4 broken into points before the base, 5 short and apical, 
with a single point as a basal appendage, sutural stria apical 
and dimidiate, close to the suture at the apex, but markedly 
divergent in its course (like that of P. 4-punctulus, Mars. 
Mon. pl. xiv. fig. 4), internal humeral short and apical, inter- 
stices very finely punctulate on the disk, but the points 
increase in size towards the apex; the propygidium and 
pygidium are somewhat densely and finely punctured, before 
the apex of the latter is a transverse impression (perhaps not 
a permanent character) ; the prosternum evenly punctate, 
bistriate, strie joining anteriorly and widening out behind ; 
the mesosternum also punctate and robustly produced ante- 
riorly, marginal stria complete, transverse stria straight, 
wide, and shallow, with crenulate edges; the anterior tibiz 
spinous. 
This species belongs to the same section of the genus as 
P. circulifrons, Mars., breviusculus, Mars., and nitidus, Lew., 
but it may be known at once by its oblique sutural striz and 
punctured sternal plates. P. nitidus, Lew., is the least 
convex species of the three mentioned.

Anaglymma impar. 
Phelister impar, Mars. Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. (6) ix. p. exxvii (1889). 
This species belongs to the genus Anaglymma, and it 
resembles A. congonis, Lew., in having the fifth and sutural 
dorsal striz formed of single, not double lines. 
Hab. Ganzibar. 
Trypeticus planisternus, sp. n. 
Cylindricus, brunneo-piceus, nitidus ; capite vertice minute foveo- 
lato, rostro basi in medio elevato, utrinque depresso ; prosterno 
plano haud striato; mesosterno utrinque sulcato; pygidio con- 
vexo, punctato. 
L. 4 mill. 
Cylindrical, pitchy brown, shining; the head with a 
small but distinct fovea on its vertex, a frontal ridge separates 
the feebly convex vertex from the face, a robust median 
ridge forms the base of the rostrum, with a corresponding 
excavation on either side of it, the apex of the rostrum is 
short and obtuse, with a median sulcus before the tip, region 
of the sulcus depressed; the thorax not closely punctured, 
punctures largest and closest at and near the anterior angles, 
with a faint longitudinal ridge behind the middle of the neck ; 
the elytra, punctuation distinctly finer than that of the thorax ;
