206 Mr. Wollaston's Diarjiiostic Characters of 



brought to light so many interesting facts. Although 

 abundantly distinct specifically, it is closely allied to the 

 B. 2nmcticollis, Woll., from Mexico (and still nearer to the 

 Gossonus crenatus, of Horn) : but it is considerably larger 

 and more coarsely sculptured, its eyes are less prominent, 

 its frontal fovea is veri/ much smaller, its scutellum is pro- 

 portionately larger, its elytral interstices are more con- 

 spicuously (though minutely) punctulated, and its antennae 

 and feet are of a much paler hue, — being rufo, or piceo- 

 ferruginous. 



GENUS EUTORNUS. 



WoUaston, Trans. Ent. Soc, Loiul, 491 (1873). 



Eutornus congener, n. sp. 



C. elongatus, parallelo-fusiformis, subcylindricus, niti- 

 diusculus, rufo-ferrugineus sed antice et postice jjaululum 

 obscurior ; capite rostroque minute punctulatis et jdIus 

 minus obsolete nigrescentioribus ; prothorace elongato, 

 cylindrico-ovato, antice profunde constricto, vix argutius 

 punctulato ; elytris subcylindricis (postice gradatim vix 

 subattenuatis), striato-punctatis (striis versus suturam 

 profundioribus), interstitiis depressis ac minutissime uni- 

 seriatim punctulatis, postice gradatim paulo nigrescepti- 

 oribus ; antennispedibusque crassiusculis, fere concoloribus.

Habitat Malacca, in collectione E. W. Janson. 



Ohs. — E. ferrugineo, insularum Malayensium, valde af- 

 finis, sed vix (nisifallor) ejus varietas geograpliica ; difiert 

 corpore submajore ac magis ferrugineo (sc. antice et postice 

 minus obscurato), rostro paulo longiore latiore, antennis 

 pedibusque subcrassioribus, necnon tibiis ad angulum 

 internum evidentius calcaratis. 



The single example from which the above diagnosis is 

 compiled has been forwarded to me by Mr. Janson as 

 coming from Malacca ; and it is very closely allied to the 

 Eutornus f err ugineais, so widely spread over the islands of 

 the Malayan archipelago, from which it appears mainly to 

 differ in its (probably) rather larger size and more fer- 

 ruginous hue (it being less darkened both before and 

 behind), as well as by its rostrum being a little longer and
