tured and slightly rugulose, elytra narrowly margined. Head concealed 
under the prothorax, short and broad; eyes distant, convex, moderate in 
size, finely granulated; antenne inserted just in front of the eyes, moder- 
ately widely separated at base, eleven jointed, strongly pectinated, the 
processes fusiform and with a distinct joint at point of attachment so 
that they can be either adducted or abducted, first joint somewhat trian- 
gular, hardly longer than wide, second shorter and narrower, transverse, 
third triangular, longer and broader than second, outer margin oblique, 
joints 4-10 triangular, longer than broad and each with a fusiform internal 
appendage almost as long, as long, or slightly longer than the joint’ and 
arising about the middle or beyond, the eleventh elongated and somewhat 
rounded at apex, not acute sinuate; front concave behind the antenne, 
convex in front; labrum transverse, with front margin emarginate, dis- 
tinctly separated from the front; mandibles acute and toothed; palpi mod- 
erate in length, maxillary longer, last joint somewhat fusiform and pointed 
at tip. Prothorax transverse, lateral and apical margins of moderate 
width, reflexed, and thickened at edge, posterior margin less distinctly 
defined. Scutellum small, somewhat quadrilateral. Elytra with rounded 
humeri, elongate, subparallel, broadest one third distance from apex, disc 
rather flat, without strie or distinctly elevated lines but more or less-uni- 
formly granulose, side margin narrow and but slightly reflexed, epipleure 
hardly evident. Front cox conical, contiguous, middle coxz quadrate, 
contiguous, hind coxz narrow, transverse, contiguous. Legs slender, tro- 
chanters on the inner side of thighs, tarsi with joints 1-4 gradually shorter, 
third and fourth slightly lobed beneath, fifth slender, claws somewhat 
dilated at base. Abdomen with seven ventral segments. 
This peculiar genus, which I have founded upon G. discoidea 
and to which I have also added a second new and closely related 
species, occupies a somewhat anomalous place in the family. It 
appears to be more closely related to Matheteus than to any other 
genus in our fauna and like it has the contiguous middle coxe, 
characteristic of the subfamily to which that belongs, as well as 
the pectinate antenne, though they are of a different type. It, 
however, has the facies and hardly discernible epipleurz of cer- 
tain of the elongate members of the preceding subfamily Lycide. 
Ginglymocladus discoidea n. sp—Elongate, subparallel, flattened, black 
except entire border of prothorax, basal, lateral, and sutural margin of 
elytra, V-shaped impression on front, clypeus, labrum, underside of head, 
prothorax and mesosternum, parts of coxe and trochanters, which are 
rose-colored, and the tips of last joint of antenne and palpi, the last two 
tarsal joints, the last abdominal segment and posterior margin of preced- 
ing, which are ferruginous. Head with broad V-shaped depression on
