new species of Coleoptera from various localities. 9 



ante apicem in dente magno nitido expansis, apice acute 

 producto, deflexo. 



Long. 8 lin. ; lat. elytr. 4 3^ lin. 



Head with an elevated line commencing between the 

 eyes and extending to the apex of the rostrum. Thorax 

 gently convex, covered Avith rather large shining granules, 

 which become smaller and less close at the sides; the 

 sandy-coloured scales form a small spot next the scutellum. 

 Elytra at their base not broader than the thorax, becoming 

 regularly broader for two-thirds their length, where the 

 margin is more suddenly expanded into a large somewhat 

 triangular up-turned projection; from this projection to 

 the apex the elytra are very much narrowed and deflexed, 

 the apex of each being acute; the sides are only carinate 

 just before the lateral projection; the dorsal region is 

 rather flat, gently convex at the suture, distinctly striate- 

 punctate, the interstices not distinctly granular except at 

 the sides.

Elytrurus angulatus, sp. n, 



Ater ; rostro linea elevata nitida ; thorace granuloso ; 

 elytris basi thorace hand latioribus, postice f latioribus, 

 supra granulis nitidis adspersis, ante apicem utrinque for- 

 titer excisis, apice acuminato. 



Long. 7 lin. ; lat. elytr. 3^ lin. 



Much resembles the preceding species in form. The 

 thorax is a trifle narrower, but scarcely broader than long. 

 The elytra somewhat flattened, gently convex on the disk, 

 becoming regularly broader from the base to the posterior 

 two-thirds, from thence to the apex strongly emarginate 

 and acuminate, whence it happens that the margin has at 

 one-third from the apex a large, triangular tooth, as in the 

 preceding species, but it does not project laterally, as in 

 E. expansus, and its outer edge is a continuation of the 

 lateral carina (which in this species is continued to the 

 shoulder). The Avhole upper surface is moderately thickly 

 covered with small, round, shining tubercles, aud there 

 are no rows of punctures, as in the preceding species. 

 The apices of the elytra are a little separated from each 

 other, and arc less acute than in E. expansus.
