picescentibus ; vertice foveis duabus magnis; prothorace basi trifoveolato, 
foyeis lateralibus magnis, sulco curvato profundo conjunctis ; elytris abbre-

Antenne pilose, rather stout, fifth joint distinctly longer than the con- 
tiguous ones ; ninth joint hardly broader than the eigth ; tenth transverse, 
nearly twice as broad as the ninth; eleventh joint large, a little broader 
than the tenth, distinctly pointed at the extremity. Apical joints of maxil- 
lary palpi stout. The part of the head in front of the antenne distinctly 
rostrate; the upper surface of the head with two very large pubescent 
fover between the eyes. Thorax subglobose, in front of the base with a 
very deep curved impression, terminating on each side in.a large fovea, and 
in its middle impressed with a small and not very distinct fovea. Elytra 
not longer than the thorax, rounded at the sides, and greatly narrowed at 
the base ; convex, without strie or humeral impression, but emarginate on 
each side at the extremity. Hind body very convex, all its dorsal segments 
about equal in length. 
Bryaxis micans, n. sp. Rufescens, nitida, impunctata, setis. elongatis,
