pubescent, the elytral 
interstices each with a row of longer decumbent hairs. Head densely punctulate ; eyes 
large, prominent, separated by about half the width of the rostrum; rostrum moderately 
stout, curved, slightly longer than the prothorax, rugulosely punctate, in ? longer, 
smoother, and sparsely, finely punctate, the antennze inserted considerably beyond the 
middle in g, and further from the apex in ?. Prothorax small, transverse, rounded at the 
sides, feebly constricted and much narrowed anteriorly ; densely punctate. Elytra broad, 
subparallel at the base, slightly widened to about the middle, conjointly rounded at the 
apex ; punctate-striate, the interstices closely punctulate and feebly convex. Beneath very 
sparsely, finely punctate. Anterior femora more strongly clavate, and also more strongly 
dentate, than the others, and finely ciliate between the tooth and the apex. Anterior 
tibize bowed, strongly sinuate within, and arcuately dilated on the imner side towards 
the tip. 
Length (includ. head) 24—31 mm. (#2). 
Loc. Seychelles: Silhouette, Mahé. 
Nearly 40 specimens, beaten from certain dicotyledonous trees and bushes in the 
mountain-forests. Silhouette; from near Mont Pot-d-eau and from the Mare aux 
Cochons. Mahé; high forests of Morne Blanc and Pilot, high forest between Trois Freres 
and Morne Seychellois, forest above Cascade, and the Mare aux Cochons district. 
54. Hndeopsis anthonomoides, n. sp. 
Oblong, convex, shining, ferruginous, the eyes black ; clothed with narrow, hair-like, 
yellowish: scales, those on the elytra condensed into two irregular rows down each interstice.
