Amarygmus sp. 

 Mimika Eiver ; 1. 



Two specimens, apparently representing new species, are not sufficiently distinct to 

 warrant description on such scanty material.

Utakwa Kiver ; 3. {Including the type of the species.) 



Nearly related to S. macleayi Pascoe ; the eyes are separated by a space about 

 equal to half the width of one of them, the clypeus has a transverse impression rather 

 behind the middle and the clypeal suture is strongly sulcata; tne prothorax is trans- 

 verse, slightly broader in front than behind, completely bordered, posterior and anterior 

 margins almost straight, the sides slightly sinuate ; the anterior angles are obliquely 

 truncate ; the disc is rather uneven, polished, and almost im punctate, save for some 

 large punctures in an impressed area before the base and a few more towards the 

 middle of the anterior border. The elytra are about half as broad again as the base of 

 the prothorax, with the shoulders rounded, thence parallel for rather more than half 

 their length ; the tips are slightly divergent. The punctures in the series are much 

 finer towards the suture and towards the apex ; they are irregularly placed, but with a 

 strong tendency to run in pairs. The underside is pitchy brown, smooth, and shining, 

 the mesosternum excavated for the reception of the prosternal process ; the last abdo- 

 minal segment is finely punctate. The femora are slightly thickened beyond the middle 

 and all the tibise sinuate.
