Teinotarsits latipes^ sp. n. 



Ovalis, supra convexus, niger, nitidus ; fronte biimpresga, stria 

 integra; pronoto stria marginali iutegra, later.ili nulla; elytris 

 striis 1-3 integris, 4 tenuiter impressa. 



L. 5| mill. 



Oval, convex, black and shining; the head, frontal stria 

 complete but not well marked, with two impressions behind 

 it, surface finely punctalate; the thorax, the marginal stria 

 is fine and split into two for the greater part of its length, 

 but behind the anterior angle the two part^ unite (this form 

 of stria is seen also in T. Poggei, Har.), there is no lateral 

 stria, behind the anterior angle is a well-marked longitudinal 

 depression or shallow excavation, the surface is punctulate 

 very similarly to that of the head, there is a small scutellar 

 fovea ; the elytra, stri^ fine, outer basal sinuous and 

 dimidiate, inner complete, dorsal 1-3 complete, 2 sinuous and 

 at the base turns away from the first, 4 very fine but com- 

 plete, and it indistinctly joins the fifth at the apex, 5 reaches 

 the middle, the sutural is shortened one third at the base, 

 surface very finely punctulate, with a few apical acicular 

 markings near the ends of the second to fourth striae; the 

 pygidia are evenly and more distinctly punctured ; the tibiai 

 are all widely dilated, anterior 3-dentate; the anterior tarsi 

 are longer and more slender than the others; the prosternuni 

 is not striate ; the mesosternum is feebly sinuous anteriorly 

 and finely marginate.

Macrolister, gen, nov. 



The type of the genus Ulster is unicolor^ Linne, and I pro- 

 pose the name of MacruUster for a new genus to include 

 species which are obviously different in having a large 

 transverse head, a labrum transverse and emarginate, thorax 

 without any antennal fossettes, and t!ie anterior tibiae 3-dentate. 

 The type of this new genus will be //. gigas, P^yk., and the 

 species associated with it are II. validus, Er., latipes, Beauv., 

 Joitisj Sell., robusticeps, Mars., tardigradus, saginatus, robusti- 

 coUisj inirepidus, Cohnsoi, Lew., mnjovj L., jiilicolUs, Sch., 

 latohiuSj igt.avus, and niaurus, Mars. 



Pachylister, gen. nov. 



I propose also to found this genus to include Hister 

 coffer^ Er. (as the type), //. inaqualis, OX.^nigrila^ Er., roccz,
