  of 
  

  

  Heliopathes 
  (Olocrates) 
  latipennis, 
  n. 
  sp. 
  

  

  Moderately 
  elongate, 
  rather 
  convex, 
  dull 
  black 
  ; 
  the 
  head 
  verj'- 
  

   densely 
  and 
  rugosely 
  punctured, 
  the 
  eyes 
  completely 
  divided 
  by 
  the 
  

   genae 
  ; 
  the 
  prothorax 
  broader 
  than 
  long, 
  transversely 
  convex, 
  semi- 
  

   circularly 
  emarginate 
  in 
  front, 
  finely 
  margined 
  at 
  the 
  sides 
  and 
  

   base, 
  ixioderately 
  rounded 
  at 
  the 
  sides 
  anteriorly, 
  gradually 
  nar- 
  

   rowed 
  posteriorly, 
  and 
  subparallel 
  at 
  the 
  extreme 
  base, 
  the 
  hind 
  

   angles 
  prominent, 
  rectangular 
  or 
  a 
  little 
  projecting, 
  the 
  entire 
  

   surface 
  very 
  densely 
  and 
  uniformly 
  punctured, 
  and 
  with 
  traces 
  of 
  

   a 
  smooth 
  median 
  line 
  ; 
  the 
  elytra 
  distinctly 
  wider 
  than 
  the 
  pro- 
  

   thorax, 
  convex, 
  moderately 
  long, 
  widest 
  about 
  the 
  middle, 
  parallel 
  

   towards 
  the 
  base, 
  with 
  the 
  humeri 
  projecting 
  in 
  front 
  and 
  excavate 
  

   within 
  for 
  the 
  reception 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  angles 
  of 
  the 
  prothorax, 
  finely 
  

   striate, 
  the 
  striae 
  with 
  rather 
  coarse 
  not 
  very 
  closely 
  placed 
  punc- 
  

   tiu'es, 
  the 
  interstices 
  thickly 
  and 
  minutely 
  punctured, 
  feebly 
  con- 
  

   vex 
  ; 
  legs 
  stout, 
  the 
  anterior 
  tibiae 
  triangularly 
  dilated, 
  but 
  not 
  

   very 
  broadly 
  so, 
  the 
  anterior 
  tarsi 
  simple. 
  Length 
  9 
  — 
  10, 
  breadth 
  

   4 
  — 
  4|, 
  millim. 
  

  

  Tetuan, 
  Marocco. 
  Three 
  examples, 
  theu' 
  sex 
  not 
  

   ascertained. 
  

  

  Closely 
  allied 
  to 
  H. 
  planiusculus, 
  Muls., 
  but 
  duller, 
  

   less 
  elongate, 
  and 
  more 
  convex 
  ; 
  the 
  head 
  and 
  thorax 
  

   less 
  finely 
  punctured 
  ; 
  the 
  thorax 
  a 
  little 
  broader 
  at 
  the 
  

   base, 
  and 
  not 
  so 
  strongly 
  constricted 
  at 
  the 
  sides 
  behind 
  ; 
  

   the 
  elytra 
  very 
  distinctly 
  broader 
  than 
  the 
  thorax, 
  more 
  

   coarsely 
  punctate-striate, 
  the 
  interstices 
  very 
  feebly 
  but 
  

   distinctly 
  convex 
  ; 
  the 
  anterior 
  tibiae 
  less 
  widened 
  towards 
  

   the 
  apex. 
  In 
  the 
  prominent 
  humeri 
  this 
  species 
  ap- 
  

   proaches 
  the 
  genus 
  Phylax, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  evidently 
  better 
  

   placed 
  in 
  the 
  Olocrates 
  section 
  of 
  Heliopathes 
  ; 
  it 
  agrees, 
  

   in 
  fact, 
  in 
  most 
  of 
  its 
  characters, 
  with 
  H. 
  planiusculus, 
  

   which 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  those 
  species 
  Avith 
  the 
  anterior 
  tarsi 
  

   undilated 
  in 
  the 
  male. 
  The 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  humeri 
  sepa- 
  

   rates 
  it 
  from 
  Micrositus, 
  and 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  tibiae 
  

   from 
  Litohorus. 
  

  

  Pseiidolamus 
  pusillus, 
  Baudi 
  {scriatojwrus, 
  Fairm.).* 
  

  

  Gibraltar; 
  in 
  tufts 
  of 
  grass, 
  &:c., 
  Campo 
  Common; 
  

   rare. 
  Also 
  commonly 
  at 
  Ta,ngier, 
  and 
  rarely 
  at 
  Tetuan.
