of intermediate turbinate, emarginate, of posterior triangular, 
lightly emarginate. 
Length 18.5, breadth 7 mm.

Following Chaudoir’s Revision of 1877 this fine species would 
be placed in section III, (“Episterna postica valde elongata, angusta’) 
in the group having “tarsi utringue sulcati’, a group which con- 
tained only Anchomemus corruscus, Erichs., from the Hawaiin Islands. 
The wide bisulcate tarsi, the 8" interstice narrowly carinate on 
the apical curve, and the 9% interstice narrow and interrupted 
by its seriate punctures are remarkable features of (©. Bennigseni. 
Oolpodes habilis, n. sp. 
Prothorax cordate, posterior angles marked, base obliquely 
rounded on each side; elytra ovate, lightly and widely impressed 
just before middle across interstices 2—7; 1° interstice shortly 
mucronate at apex, 8" not carinate towards apex, 9'% depressed, 
seriate-punctate. Black, elytra (including 9% interstice) chalybeus. 
Head large (2.3 mm across eyes); vertex lightly convex; 
front biimpressed. Prothorax broader than long (2.35 x 3.1 mm), 
widest at middle, narrower across apex (2.15 mm) than across 
base (2.35 mm); sides rounded, subsinuate before posterior 
angles; apex bordered, very lishtly emarginate, angles rounded; 
base bordered, truncate, sloping roundly forward on each side to 
posterior angles, these marked; lateral margins wide, reflexed, 
strongly reflexed posteriorly; posterior basal impressions deeply 
concave and reaching to reflexed lateral margins; posterior 
marginal seta on edge of margin just before posterior angles. 
Elytra wide (8.6 x 5.2 mm), lightly convex; striae lichtly 
impressed, minutely cerenulate ; interstices lightly convex, third 
3-punctate, — anterior puncture near 3’@ stria, intermediate near 
2rd stria, posterior a little before apical declivity near 2"4 stria. 
Tarsi (8): anterior dilatate, joints non-sulcate; four posterior 
tarsi with joints bisulcate; 4% joint of four anterior tarsi deeply 
emarginate, of posterior sub-emarginate. 
Length 13, breadth 5.2 mm.

Like ©. Bennigseni this species also comes into Chaudoirs 
Section III, in which he would have indicated its position in the 
group characterised by having “Tarsı posteriores utringue sulcati. 
Tarsi articulo quinto utringue haud ciliato. Tarsi antici utringue haud 
sulcati (Klytra apice plus minusve dentata)”. It is larger than any
