spined in the middle, with the anterior and posterior angles 

 sharply rounded and destitute of any trace of a spine. Elytra 

 fulvous testaceous, somewliat darker towards the base, thickly 

 punctured, and each with four or iive feebly raised lines. 

 Body underneath liglit reddish brown, with a rather sparse 

 tawny prbescence, which is somewhat thicker and longer on 

 the breast. Antennae with the third joint a little shorter than 

 the fourth, the ramus of the third joint as long as the body of 

 the joint, the ramus of the fourth joint about as long as the 

 body of the fifth joint, and the rami of joints fifth to ninth each 

 longer than the body of the succeeding joint. 



This species in size, form, punctuation, and pubescence 

 agrees pretty closely with C. flahellicornis^ Serv. The elytra 

 and the underside of the body are, however, much lighter in 

 colour ; the eyes below are not more than half as far apart, 

 and the structure of the anteniire is different. In the seven 

 male specimens of C. jiahelUcornis before me the third joint of 

 the antennge is in every case about equal to or a little longer 

 than the fourth, and is not furnished with a distinct ramus, 

 but is merely produced at its inner apical termination into a 

 very short angular process ; the ramus of the fourth joint is 

 never longer than half the fifth joint, and in no case is the 

 ramus of any joint longer than the body of the succeeding 

 joint. 



Tereticus antennaUs, sp. n. 



Fusciis, creberiime punctulatus ; capita, prothoraceque cum pectore 

 fulvo-villosis ; elytris fulvo-brunneis vel fuscis, pube fulva leviter 

 obtectis ; antcnnis dimidium corporis vix attingentibus, articulis 

 a secundo ad decimum gradatim crescentibus, ramis longissimis, 

 articulo undecimo sex pi'ajcedentibus conjunctis a3(iuali. S . 



Hah. Imerina Mountains. 



Dark brown, closely and finely punctured. Head, pro- 

 thorax, and breast with a somewhat sparse tawny villosity. 

 Elytra with but the faintest trace of costte ; clothed with a 

 ratiier sparse fulvous pubescence. Antennre witli the joints 

 from the second to the tenth gradually increasing in length 

 and each provided with a very long ramus; the t3uth joint 

 about equal in length to the scape, the eleventh as long as 

 the six preceding taken together. 



This species resembles the same sex of T. lyp.ctinicornis^ 

 "VA'aterh., but is easily distinguished by the structure of the 

 antennge. In iiectinicorms the branches of the anteunal joints 

 are much shorter and the third joint is almost as long as the 

 scape and longer than any of the succeeding joints, the eleventh 

 excepted.
