again as the third. The eyes are large and prominent, situated 

 nearer to the occiput than to the base of the mandibles. 



Ephutomorpha gilesi, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. figs. 1 <S , 2 $ .) 



5 . Mandibles slightly bent at the base, straight and pointed 

 at the apex, with a strong tubercle on the outer margin near the base, 

 the inner margin apparently without teeth. Head much narrower 

 than the thorax, rounded at the posterior angles, denexed and 

 narrowed anteriorly, finely and shallowly punctured, a curved 

 carina on each side running from the antennal tubercle nearly 

 to the eye ; the head below the carina strongly depressed. Scape 

 punctured and clothed with long greyish-white pubescence ; the 

 second joint of the ttagellum nearly half as long again as the third. 

 Eyes large, strongly convex, situated much nearer to the occiput 

 than to the base of the mandibles. Thorax very coarsely reti- 

 culated, pro- and mesopleurse coarsely punctured ; the thorax 

 pyriform, straight on the anterior margin, narrowed and steeply 

 sloped posteriorly, strongly convex. First abdominal segment 

 short, shining, sparsely and finely punctured, much narrower 

 than the second, which is strongly raised at the base above the 

 first, shining and sparsely but very coarsely and deeply punctured, 

 with a very large, cordiform, shallow depression in the middle, 

 more finely punctured ; the third, fourth, and fifth segments finely 

 and closely punctured ; the apical segment without hairs, longi- 

 tudinally striated. First ventral segment with a strong carina ; 

 second segment subtuberculate at the base in the middle and 

 slightly depressed on each side, very coarsely but rather sparsely 

 punctured, the apical margin strongly and broadly depressed ; 

 the remaining segments delicately reticulate at the base, closely 

 and finely punctured at the apex. 



Black, clothed with greyish pubescence, longest and closest on 

 the head and sides of the thorax and abdomen and everywhere 

 interspersed with long, erect, black hairs ; a patch of silver-white 

 pubescence at the apex of the five basal abdominal segments, that 

 on the first the largest and with the hairs directed forward ; 

 the depression on the second dorsal segment clothed with grey 

 pubescence. 



Length 14-18 mm. 



J . Mandibles a little curved, with a feeble tooth on the inner 

 margin, pointed at the apex. Head small, much narrower than 

 the thorax, closely and finely punctured and covered with greyish 

 pubescence ; strongly rounded behind the eyes, without distinct 

 posterior angles. Eyes large and convex, situated not very far 

 from the base of the mandibles ; the ocelli small, the two posterior 

 ocelli much nearer to each other than to the eyes. Scape punctured 

 above and clothed with long pubescence, shining beneath and 

 deeply hollowed ; the second joint of the flagellum much shorter 

 than the third. Thorax closely and finely punctured, the pro- 

 notum slightly narrowed anteriorly and rounded at the angles, 

 clothed with long and very pale fulvous pubescence, the pubescence
