but were accidentally omitted in my accouut given in a former 

 number of this journal (Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. xiii. 1884, 

 p. 276). The discovery of two new species of the genus 

 Ectemnorhmus, the species of which have hitherto only been 

 found in Kerguelen, is interesting, especially as they are 

 somewhat intermediate in their characters between E. viridis 

 and E. angusticollis in the case of the larger species, and 

 between E, gracilipes and E. hrevis in that of the smaller. 



Ectemnorhinus similis, n. sp. 



Branneus, sparsim viridi-flavo-squamulosus ; elytris fortiter striatis, 



striis punctatis. 

 Long. 3| lin. (7 millim.). 



This species is somewhat intermediate between E. viridis 

 and E. angusticollis'^ ^ but differs from both iu being sparingly 

 covered with minute elongate scales. The antennae are very 

 similar to those of E. viridis, but a trifle longer. The first 

 and second joints of the funiculus are long, the first being a 

 little longer than the second, whereas in E. viridis the first is 

 a little shorter than the second ; the third and fourth joints 

 are at least as long as broad ; the fifth, sixth, and seventh joints 

 are a little shorter. The thorax is considerably narrowed in 

 front and behind, convex, with a very slight indication of a 

 median carina. Elytra at the base a little broader than the 

 thorax (with distinct but very obtuse shoulders), considerably 

 broader posteriorly ; strongly striated, the strise rather strongly 

 punctured ; the apex of each elytron broadly rounded. The 

 claw -joints are rather larger than iu E. viridis^ but not nearly 

 so large as in E. Eatoni (Ent. Mo. Mag. xiii. 1876, p. 51). 



Slightly immature specimens have the legs yellow, and 

 sometimes the elytra are yellowish. 



EctemnorMnus parvuluSy n. sp. 



Niger, parce viridi-squamulosus ; antennis gracilibus ; thorace 

 angusto, medio carinato ; elytris obovatis, fortiter striatis, striis 

 fortiter punctatis. 



Long. 4 millim. 



This could only be confounded with E. gracilipes^ which it 

 closely resembles in general form and colour. It is, however, 

 a little shorter, and more ample posteriorly. The funiculus 

 of the antennae is much more slender ; the first and second 

 joints long and slender, the third and fourth shorter, the fifth 

 and sixth a trifle longer than broad, the seventli nearly globular.
