 parvis albis quatuor, e squamis condensatis, notatis, scil. singulis 

 una basali, altera apicali ; rostro piceo, prothorace triplo longiore, 

 lineato ut in prsecedente ; funiculo articulis duobus basalibus Eequali- 

 bus ; prothorace in medio sparse punctato, lateribus rugoso-punctatis ;

Lysteus. 



(Baridinse.) 



Rostrum paulo arcuatum, apicem versus gradatiin dilatatum, pro- 

 thorace longius ; scrohes antemedianse. Scopus oculum liaud 

 attiugens ; funiculus articulo primo ampliato, a secundo in cla- 

 vam gradatiin continuatus ; clava magna. OcuU rotundati, 

 prothoraci hand contigui, tenuiter granulati. Prothorax coni- 

 cus, apice truncatus, lobo scutellari late emarginato pro recep- 

 tions basis scutelli. Scutellum magnum. Elytra equilatera- 

 liter triangularia, humeris paulo producta, rotundata. Femora 

 subincrassata, infra dentata ; tihicE arcuatse. Pectus incurva- 

 tum ; prosternum postice breve. Coxce anticae fere contiguse. 

 Abdomen segmento primo ampliato, 



Tbe anterior coxae only feebly separated, and witli the usual 

 non-continuity of the line of the sterna, imply a technical position 

 of this genus near Madopterus ; but its trapezoid form compared 

 with the cylindrical one of the latter is not favourable to any consi- 

 deration of affinity. I have a second species from Tsusima, in the 

 Corean Straits, distinguished, inter alia, by its closely punctured 

 prothorax.
