MR. A. MURRAY'S MONOGRAPH OF THE FAMILY OF NITIDULARLE. 369 
48. CARPOPHILUS CHALYBEUS. 3 
Subfusiformis, convexus, chalceo-piceo-niger, subnitidus, crebre punctatus, sericeo pubes- 
cens. Long. 14 lin., lat. $ lin. 
Habitat in Sunggaria. 
Var. canus (obscurus, Motsch.). 
Niger, haud chalybeo tinctus. 
Habitat in Dauria. 
Subfusiform, nearly as much attenuated before as behind, convex, greenish-brassy 
piceous black, somewhat shining, clothed with a longish silky hoary pubescence, thickly 
punctate, punctures round and cupped. Head with the epistome slightly marked off from 
the rest of the head. Antenne nigro-piceous, with the club dusky black. Thorax narrower 
in front than behind, apex not emarginate, sides gently rounded, anterior angles very 
little obtuse, slightly reflexed at the tip, posterior angles obtuse, rounded, base bisinuate, 
middle further back than the sides: the pubescence and the punctuation combine to 
give the surface a velvety appearance, the pubescence pointing inwards and backwards 
to a point on the median line a little before the scutellum. Scutellum transverse, some- 
what pentagonal, apical angles rounded, very pubescent. Elytra a little longer than the 
thorax, and a little broader than it at the base, rather convex, slightly depressed behind 
the shoulders, which are rather prominent and rounded, sides very slightly rounded, 
declinate, widest a little behind the shoulder, with a longitudinal line running down 
along the side beyond the shoulder; apex of each elytron obliquely truncate, exterior 
apical angles rounded, sutural angles obtuse. Abdomen with the exposed segments 
large, and about equal in length; fimbriz scarcely observable. Legs black; tarsi nigro- 
piceous. 
From Sunggari. I owe this species to M. Obert, of St. Petersburg. 
The non-zruginous variety is from Dauria, and was sent to me by M. de Motschulsky. 
49. CARPOPHILUS CRIBRATUS. 
Parum convexus, oblongus, subfusiformis, opacus, fortiter punctatissimus, griseo pubes- 
cens; niger, ore, antennis pedibusque rufis; thorace lateribus postice subsinuatis, 
angulis posticis subacutis et retro projicientibus. Long. 1j lin., lat. 2 lin. 
Patria ignota. 
Slightly convex, subfusiform, opaque, strongly and very thickly punctate, griseo- 
pubescent, black. Head punctate, impressed in front; the mouth and antenne rufous, 
except the club, which is fuscous. Thorax subquadrate, the anterior angles obtuse, 
declinate, almost inflexed, the sides straight, except near the apex, where they are 
rounded in, apex straight, subsinuate behind the middle, causing the posterior angles to 
appear acute and a little like a curved tooth projecting backwards and outwards; before 
the scutellum with a short, slightly raised dorsal line; the base truncate, sinuate on each 
side towards the angles. Scutellum and base of the elytra declining to the base of the 
thorax. Elytra with the sides straight until behind the middle, when they become nar-
