verse (32 x 44), with a number of rather large, deep, and ir- 
regular impressions. ølytra about once and one-half the 
width of prothorax at base, more parallel-sided than is usual 
in the genus, base of each ‘strongly produced in the middle; 
shoulders oblique, tuberculate; seriate-punctate, punctures 
strong, deep, moderately close, subgeminate; third and sixth 
interstices tuberculate from base, the tubercles of third ter- 
minating in a large one before summit of posterior declivity, 
the fifth with a larger one at or just below summit, a small 
tubercle on each side equidistant between summit and apex. 
Legs moderately long; femora thicker than usual. Length, 
154; rostrum, 32 ; width, 62 mm.

The specimen described when received by me was labelled 
“Leptops tuberculata, Bohem.” ; it is, however, not that spe- 
cies, from which (and all its allies known to me) it may be 
at once distinguished by the position of the four larger 
tubercles, the inner pair being anterior to the outer, instead 
of posterior as is usually the case. 
LEPTOPS CANALICULATUS, n. Sp. 
Male. Sparsely clothed with pale, short setose scales, caus- 
ing the derm (both of upper and under surface) to appear 
shghtly hoary; scutellum and rostral excavations densely 
Squamose; antenne and legs with somewhat glassy scales, 
intermingled with short, stout, pale sete. 
Пеай wide, three impressions between eyes, of which the 
median one is largest. Rostrum wide, strongly dilated to 
apex; two strong median channels separated by a strong, 
rounded, and narrow carina; sulcate towards each side; 
sciobes deep, curved, posteriorly turned up, and joining in 
with sulei and continued as the lateral impressions near eyes. 
Antenne short, rather stout; first joint of funicle as long as 
second, but apparently shorter. Prothorax transverse (6 x 8), 
sides rounded, decreasing from near apex to base; a strong 
subquadrate excavation in front of middle; with numerous 
irregular, shining, vermiform elevations, and with a few 
granules or small tubercles towards apex. Elytra oblong- 
ovate, not much wider than prothorax at base; densely and 
coarsely punctate, punctures separated by narrow transverse 
ridges; third interstice with a row of tubercles, small and 
rounded at base, becoming larger and conical towards and the 
largest terminating at summit of posterior declivity; fifth 
interstice with a few small tubercles in middle, seventh with 
smaller but more acute tubercles than on third, the largest 
just below summit of declivity, the next largest and the most 
acute between it and apex; a small conical tubercle on each 
side of suture below summit. Abdomen irregular towards
