Plate V. Fig. 6. 

 Long. Corp. Liii. 3^. 



Habitat ia America Septeiitrlonali ? Ex Mus. D. Francillon. 



Desc. Corpus oblongum, piceum, nitidum, albido squamulo- 

 sum, subtus confertius. Caput suborbiculatum punctatum. Pro- 

 thorax confertissime granulatus* scaber. 



Elytra lacunosa punctulatissima : disco longitudinaliter in 

 cariiiam obtusam undatam elevato, apud suturam depressa bistri- 

 ata : striis lajvibus. Tibice extrinsecus striatulae. Abdomen po- 

 dice medio elovato in coruu breve longitudinale triangulare acu- 

 tum, segmento ventrali penuUimo, ytrinque cornu acuto, intror- 

 sum basi spiraculifero, armato.

Nasus subtrapezoideus, utrinque et antice marginatus : mar- 

 gine rcflcxo, medio concavus. 



jdntenncB capita fere longiores decem-articulatas : scapo incras- 

 sato elevato, arcuato ; articulis intermediis in dentem extra pro-

 bescente.

 promincntibus. 



Prosiernum elevatam, compressum, hirsutum, apice subemargi- 

 natum. 



Pedes. Cubitus apice tridentatus. Tibice intermedia; in angu- 

 lum obtusum incurvata; et quasi fractal. 



Coleoptra subpruinosa disco plana, lateribus declivia, longiora 

 quam in reliquis Trichiadis, & partem podicis operieatia. 



Corjnis subdepressum : trunco subtus hirsuto. 



Type of the genus Meloloniha limbata Oliv. Trtchius limbatus 

 De Jean. 



Tills genus, though evidently one of the Trichiada;^ recedes 

 from Trichius so much in habit, especially in its depressed body, 

 long elytra, remarkable intermediate tibiae, and nasus truncated 

 and narrowest at its apex, that I have no hesitation in separating 

 it. It is said by the Baron De Jean, in his catalogue, to be a 

 native of the East Indies.
