1'atria : Insula Corfu. — Mies. Bo wring, Saunders, et Jekel. 

 Statura latiore magis parallela, thorace transversim subquadrato a 

 reliquis distinctus. Tych. sparsuto 01., Sch. duplo major, minus 

 convexus. Caput breve, transversim rotundatum, convexum, punc- 

 tato-rugulosum, fronte foveolata. Oculi laterales, perpendiculares, 

 elongati. Rostrum deflexum, lineare, arcuatum, seriatim suleato- 

 punctatum, cu%I elevatione media longitudinali subcariniformi. 

 Thorax apice late emarginatus, infra oculos lobatus ; ab apice subito 

 transversim ampliatus, dein lateribus paululum rotundatus (medio 

 latitudine elytrorum), versus basin parum angustatus, quare sub- 

 quadratus ; transversim convexus, punctato-rugosus, lateribus sub- 

 carinato-compressis ; fundo squamulis fuscis opacis adspersus, linea 

 media basi ampliata, lateribus subtus parcissime griseo-albo squa- 

 mosus. Scutellum parvum, transversim subquadratum. Elytra bre- 

 viter ovata, basi late emarginato-truucata, ciun humeris antrorsimi 

 acute productis, lateribus usque ultra medium fere parallela, dein 

 versus apicem sensim angustata, apice ipso conjunctim rotundato ; 

 supra modice convexa, postice semicirculariter declivia, tenuiter 

 punctato-striata, interstitiis latis, planis, rugidosis ; fundo fusco- 

 squamoso; plaga magna latero-dorsah utrinque a basi ultra medium 

 apiceque irregulariter griseo-albo squamosis. Plaga interius ad basin 

 lineolam densius squamosam inter strias 2 et 3 emittit et pone illam 

 paulo emarginata est. Corpus subtus fortiter punctato-rugosum, 

 squamulis griseo-albescentibus adspersiun. Pedes parum elongati ; 

 femoribus valde clavatis ; tibiis omnibus intus pone basin angulariter 

 ampliatis, dein emarginatis et ciliatis, apice unco acuto parum obliquo 

 armatis. 



Barytychius, Jekel. 

 The type of this little group, liordei, Brulle, varies considerably 



in size, coloration of the body, and density of squamulation ; its 



synonymy is also rather intricate. 



The normal colour of the body is black or pitchy, with rufous 



antennse and legs ; but the head and thorax are often more or less 



rufescent, being in some small specimens even of a bright ruby hue. 



In some of the specimens with a light thorax, the usually black or
