Easily known by its elongate narrow form, coarse punctuation 

 and pubescence, and indistinct elytral series toward the sides. Two 

 specimens. 



AtfDRIMUS n. gen. 

 Cteniopus Lee. nee Sol. 



The principal characters of this genus may be stated as follows : — 



Front not noticeably prolonged. Antennae differing in the sexes, much 

 longer, more broadly compressed, and with the joints more strongly obconical 

 in the male, filiform in the female, the third joint much shorter than the 

 fourth in both sexes. Eyes moderate in size, but convex and prominent, the 

 inner margin very broadly rounded. Maxillary palpi with the fourth joint 

 rather slender, the angle at the base much less than right, the inner side 

 distinctly shorter than the apex, slightly more robust in the male, with the 

 apex longer and sometimes nearly as long as the outer side. Labial palpi 

 with the third joint slender, twice as long as wide, the apex truncate and but 

 slightly oblique. Mandibles truncate at apex, the truncation slightly oblique 

 and very obsoletely, broadly emarginate, the upper lobe twice as wide as the 

 lower, longer and more advanced. Anterior coxae separated by a process simi- 

 lar to that of Cistela but a little narrower, the posterior separated by a slender 

 acute abdominal process. Legs rather short, the tarsi shorter than the tibia?, 

 the anterior feebly dilated in the male ; ungues rather long and slender, with 

 five or six denticles in apical two-thirds only, the basal third not pectinate. 

 Genital armature distinct in both sexes, broadly sinuato-truncate at apex in 

 the male, more narrowly and deeply sinuate in the middle in the female. 



In the form of the mandibular apices this genus is intermediate 

 between Cistela and Androchirus, but differs from both in the much 

 feebler emargination. In its slightly dilated anterior tarsi of the 

 male it is between Capnochroa and Tedinus. In the form of body 

 in many of the species, which is oblong-oval, subparallel and but 

 feebly convex in a longitudinal direction, in the aspect of the head, 

 and in the general nature of the sculpture and vestiture it strongly 

 resembles Mycetochara. 



The elytra are generally abruptly wider at base than the protho- 

 rax, and are gradually, narrowly dehiscent toward apex from near 

 the middle ; the surface is striato-punctate and the pubescence is 

 quite peculiar, consisting of longer erect hairs, with others that are 

 shorter and more recumbent. In this last character Andrimus 

 differs radically from Cistela, but in Capnochroa it is feebly indi- 

 cated by viewing the etytra tangentially, when the surface will be 

 found to be sparsely strewn with short erect hairs in addition to
