Inophleus rhesus. 
I. ovatus, fuscus, leviter griseo-squamosus, supra setulis adspersus ; 
rostro prothorace breviore; antennis ferrugineis; funiculo arti- 
culis secundo, tertio, quarto subequalibus, modice elongatis ; 
clava minus elongata ; prothorace rugoso, ante medium latiore : 
scutello parvo ; elytris subcordatis, dorso ad suturam postice den- 
tato-produetis, versus apicem verticaliter declivibus, seriatim fovea- 
tis, singulis costis tribus munitis ; tibiis minus elongatis. Long. 81 
lin. 
Hab.: Lake Guyon. 
Allied to the preceding ; but, inter alia, there is a small but very distinct 
seutellum. 
Inophleus vitiosus. 
I. subangustus, niger, nitidus, squamis concoloribus adspersus ; rostro 
prothorace fere duplo breviore, apice squamositate grisea tecto, costis 
lateralibus obsoletis; antennis piceis ; funieuli articulo secundo 
quam primo longiore; prothorace equato, latitudine longiore, ante 
medium latiore; scutello minuto; elytris elongato-cordatis basi 
depressis, postice singulis in mare acute productis, apicem versus ad 
suturam carinato-elevatis, supra striato-punctatis, punctus sat re- 
motis, bene determinatis; tibiis posticis paulo flexuosis. Long. 
81 lin. 
Hab.: Lake Guyon. 
A somewhat aberrant species. A specimen, apparently the female, has 
the elytra less produced and the apex more rounded.

ty areuatum, basi angustius ; scrobes medianze, foveiformes. 
Oculi, parvi, ovales, grosse granulati, a prothorace distantes. Seapus 
antennarum clavatus; funiculus T-artieulatus, articulis a secundo 
sensim crassioribus ; clava distincta. Prothorax suboblongus, irregu- 
laris, lobis ocularibus obsoletis. Scutellum nullum. Elytra brevia, 
ovata, angulis anticis porrectis. Pedes breviusculi ; Jemora in medio 
incrassata; tibia subflexuose, apice mucronate ; tarsi articulis 
tribus basalibus transversis, penultimo integro, supra excavato, 
ultimo valido. Abdomen segmentis duobus basalibus connatis, 
ampliatis. 
On the whole this genus may be considered as being most nearly allied 
to the European Dichotrachelus ; but in four species of that genus, which I 
have examined, I do not find the penultimate tarsal joint entire, as stated
