new Coleoptera from Madagascar, 295 



tlie internal apical angle of the sixth to tenth joints rather pro- 

 duced ; thorax as broad as long, constricted in front, Avith a 

 moderately prominent tubercle on each side, a little before the 

 middle, disc Avith a round swelling on each side near the base ; 

 elytra ? not much narroAved toAvards the apex, gently convex. 



The specimen on Avhich I found this genus has been in the 

 British Museum for some years, but Avas not described on 

 account of the difficulty of determining its position. I feel sure, 

 hoAvever, that the place that I assigned to it near Toxotus is the 

 correct one. The very short muzzle is foreign to this group, 

 but the insertion of the antennae outside the emargination of the 

 eye accords better AA'ith the Toxotmw than elseAvhere. The 

 granulation of the eyes is much less fine than in the true 

 'Toxotus, agreeing, hoAvever, in this respect Avith the Californian 

 'Toxotus cervinns, Walker (Avhich is said to be a synonym of 

 T. spnrcAis, Lee). The head having a thick neck AAdth parallel 

 sides is uncommon in this group, but something similar is seen 

 in Mastododera.

Levcographis, n. gen. 



Closely allied to Enmimetes, but Avith the presternum betAveen 

 the coxse A^ery broad, gently concave anteriorly, the upper part

 trapezoidal and horizontal betAveeu the coxa>, jjerpeudicular in 

 front. Antennas a little longer than the body, the fifth joint 

 much shorter than the preceding and more slender, the sixth to 

 eleventh gradually diminishing in length, compressed, fringed 

 on the inner side (especially the apical joints), the eighth, ninth 

 and tenth joints Avith a slight angle at the base on the inner 

 side. Elytra Avith the shoulders not advanced anteriorly.
