thighs unarmed ; tibiæ armed with a very minute incurved spine or spur ; 
tarsi not dilated, penultimate joint bipartite. | 
At first sight the species of this little group would be set aside as 
belonging to Szfora Germer, with which they possess many characters in 
common ; a closer inspection, however, will satisfactorily prove that they 
belong to different genera. In the genus just named, the rostrum is 
shorter, thicker, and channelled ; the knob of the antennæ consists only 
of three joints, the bed of the scape turns below the eye ; the eye itself is 
round : the antepectus is not emarginate, or lobed; the tibiæ have no 
incurved spine. 
[200.| 267. Macrops macuLicoLiis Kzrby,—Plate viii, fig. 4.— 
Length of body 2 lines. ‘Two specimens taken in Lat. 65°. 
Body black, rather hoary from decumbent hairs and scales. Rostrum 
very minutely punctured ; ridge reaching from the base to the apex ; stalk 
of the antennæ a dull-red : prothorax minutely and thickly punctured, 
obsoletely ridged, having the sides, especially at the base, covered with 
little white scales: elytra furrowed, furrows punctured : tibiæ, tarsi, and 
base of the thighs of a dull obscure red, posterior thighs on the inside 
more distinctly rufous. 
268. Macroprs virricotiis A%7by.—Length of body 2% lines. A 
single specimen taken. 
Body covered with brownish-black scales. Rostrum ridged at the 
tip, the rest covered with scales, which perhaps conceal the remainder of 
the ridge ; stalk of the antennæ rufous: prothorax with three narrow pale 
stripes, the lateral ones a little waved: scutellum pale ; elytra slightly 
furrowed ; furrows minutely punctured ; mottled with pale: tibiz and 
tarsi, the former obscurely, rufous. 
[201.] GENUS LEPIDOPHORUS. 
Body covered with scales. Antennae longer than the head, eleven- 
jointed ; scape as long as the remainder of the antennae, reaching to the 
eye, growing gradually thicker towards the apex ; pedicel as long as the 
two following joints, obconical ; the remaining joints of the stalk rather 
top-shaped ; knob three-jointed, ovate, acute ; rostrum shorter than the 
prothorax, thick, subcylindrical, straight; bed of the scape of the antennae 
very short, not reaching the eye; eyes subobtusangular, with the vertex 
downwards: prothorax rather longer than wide, barrel-shaped : elytra 
taken together oblong-oval: scutellum punctiform : thighs clubbed, un- 
armed; tibiae armed at the apex with a short incurved spine ; penultimate 
joint of the tarsi bilobed.
