Type A. godmanni, u. sp. 



This genus must be |)laced next Br achy tier es in the arrangement 

 of M. Lacordaire, to which it is alHed in general appearance, but is 

 at once distinct by its free claws (very rare in the family) and its 

 serrate anterior tibiae. 



A. GODMANNI, n. sp. (PI. XXIII. fig. 9.) 



K.fusco-picetis, squaniis rotunda t is ochraceis sat dense vestitus; capite 

 loncjitudinuliter cannliculato ; thorace subquadrato, crebre punc- 

 tata ; elytris fortiter punctato-striatis, seriatim setosis ; pedibus 

 fuscis, parce squamosis, tar sis pilosis. L. 3-3^ tin. 

 Hab. Prope Hortam in ins, Fayal, duo specimina tantum lecta. 

 I have named this after Mr. Godnian, in recognition of his un- 

 wearied and successful attempts to increase our knowledge of the 

 Atlantic fauna in all its branches. 



Neocnemis*, nov. gen. 



Rostrum as long as the head, angular, slightly depressed longitu- 

 dinally, separated from the front by an obsolete elevation ; scrobes 

 very well marked, extending to the level of the inner margin of the 

 eyes. Anteiniee thick, pilose ; scape as long as head, clavate ; funi- 

 culus with the tirst joint longer than the second, the rest short, 

 obconic, subequal ; club short, acuminate, obsoletely articulate. 

 Eyes very prominent, conical. Thorax quadrate, sides rounded. 

 Elytra oblong-ovate, base subemarginate, shoulders rounded. Legs 

 moderate, femora thickened ; tibiae sinuate before the apex, with a 

 strong inwardly directed spine ; corbeilles but little defined, edge 

 ciliate ; tarsi short, claws soldered. 



Ty[)e N. occidentalis, n. sp. 



This genus is also a member of the " Brachyderides vrais " of M. 

 Lacordaire, and must be placed next to Strophosomus, which it re- 

 sembles in the contour of its head ; the tibial spines and almost 

 squamose corbeilles, however, readily distinguish it from any genus 

 in the family. 



N. OCCIDENTALIS, n. sp. (PI. XXIII. fig. 7.) 



N. nigra, dense griseo squamosa ; capite thoraceque setis brevibus, 

 elytris longioribus sat dense obsitis ; capite linea longitudinali im- 

 pressa, post ice emarginato ; thorace scabro, linea discoidali obso- 

 leta ; elytris fortiter punctato-striatis , squamis subalbidis tessel- 

 latis ; pedibus nigris, dense squamosis, femoribus mox ante apicem 

 unnulo alhido squamosa latiore. L. 2 lin. 



Hab. In insula Santa Maria semel captus. 



Bruchus breweri, n. sp. 



B. niger, pube grisea dense vestitus ; thorace profunde parce punc- 

 tato, catialicula basali abbreviatu ; elytris punctato-striatis, inter- 



* veos, new, KV))nt], tibia, in allusion to the form of those parts heing al)- 

 noniial in the family.
