1240 THE INSECTS OF THE VICINITY OF KING’s SOUND, 
222. Alaus funebris, Cancl. 
Mast. Cat. Col. Sp. 3103. 
The two specimens I possess of this insect are of smaller 
dimensions than given in M. Candeze’s description, they have also 
two round black spots in the centi'e of the thorax, which are not 
mentioned by ]\I. Candeze, in other respects they so exactly agree 
with the original description, that I think I am justified in 
regarding them as the same species. 
223. Tetralobus quadrifoveatus, n.sp. 
Dark brown, sub-nitid. Head punctate, deeply longitudinally 
impressed between the eyes. Thorax longer than vdde, moderately 
convex, nearly truncate in front, rounded on the sides, narrowed 
behind, the posterior angles large, robust, and much pointed out- 
wards and strongly keeled, the disk punctate, the median line 
lightly marked, except in the middle, where it is deep, and at the 
base where it is elevated into a keel terminating in a tubercle, and 
on each side of the median line there are two deep roundish 
foveie, one near the middle, the other near the base. The elytra 
are of the width of the ^videst part of the thorax, and more than 
three times the length, parallel-sided, rounded at the apex and 
minutely mucronate, striate — the stri^ faintly punctate, except 
towards the sides, the interstices broad, scarcely convex, and very 
minutely punctate. The prosternum is very coarsely punctate, 
the metasternum is pilose, the legs are reddish, as are the antennae, 
which are largely pectinate from the fourth joint. 
Long, 15, lat. 4 lines. 
224. Monocrepidics primus, n.sp. 
Brownish-black, sub-nitid, ^ ery minutely and densely punctate, 
and clothed with a veiy short light brown pubescence. Head 
transvei-se, a little rounded and strongly keeled at the apex, the 
antennae reddish, finely pubescent, attenuated at the apex and not 
so long as the thorax, the second joint half the length of the
