and those on the head are short and broad, the head being but 

 little exserted and short ; the eyes are quite visible on the under 

 surface. All the coxge are moderately separated, the meta- 

 sternum rather short, though longer than in Goxelus. 



GrLTPHOCETPTlJS BEEVICOLLIS, U. Sp. 



Breviter suboblongus, parum convexus, opacus, rufescens, superne 

 squamulis griseis, brevissimis, suberectis vestitus ; bic inde subguttatus. 

 Long. 3 millim. 



Antennge rather slender, the ninth joint not at all broader than 

 the preceding, as long as broad, tenth forming a rather small 

 oval club. Head short and broad, densely squamose ; eyes 

 scarcely visible from above. Thorax about tvsrice as broad as 

 long, bisinuate in front, the anterior angles acute and prominent, 

 the medial lobe projecting nearly as far forwards as they, the 

 sides rounded in front, abruptly constricted to form a very short 

 space for the play of the front femora, the sculpture quite ob- 

 scured by very short coarse erect scales ; these extend to and 

 project over the lateral margin, where they form a solid border. 

 Elytra with their sculpture obscure, bearing rows of fuscous 

 scales, and here and there with more pallid scales, giving a very 

 obscurely spotted appearance ; the outline not at all sinuate 

 behind.

Labromimtjs, nov. gen. 

 Corpus suboblongum, parum convexum, dense squamosum, variegatum. 

 Antennae squamosse, 11-articulatse, clava minus abrupta, biarticulata. 

 Prothorax fortiter transversus, parum emarginatus, marginibus explanato- 

 elevatis. Tibiae graciles, lineares, tarsi articulo basali quam sequens 

 duplo longiore. 



This genus may be placed near Colohicus, though not apparently 

 very closely allied to any other yet characterized. The fact that 

 the antennse are clothed with variegated scales or setae will 

 greatly facilitate its recognition ; their basal joint has only its 

 extremity visible, the second short, conical, almost in fact tri- 

 angular, the ninth slightly transverse, the tenth and eleventh 

 forming a rather laxly articulated club, and not clothed with 

 scales like the others ; the eyes are large, and set with closely- 

 placed short scales. The terminal joint of the maxillary palpus is 

 thick, and is truncate at the apex ; the anteunal grooves are deep
