trum, 64; width, 103 mm.

Belonging to the fribulus group, but abundantly distinct 
from any with which I am acquainted. In both sexes there 
is a feeble subconical process on each side in front of the an- 
terior coxæ. 
LEPTOPS BRACHYSTYLUS, n. SP- 
Male. Densely clothed with somewhat ochreous scales (vari- 
able individually to a mottled sooty black); abdomen with 
sooty scales, the sides subochreous ; each of the femora with a 
feeble sooty ring. Above with rather sparse, stout веб, 
scarcely denser on rostrum than on prothorax, antenne 
densely setose, the sete increasing in length to apex of 
funicle; legs and sides of abdomen with rather long, pale 
Seta. 
Head feebly convex, а deep linear impression between 
eyes. Rostrum stout; feebly grooved in middle, nowhere 
with shining carina; between middle and each side with a 
strong and strongly curved deep sulcus, which opens pos- 
teriorly near the upper base of rostrum. Scrobes short, deep, 
oblique, terminated considerably before and beneath eyes. 
Antennz rather stout; scape short (scarcely the length of 
four basal joints of funicle), considerably enlarged to apex; 
second joint of funicle slightly longer than first, the joints 
from the third to fifth feebly decreasing, the sixth and seventh 
feebly increasing in length; club the length of three preced- 
ing joints. Prothorax transverse (34 x 3%); subtuberculate ; 
niore or less irregularly excavated in middle, a transverse 
impression continued across middle, an impression on each 
side of apex. #lytra considerably wider than prothorax; 
shoulders oblique, tuberculate; sides subparallel to near 
apex; seriate-punctate, punctures moderately large, round, 
deep, distant ; each with twelve conical tubercles, four on the 
third, including the three largest, the fourth largest of all, 
and at summit of posterior declivity, between it and apex, а 
very small tubercle; three on the fifth, two on the seventh, 
one on shoulder, and a small one slightly behind it. Length, 
12%; rostrum, 31; ; width, 53 mm. 
Female. Differs in having shorter and more rounded elytra, 
tubercles larger at base, and subconical, and antennæ shorter 
and stouter. Length, 144; width, 7% mm.
