Pentarthrum Carmichaeli, un. sp. 
Statura fere P, Huttoni, minus nitidum, pallide piceum, aureo-pubes- 
cens; rostro paulo longiori, thorace lateribus postice magis rotun- 
datis, creberrime punctato ; elytris fortiter striatis, striis confertim 
evidenter punctatis, interstitiis convexis, seriatim punctatis. 
Long. (rostr. excl.) 33 millim., lat. 1 millim. 
The rostrum a little longer than in P. Huttoni, nearly 
parallel, rather dull, finely and rather closely punctured at the 
base, the punctuation beyond the middle excessively fine and 
longitudinally confluent. Eyes moderately prominent. An- 
tenn rather short and stout, beset with long hairs; funiculus 
5-jointed, the first joint a trifle longer than broad, narrowed 
at the base, the second as long as the first; the third, fourth, 
and fifth shorter, subequal; the club elongate-ovate, pilose. 
Thorax moderately flattened, the surface finely coriaceous, 
very thickly and moderately strongly punctured, broadest at 
one third from the base, narrowed in front and at the base, 
the sides distinctly rounded. Scutellum small and rounded. 
Elytra at the base not quite so broad as the broadest part of 
the thorax, somewhat flattened, parallel, arcuately narrowed 
at the apex, strongly striated, the strie closely and mode- 
rately strongly punctured, the punctures rather transverse ; 
the interstices convex, each with a single irregular line of 
small punctures; all the punctures bear golden hairs, which 
have a slight greenish tint in some lights. Tarsi short and 
stout; the third joint broad and excavated nearly as in P. 
Huttoni, not bilobed.
