EHAMPHUS. 



E. australis, sp. nov. Niger, antennis (clava plus minus infus- 

 cata excepta) testaceis, tarsis piceo-testaceis ; crebre rugulose 

 minus crasse punctulatus ; elytris fortiter striatis, striis 

 obscure punctulatis, interstitiis subconvexis. Long., 1 1 

 (vix.)— 111.; lat., I— I 1. 

 This spceies is extremely like the European R. Jlavicornis, 

 Schonh. ; it is, however, a larger and broader species with the 

 prothorax more strongly transverse and at its widest across the 

 base (where its width is about twice its length down the middle) ; 

 the puncturation is much closer and more rugulose throughout, 

 and the sculpture of the elytra is very different, the striation being- 

 strong and the interstices more or less convex and rugulose while 

 the stride are quite obscurely punctured so that the sculpture 

 w^hich strikes the eye is that of the interstices, not of the strise. 

 The third joint of the tarsi is more broadly dilated.

H. distinguendus, sp. nov. Niger, antennis (clava excepta) plus 

 minus pallescentibus ; prothorace sat crasse minus crebre 

 punctulato ; elytris sat fortiter punctulato-striatis, inter- 

 stitiis vix convexis vix perspicue punctulatis. Long., 4 1. — 

 1 1.; lat. f 1. 

 This species resembles R. Jlavicornis even more strongly thaa 

 does the preceding but differs in the interior coxae being less^ 

 widely separated ; indeed this difference in the structure of the 

 anterior coxfB and a somewhat greater dilatation of the second 

 joint of the antenna? are the only distinctions that I can specify,
