NOTOSALPINGUS (gen. nov.). 

 Generi praecedenti diftert genis baud spiniformibus, oculis multo 

 minoribus, capite antice manifeste magis rostriformi, antennis 

 apicem versus paullo incrassatis (nee clavatis), prothorace 

 (speciei typicae) cordiformi, tarsorum articulis (apicali ex- 

 cepto) brevibus, penultimo quam pnecedentes multo 

 angustiori haud subtus producto, articulis basalibus subtus 

 hirsutis, corpore fere glabro capillis erectis sparsim vestito. 



I think this genus will be sufficiently distinguished from those 

 previously characterised in the family by its head resembling that 

 of Scdpingus, in combination with tarsi of which the apical joint 

 is as long as all the rest together, the penultimate much narrower 

 than the preceding joints, and the first not much longer than the 

 second, and antennae not clavate. 



iV. ornatus, sp. nov. Elongato-ovalis ; sat nitidus ; fortiter minus 

 crebre (capite sat crebre) punctulatis ; brunneus vix renes 

 cens, piceo-umbratus, elytris testaceo-variegatis, palpis 

 antennarum basi pedibusque plus minusve testaceis ; pro- 

 thorace transverso, ab apice retrorsum sinuatim angustato, 

 lateribus sparsim obscure denticulatis ; capite quam pro- 

 thorax paullo, hoc quam elytra magis quam paullo, 

 angustioribus. Long., 4 — 1^ 1. ; lat., -^ — -f 1. 

 The base of the prothorax is testaceous. The testaceous 

 markings on the elytra consist of a wide vitta commencing on 

 each shoulder and running towards the suture, which it nearly 

 but not quite reaches at about a quarter the length of the latter 

 from the scutellum ; at that point it becomes much narrower, 

 and continues parallel with the suture to about tlie middle of 

 the length of the elytra, where it abruptly dilates and ends ; 

 there is also an indistinct testaceous blotch on each elytron near 

 the apex. The above described testaceous markings are fairly
