This form is so remarkable that I at first supposed the legs were deformed ; 
but, after a careful examination, I have concluded that it is more probably 
natural. Except for the characters mentioned above, the insect closely 
resembles the Female of B. dispar. 
Bryawis impar, n. sp. Rufescens, nitida, glabra, vertice bifoveolato ; 
clypeo antice transversim impresso ; elytris stria suturali minus profunda. 
Long. corp. 14 mm. ; 
Mas., antennis 10-articulatis, art. 9° maximo ; metastorno late sed 
parum profunde impresso ; abdomine segmento basali ventrali apice bituber- 
culato. 
Fem., antennis 11-articulatis, art. 9°, 10° que transversis ; metasterno 
abdomineque simplicibus. : 
Antenne, stout and short (except for the two terminal joints in the 
male ; the basal joint short, its visible part not longer than the second joint ; 
the ninth joint in the male excessively developed, longer than broad, and on 
the inside it is a little cut away at the extremity, and the tenth joint in the 
Same sex is only about half the bulk of the ninth ; in the female, the 
seventh and eighth joints are extremely small; the ninth joint is also very 
short, but much broader than the eighth ; and the tenth joint, which is also 
short, and very transverse, is considerably broader than the ninth, the 
eleventh joint being comparatively large. The head is smooth and shining; - 
it has in the frontal depression two indistinct fover, and the vertex has also 
two very small fover. The thorax is about as long as broad, smooth, and 
shining, without impressions or fover. The elytra are very elongate, quite 
smooth and shining, and show only on each a single fine sutural stria. 
The hind body is very short and deflexed ; the legs are slender. 
Bryaxis grata, n. sp. Rufescens, nitida, fere glabra ; antenne in 
utroque sexu 11-articulate, articulis penultimis parvis; clypeo antice 
eequali haud impresso ; prothorace ante basin linea curvata impressa, medio 
_ desinente ; elytris stria suturali distineta, plicdque intra-humerali obsoleta ; 
capite subtus medio linea longitudinali elevata valde discreta ; pedibus 
minus elongatis. Long. corp. 12 mm. (vix). 
Mas., vertice bifoveolato ; metasterno late impresso ; abdomine segmento 
2°, 6° que transversim foveolatis (segmento 5° medio omnino carente). 
Femina, vertice equali; metasterno abdomineque haud impressis. 
Antenne (only differing in the sexes in that those of the male are 
slightly longer than those of the female, with the first joint short, its visible 
part about as long as the second joint ; third joint, more slender than, and 
about as long as the second joint ; joints, fourth to tenth, bead-like, the
