others apical, the fifth stria reaches the middle, the fourth is a 

 little shorter, the suturai a little longer. The propygidium is 

 rather irregularly and coarsely punctate anteriorly, with a nar- 

 row smooth margin behind; pygidium is impunctate with two 

 marginal sulci which are connected apically with a stria, at the 

 base the stria may be said to be interrupted. The general form" 

 of the pygidium corresponds with that in E, lunatica Mars., but 

 the sulci and striae are not nearly so deep. The anterior lobe 

 of the prosternum has large confluent punctures on either side, 

 central space punctulate, the keel is without sculpture and 

 gradually, but very moderately, widens out to the base. The 

 mesosternum and metasternum have no visible suture. The me- 

 sosternum is straight in front with a marginal stria behind the 

 keel of the prosternum, which divides into two at the sides and 

 both then continue as lateral striae to the base of the metaster- 

 num. I think Phelister discordans Mars, belongs to this genus.

This species was erroneously recorded in the first memoir 

 instead of tener Marseul, and 1 am aware now that marginicollis 

 Lew. is only a colour variety of Schaumi.
