970 MR. A. MURRAY'S MONOGRAPH OF THE FAMILY OF NITIDULARLE. 
rower; margins of the sides declinate, moderately rounded, and edged; apex of each 
elytron obliquely truncate; exterior apical angles broadly rounded. Legs rufous. 
A very distinct species; readily distinguished by its coarse punctuation and by the 
posterior angles of the thorax projecting backwards. 
Habitat unknown. A single specimen in the collection of Herr Dohrn, of Stettin. 
50. CARPOPHILUS FUSUS. 
Elongatus, fusiformis et antice et postice fere :equaliter attenuatus, sat convexus, niger, 
punetatus, nigro pubescens; prothorace versus basin longitudinaliter utrinque bi- 
impresso; tarsis rufo-piceis. Long. 1} lin., lat. $ lin. 
Habitat in insula Dorey prope Novam Guineam. 
Elongate, fusiform, nearly as much attenuated in front as behind, rather convex, black, 
punctate, sparingly nigro-pubescent. Head with a slight transverse impression, and a 
small fovea on each side of it behind the epistome. "Thorax broader than long, about as 
broad as the length of the head and thorax, narrower in front than behind; sides some- 
what parallel for the posterior two-thirds, thence gently rounded to the apex, which is 
nearly straight; anterior angles much declinate, obtuse, with the point rounded; pos- 
terior angles nearly right angles, slightly obtuse and blunt; disk longitudinally convex, 
with a depression close to and all along the side, and another longitudinal depression 
within that, proceeding from the base and disappearing about halfway forward, these 
depressions more deeply and thickly punctate than the rest of the surface; base slightly 
bisinuate. Scutellum depressed at the base, rounded at the apex. Elytra about equal in 
length (at the suture) to the thorax, disk flat, sides nearly parallel, deeply declinate and 
slightly inflexed, the margin rounded, widest a little behind the shoulder; apex of each 
elytron obliquely truncate; exterior apical angles rounded, sutural angles obtuse. Ab- 
domen with the two exposed segments long (about the length of the elytra), finely 
punctate and pubescent. Underside punctate. Legs with the tarsi rufo-piceous. | 
Found by Mr. Wallace in the island of Dorey, one of the New Guinea Islands, and in 
the island of Morty, north of Gilolo. 
Species mihi invisa. 
The following species probably belongs to this or the preceding section; but as I have 
not seen it, and the description is insufficient, I merely reproduce M. Lucas's description. 
51. CARPOPHILUS IMMACULATUS. 
Lucas, Explor. Scient. de PAlgér. Zool. ii. 218 (1849). 
“ Ater, capite granario punctatoque; thorace subtilissime marginato; scutello elytrisque 
fortiter punctatis, sparsim flavo-testaceo pilosis; segmentis abdominis supra sub- 
tilissime punctulatis, corpore infra sat fortiter punctato; pedibus fusco-rufescentibus 
tarsisque ferrugineis.
