New Genera and Species. 
Group 1. AURENICIDES. 
APHILESTHES. 
Corpus elongatum, robustum, lineare, subdepressum, dense breviter 
pilosum. Caput exsertum ; oculi magni, convexi; frons brevissima 
et angusta, 1hfra paullo retracta. Antennee corpore multo breviores, 
a basiad apicem subtus sparsim ciliate, articulo tertio ceteris haud 
longiore. Thorax valde transversus, medio rotundato-dilatatus. 
Elytra parallela, apice singulatim rotundata, paullulum convexa, 
absque carinis. Prosternum ante pedes vix elongatum, concavum, 
coxis conicis valde exsertis. Episterna metathoracica latiuscula, 
parallela. Tibisxe intermedie fortiter emarginate. 
The head is similar in shape to that of the typical Wrenice, 
the forehead being scarcely prolonged below the voluminous 
eyes. ‘The mouth, however, is not so distant from the ante- 
rior haunches as in Arenica, owing to the shorter and more 
concave anterior part of the prosternum and the long exserted 
coxe. ‘The terminal ventral segment in the female is very 
large, and broad at the apex, with an impressed central line. 
-Aphilesthes rustica. 
Rufo-fusca, pube cinereo-flava dense vestita et breviter erecte pilosa ; 
thorace lateribus late elytrisque marginibus anguste flavis; femo- 
ribus supra et geniculis rufo-testaceis.

ante medium maculis duabus rotundatis (transversim positis) li- 
turaque curvata fascieeformi ante apicem testaceo-albis ; thorace
