10 Mr. C. O. Waterhouse's descriptions of 



Elytrurus divaricatus, sp. n. 



Elongato-ellipticus, niger, squamulis sabulosis dense tec- 

 tus ; rostro obsolete tricarinato ; tliorace tuberculis nitidis 

 adspersis ; elytris vix convexis, ante medium rotundato- 

 ampliatis, apicem versus angustatis, apicibus acuminatis 

 divaricatis, supra striato-punctatis, punctis squamiferis, in- 

 terstiis tuberculis parvis vix perspicuis parce adspersis. 



Long. 6 lin. ; lat. elytr. 2^ lin. 



Rostrum with a central, longitudinal carina, and on each 

 side of it a less distinct, oblique, slightly interrupted ridge. 

 Antennas with the 2nd joint of the funiculus about one- 

 third longer than the 1st. Thorax scarcely broader than 

 long, gently convex, with not very small, shining tubercles 

 sparingly scattered over the surface ; a little narrowed in 

 front, the sides slightly arcuate, sub-parallel behind the 

 middle. Elytra not broader than the thorax at their base, 

 but rather suddenly becoming broader to the basal third, 

 and then gradually narrowed towards the apex ; the apices 

 acuminate and distinctly diverging, blunt at the tip ; lineate- 

 punctate, the punctures each filled with a scale ; the sides 

 anteriorly are somewhat rounded, and are not distinctly 

 car in ate laterally. 



Closely allied to the preceding, but relatively shorter 

 and broader ; the apices of the elytra are rather more 

 diverging and are more blunted at the tip.

Elytrurus serrulatus, sp. n. 



Elongatus, parum convexus, antice posticeque angus- 

 tatus, squamulis parvis sabulosis et griseo-seneis tectus, 

 granulosus ; elytris lateribus subcarinatis serrulatis, apicibus 

 parum divaricatis. 



Long. 6| lin.; lat. elytr. 2\ lin. 



Rostrum with a broad central longitudinal shallow im- 

 pression. Thorax scarcely one-fifth broader than long, 

 gently convex, moderately closely covered with shining 

 granules, a little more narrowed in fi-ont than behind, the 

 sides gently rounded. Elytra not wider than the thorax 

 at their base, three and one-third times longer, slightly 

 arched, gradually widened to the middle and thence nar- 

 rowed again to the apex, the apices somewhat acute and 

 =lightly diverging. The whole surface moderately thickly 

 covered with very small shining granules, which have a
