be known at once by its black color with pale legs, unimpressed 

 pronotum, rather small eyes, inflated elytra with feeble basal 

 modifications, slender and elongate antennal funicle, and by the 

 greatly developed tibial spur of the male, this being oblique and 

 perfectly straight, gradually tapering throughout the length, and 

 fully I as long as the tarsus. The basal joint of the hind tarsi 

 is almost as long as the next three combined. A single example. 



65. C liiliduiu. n. sp. — Rather stout, suboval, polished and impunctate, 

 ^iceoiis, the legs and antennge scarcely paler ; elytra slightly paler and more 

 rufous ; pubescence abundant, moderately long, rather inclined and recurved, 

 -coarse and somewhat pale on the elytra, ffead about as long as wide, well 

 developed, subcircular behind, the eyes rather small but convex ; front not 

 distinctly impressed; clypeus somewhat rugose, the apex transverse, with a 

 Tery faint and broadly rounded projection at the middle; maxillary palpi long, 

 flavate. Antennee slender, % as long as the body, the club slender and quite 

 gradual, incrassate; second joint feebly obconic, J^ longer than wide, as long as 

 "the next two and much thicker; three to six equal in width, smooth and sub- 

 -cylindric ; third fully as long as wide ; four to six nearly equal and % longer 

 "than wide; seventh sculptured, }^ wider, cylindric, as long as wide; eighth 

 nearly % thicker, as long as wide, rounded at apex; ninth and tenth slightly 

 wider than the eighth and very nearly as long as wide; eleventh long, de- 

 cidedly thicker, fully as long as the two preceding, very obliquely and gradu- 

 ally conic and acutely pointed from behind the middle. Prothorax strongly 

 conic with very feebly arcuate sides, not quite as long as wide; apex slightly 

 inore than V2 as wide as the base, the latter scarcely more than }^ wider than 

 iihe head; surface distinctly biimpressed transversely near the base. Elytra 

 nearly % longer than wide, 2^4 times as long as the prothorax and about % 

 wider, narrow at apex, widest at basal %, the sides evenly and strongly arcu- 

 ate; humeral plica only moderate in length, strong at base but rapidly evanes- 

 cent, the subhumeral impression rather narrow and somewhat feeble but 

 moderately large ; foveas rather strong ; subsutural impressions narrow and 

 very feeble, the suture not definitely beaded. Abdomen with the basal segment 

 fringed at apex with long and contiguous porrect and membranous scales ; inter- 

 coxal process acute, with the angle slightly blunt. Legs well developed, the 

 femora strongly clavate, the posterior distinctly less so than the anterior. 

 Length 1.55 mm. ; width 0.65 mm.

The male described above serves as the type of a species allied 

 in general to capillosulum, but with very much feebler subhumeral 

 modifications of the elj^tra. It is rendered very distinct by the 

 •conformation of the terminal hind tibial spur of the male, which 

 is slender and oblique as usual, scarcely half as long as the tarsus 

 and bifurcated from about the middle, the diverging angle being
