Antenna} of the male a little longer than the body, first 

 joint short, third to tenth subequal to one another, each nearly 

 three times as long as the first, the eleventh a little lon^-er 

 than the tenth ; the joints from tlie third are all slightly flat- 

 tened and area little thickened, but scarcely angulate at their 

 distal ends. The antennaj of the female extend beyond the 

 apex of the elytra, but do not reach to the tip of the abdomen, 

 and, besides being shorter, are slenderer than in the male. 



PSEUDOPHILUS, gen. nov. 

 Head strongly exserted, with the upper side oblique, and 

 slightly depressed between the eyes ; front rather short, sub- 

 vertical, with its upper portion longitudinally impressed in 

 the middle, its lower part with a somewhat elliptical impres- 

 sion circumscribing a narrow transverse area. Mandibles and 

 palpi of moderate length. Inner border of each of the anten- 

 nary condyles forming a slightly projecting process above. 

 Antennai of the male about equal in length to the body ; first 

 joint slightly curved, thickened towards its apex, third joint 

 scarcely longer than the first, the fourth much shorter, the 

 fifth distinctly longer than the fourth, the sixth to eleventh 

 gradually increasing in length. Anteiniae of the female 

 reaching to very little beyond the middle of the elytra. Eyes 

 coarsely faceted, emarginate, with the lower lobes rather large. 

 Prothorax slightly constricted and transversely impressed 

 near the base and apex, with its sides slightly rounded in the 

 middle ; its greatest breadth about equal to its median length. 

 Scutellum somewhat concave from side to side ; the anterior 

 part of the mesonotum, which is separated from the scutellura 

 by a transverse groove, has no stridulating surface, but bears 

 instead an impressed line along the middle, on each side of 

 which it is rather coarsely and thickly punctured. The 

 elytra, which are a good deal broader than, and about three 

 and a half times as long as, the prothorax, are rounded at the 

 apex. The anterior cotyloid cavities are angulate externally 

 and are somewhat open behind. The legs, which slightly 

 increase in length from tiie anterior to the posteiior, have the 

 femora somewhat compressed and broader towards the middle 

 of their length. 



This genus seems to me to be best placed in the group of 

 the Hesperophanides, of which it possesses all the most essen- 

 tial characters. It has some resemblance in general appear- 

 ance to the Prionid genus Philus^ and, like the Prionidaj in 

 general, it is without a stridulating surface to the mesonotum.
