Family SCARAB ^ I D 
Sub-Family COPRIDES. 
107. Tessarodon variolosus, n.sp. 
Bound, very convex, black, sub-nitid. Head coarsely punctate, 
bidentate in front, with a notch on each side instead of the outer 
dentation of the other species of the genus, and rounded at the 
sides and in front of the eyes. Thorax much wider than the head, 
and twice as wide as long, coarsely punctate — the punctures oab- 
elongate and variolose, the anterior angles prominent and acute. 
Elytra wider than the thorax, and much wider than long, the base 
a little emarginate with the humeral angles I’ather acute, rounded 
on the sides and apex, finely striate : the striae formed of two very 
thin close parallel lines, with the interstices, except near the 
humeral angles, flat, and each marked with two rows of punctures. 
The postei'ior tibiae spurred as in T. anr/ulatus, Westwood. 
Long. 2|, lat. 2 lines. ^ 
This species most resembles the Ateuckus Ilollandifu of Fabricius 
( Tessarodon, Hope), but the head of that insect is distinctly 
quadridentate, and the sculpture of the elytra is more profound. 
108. Temnoplectron rotundum, Westwood. 
Mast. Cat. Col. Sp. 2016.
