1-4 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on new Genera 



CossypJius pusillus. 



C. sublatiusculus, testaceo-piceus, modice marginatus, margiuibus 

 conspicue reticulatis ; scutello valde transverso, postice rotun- 

 dato ; elytris sat rude seriatim puiictatis. Long. 2 lin. 



Ilah. Rangoon. 



Less broadly ovate, not narrowed behind, testaceous pitclij, 

 the margins of the normal breadth and very obviously reticu- 

 late ; prothorax finely punctured ; scutellum very transverse, 

 rounded behind ; elytra rather coarsely punctured in somewhat 

 irregular rows ; legs slender. 



About the size of G. pygmceuSj but more broadly rounded 

 in front, and the margins very distinctly reticulated. As in 

 the preceding species, the elytra are without raised lines, 

 except at the suture. 



Cyrtotyche qxiadra. 



G. fulvo-picea ; prothorace vix transverso, tuberculis quatuor, duo 

 apice minora, duo fere in medio majora, instructo ; tibiis sub- 

 rectis. Long. 4 lin. 



Hob. Delagoa Bay. 



Ovate, fulvous pitchy ; front of the head and clypeus coarsely 

 and densely punctured ; antennge blackish, last four joints 

 forming the club ; prothorax not broader than the elytra, con- 

 vex above, narrowed at the base, four glossy tubercles on the 

 disk, the two smaller near the apex, the two larger in the 

 middle, one opaque tubercle on each side, and another (carini- 

 form) below, the intervals coarsely and irregularly foveate ; 

 elytra broadest behind the middle, closely tuberculate, the 

 larger tubercles in two rows on each elytron, close to and 

 nearly confined to the sutural region a row of punctures 

 with smaller tubercles accompanying them ; body beneath 

 and legs brownish, not glossy, abdomen punctured j femora 

 and tibige roughly punctured, the latter nearly straight j 

 anterior tarsal joints, except the last, very short. 



Very distinct from C. satanas, the only other species, but 

 unmistakably congeneric, although the character of curved 

 tibige must now be dropped. C. satanas is a darker and much 

 larger species, and has four oblong tubercles disposed trans- 

 versely across the middle of the prothorax j the tubercles on 

 the elytra are conical and more irregularly distributed, and 

 the tibias are remarkably curved, but only towards the apex. 

 Lacordaire has figured the species in his 'Atlas ' (pi. Iv. fig. 5), 

 but has erroneously applied to it the name of a species of an 

 allied genus — Eutelus nodosus.
