474 MR. C. O. WATERHOUSE ON THE l-^W' 5j 



not divided by a lamina, not prominent laterally. Head below with 

 a deep transverse impression, above with a ridge over each eye. 

 Epistoma with a somewhat acute projection in the middle of the 

 front margin, the labrum distinctly visible from above. Antennae 

 with the third joint scarcely twice as long as the second. Body not 

 very convex, not pubescent. Thorax as broad or rather broader 

 than long, the sides gently arcuate. The elytra with distinct 

 shoulders, about one third longer than 'the head and thorax together, 

 margined at the base, somewhat produced at the apex. 



The species upon which I establish this genus very much re- 

 sembles Thalpophila ahbremata, Fabr., in form, but is shining black 

 or without pubescence. It has, however, the gular line transverse 

 and not oblique at the sides, as in Thalpophila. I propose to place 

 it before Tentyria (following Dr. Kraatz in classification), so that it 

 may come in proximity to those genera which have the labrum 

 exposed. 



The second species closely resembles the first, but has the throat 

 more approaching that of Anatolica. 



The third species somewhat resembles a species of Dichomtna.

Long. &\-S\ hn. 



Head finely or moderately thickly punctured, with several irregular 

 longitudinal impressed lines on the forehead, deeply impressed within 

 the ocular ridge ; the clypeus produced in the middle into a point, 

 which is slightly bent down at the apex. Eyes not much convex, 

 slightly reniform, the upper part the larger, not so prominent as 

 the head in front of the eye, supported posteriorly by a swelling of 

 the neck. Thorax not quite twice as broad as the head, about one 

 fifth broader than long, only gently convex ; finely margined all 

 round, except in the middle of the anterior niargin ; arcuately emar- 

 ginate in front, slightly narrowed in front and behind ; the anterior 

 angles blunt ; the sides gently arcuate ; the posterior angles a little 

 greater than right angles and blunt ; the base scarcely sinuate 

 on each side, gently lobed in the middle. Scutellum small. Elytra 

 at their base not broader than the base of the thorax, and fitting 

 close to it, gradually and slightly widening to the middle, and then 

 again narrowed to the apex, not very convex, rather depressed on 

 the back ; rather strongly and obtusely sulcate, the interstices rather 

 convex, extremely delicately and not very closely punctured ; the apex 

 somewhat produced and impressed above. Antennae as long as the 

 head and half the thorax. Posterior tibiae closely and rather strongly 

 punctured on their upper edge, the punctures almost asperate.
