_This is a very abnormal species which ought perhaps to be 
separated from Arsipoda. It differs from all its allies in the 
fourth joint of its antenne being shorter than the second.

An abnormal species in appearance owing to the infuscate 
markings of its elytra which are much like those of Podontia 
nigrovaria, Macl.; indeed the insect has much resemblance to a 
very small Podontia but its appendiculate claws at once separate 
it from that genus. Its prothoracic sculpture is different from 
any of the varied types I have seen in other species of Arsipoda, 
but I do not find any marked structural character absolutely re- 
quiring a new generic name.

This species was sent to me by M. Sevrin from the Chapuis 
collection ticketed ‘‘ A7sipoda enescens, type.” I cannot find that 
any description of it has been published ; but, to provide against 
my being mistaken on this point, I have used the name enescens,
