and there in the longitudinal direction, when the intervals are 

 equal to the diameter of the punctures) ; at rather remote in- 

 tervals very minute punctures tray be seen. At the upper part 

 of the posterior declivity, on each elytron, are two short, scarcely 

 noticeable costae : the extreme apex is slightly reflexed, dull. 

 The first joint of the club of the antennae is a little longer than 

 broad, the second as long as broad, the third elongate-ovate. 

 The anterior angles of the metastemum, and the metasternal epi- 

 pleura are densely and very finely granular. The abdomen is 

 closely and finely punctured, and very delicately pubescent. The 

 tarsi are not very long as compared with some of the species of this 

 genus.

Pediris SLBOPAcrs, n. sp. 



Closely allied to P. (Xi/cfobates) sulciper, Boisd., but less shining. 

 Entirely black ; the head much more closely and rather more 

 strongly punctured than in P. gulciger, especially on the vertex. 

 Thorax shghtly shining only in the middle ; the impression on each 

 side of the middle much less marked than in P. sulciger, the punc- 

 tuation more distinct. Elytra somewhat dull; the stiiae nearest to 

 the suture very lightly impressed (except at the extreme apex* ; the
