;vntennis pjudlo iniims elongatis magis robustis, funiculi 

 articulis 3-7 minus elongatis nee plane transversis ; pro- 

 thoraee paullo magis transverso, orebre leviter (fere obsolete) 

 granulato ; elytris quam prothorax quarta parte latiori. 

 Long., 5 1. ; lat., 21^ 1. (vix). 



In colour and \estiture very like the preceding but iiifer alia 

 with the prothorax considerably narrower than the elytra and 

 entirely dift'erently sculptured, its sculpture resembling that of 

 Folyphrades longipennin, Pasc. Like the preceding, this species 

 has all the general appearance of a Polyplirades, but the scape of 

 its antennae reaching back considerably beyond the eyes places it 

 in Cherrus. It is of the same sex (male) as the type of 

 C. lo7iffulus. The outline of its elytra viewed from tlie side is an 

 even curve.
