Mr. C. 0. Waterhouse on neio Heteromera. 175 



Amarygminse. 



EuLYTUS, n. gen. 



General characters of Eajjezus^ but with the eyes smaller 

 and widely separated above. Thorax transversely quadrate, 

 with the anterior angles slightly prominent, and the base 

 simply and gently arcuate. Elytra at the base the same 

 width as the thorax ; the disk of each elytron with a double 

 sublateral inflation ; the apex declivous and acuminate. 

 Mesosteruum with the anterior angles made by the excava- 

 tion more prominent. Metasternum very short, in the middle 

 not quite so long as the basal segment of tlie abdomen ; para- 

 pleura narrow posteriorly, with the inner margin flexuous. 

 Intercoxal process of the abdomen very broad and very 

 obtusely rounded j the apical segment with a well-marked 

 impression at the apex ( ? ?) . AntenuEe and legs as in 

 Eujjezus. 



Euli/tus nodi^jennisj n. sp. 



Niger, nitidus ; thorace subtihssime crebre punetulato ; elylris stria- 



tis, striis interruptis punctis impressis, discis inllatis. 

 Long. 8 hn. 



Head very thickly punctured ; there are two small impres- 

 sions between the eyes, and a third on the vertex. Thorax 

 shining, one third broader than long, gently convex, margined 

 in front and at the sides, very delicately and thickly punc- 

 tured ; the anterior angles moderately prominent and acute ; 

 the sides subparallel to near the front, where they converge. 

 Scutellum strongly transverse and finely punctured. Elytra 

 with all the discoidal portion raised above the level of the 

 thorax, strongly declivous and acuminate at the apex. The 

 strise are well marked, but are interrupted, and have numerous 

 elongate impressions. The disk of each elytron is inflated 

 laterally ; and this inflation is transversely impressed in the 

 middle, so that it is divided into two, the fifth and sixth 

 strise uniting between them j the interstices are excessively 

 finely punctured. The legs are thickly punctured. The 

 antennae are thickly punctured, the four apical joints opaque. 



Hah. East Africa. 



Of this very remarkable species I have only seen a single 

 example in Colonel tShelley's collection.
