Mychestes congest us. 



M. obi on gas, fusco-niger, supra confertim granulatus ; prothorace 

 utrinque leyiter rotundato, in medio sulcato. Long. 5 liu. 



Hah. Port Bowen. 



Oblong, brownish blacky above with numerous rounded 

 close-set granules, all of nearly equal size; head convex in 

 front ; labium narrow, rounded anteriorly ; prothorax gib- 

 bous, rather longer than broad, moderately rounded at the 

 sides, sulcate above ; scutellum subtrans verse ; elytra nar- 

 rower than the prothorax at the base, about twice as long as 

 broad ; presternum grooved and slightly prolonged behind ; 

 body beneath and legs with a greyish-yellow squamosity 

 covering small scattered hair-like scales. 



In this species the antennae are clearly 11 -jointed, but the 

 last joint is very closely applied to the tenth ; in M. lignarius 

 the two are apparently united so as to appear as one; in M. 

 Pascoei there is a very faint line marking their limits. M\ 

 Mastersii I have not seen ; but Mr. McLeay says the pro- 

 thorax has a u projection " which u looks from above exactly 

 like a head and neck. 7 ' The crowded granules of nearly uni- 

 form size are distinctive of the above species.
