posticis quatuor totis piceis ; thorace sub crebre punctato ; 

 elytris crebre punctato-striatis, fulvis, margine exterior!

Head rather strongly punctured, eyes not contiguous at 

 their apices ; antennas shorter than the head and thorax, 

 six outer joints thickened and dilated, six lower ones 

 fulvous, the rest black ; labruni fulvous. Thorax nearly 

 twice as broad as long at the base ; sides obliquely con- 

 verging and sinuate at the base, rounded at the middle, 

 thence obliquely converging to the apex, hinder angles 

 very acute ; basal margin oblique and faintly bisinuate on 

 either side, medial lobe strongly produced, slightly reflexed, 

 its apex very acute ; upper surface subconic, cylindrical 

 at the apex, apical margin bordered by a transverse 

 groove ; strongly and closely punctured on the sides, 

 more finely and less closely punctured on the disk. Scu- 

 tellum narrowly ovate-lanceolate. Elytra scarcely broader 

 than the base of the thorax, broadly oblong, slightly 

 attenuated towards the apex, convex, closely covered with 

 longitudinal rows of punctures ; the interspaces plane, 

 obsoletely convex near the outer margin. Prosternum 

 slightly broader than long, the anterior border obliquely 

 deflexed, the hinder margin truncate, very slightly con- 

 cave, hinder angles produced, acute. 



Coenobius fulvipes. 



Ovatus, valde convexus, piceus, nitidus; subtus ob- 

 scurior, pedibus pallide tulvis; thorace fortiter, minus 

 remote punctato ; elytris tenuiter punctato-striatis, inter- 

 spatiis ad apicem et ad marginem exteriorem convexis.

Eyes large, contiguous at their apices; two lower joints of 

 antennas pale fulvous;* face rugulose, fiilvo-piceous, vertex 

 black, labrum fulvous. Thorax rather more than t-odce 

 as broad as long ; sides rounded and quickly converging 

 from base to apex, the hinder angles posteriorly produced, 

 acute ; basal margin oblique, bisinuate on either side, the 

 medial lobe acute ; above transversely convex, cylindrical 

 at the apex ; surface more coarsely and rather more 



* The other joints in the only specimen known to me arc broken away.
