carinis antice conjunctis ; mesostcrno laterali grosse punctato ; 

 pygidio apice Isevi. 

 L. li mill. 



Oval, convex, setose, piceous ; the forehead carinate on the 

 sides, carinEe meeting and forming an angle anteriorly, surface 

 entirely covered with large shallow confluent punctures ; the 

 thorax — lateral stria well marked, but behind the head the 

 stria is partly obliterated by the punctuation, anterior angles 

 feebly prominent, somewhat like an Eretmotus, surface rather 

 thickly covered with large oblong, or somewhat tear-shaped 

 punctures, punctuation conspicuous ; the el3'tra — humeral and 

 first to fourth strias complete, fifth shortened and evanescent at 

 either end, sutural straight and parallel to the suture, all formed 

 by double rows of punctures, the strige close in together at the 

 apex forming a punctured area, the striae 1-4 are arched, the 

 fourth joining the sutural at the base, interstices smooth ; the 

 propygidium and the pygidium closely and roughly sculptured 

 with large confluent punctures, the latter being smooth at the 

 apex ; the prosternum^ — lobe coarsely rugose, keel carinate at 

 the sides, carinas joining in an arch anteriorly and gradually 

 diverging to the base, area between the carinas smooth ; close 

 to the carina, between it and the coxee, is a short curved 

 stria ; the mesosternum — margin raised correspondingly to the 

 prosternal carinas, prominent and obtusely angulate ante- 

 riorly, the projection is sculptured, but the surface imme- 

 diately behind is narrowly smooth and posteriorly joins a 

 large smooth triangular space which occupies nearly the 

 whole of the metasternum ; the meso- and the metasternum are 

 broadly bordered laterally with large, somewhat confluent, 

 punctures, and the latter has a few similar punctures along 

 its base ; anterior tibiae denticulate, intermediate angulate 

 on the outer edge before the base. 



My friend and correspondent Herr Joh. Schmidt, who has 

 lately enunciated the genus SynocUtus and described six 

 species in it, has examined the above and returned it to me 

 as an undescribed species, and I have much pleasure in 

 naming it after him.
