Subfamily Cossoninae. 

 Genus Glyphostethus nov. 



Head globular, deeply imbedded in the thorax; the eyes very shortly 

 ovate, entirely lateral, coarsely facetted. Eostriim short and stout, only 

 half as long as the prothorax, and quite straight, but directed down- 

 wards; the scrobes deep, widening behind and passing rapidly beneatii 

 the rostrum, but broadly separated at the base. Antomae inserted beyond 

 the middle of the rostrum; the scape short and stout, not reaching the 

 eye, widening from base to apex; the funiclc with joint 1 a little longer 

 and much broader than 2, 3 to 7 transverse and becoming successively 

 wider; the club shortly oval, as long as the three preceding joints, the apical 

 third spongy. Proihorax strongly and broadly constricted in front, with 

 the apical dorsal margin so much produced that the head, when deflected, 

 is invisible from above. Scutellum small, punctiform. Elytra, oblong- 

 ovate, much broader at the shoulders than the prothorax, subtruneate at 

 the base, and with stria 10 very short. Legs with the femora hardly 

 clavate, unarmed,; the tibiae straight, sl'ghtly compressed and strongly 

 uncinate; the tarsi four-jointed, joint 3 not broader than 2, the claws free 

 and simple. Stern vm : the prosternum below the level of the metasternum, 

 with a deep furrow in front of the coxae, the front margin very deeply 

 sinuate, the coxae rather narrowly separated; the central piece of the 

 mesosternum trapezoidal, narrowed behind, the front margin shallowly 

 sinuate; the metasternum between the coxae rather longer than the mid 

 coxa.
