feebly dilate to apex ; the antenrice are inserted distinctly 

 nearer base than apex. 



Imaliodes longipes, n. sp. 



d . Black, in parts diluted with red. Densely clothed 

 with ashen-grey scales, in places thickly interspersed with 

 stout suberect ones. 



Head with dense concealed punctures. Eyes rather finely 

 faceted. Rostrum moderately long, not very stout, somewhat 

 dilated in front, apical third with dense punctures, concealed 

 elsewhere. Antennae rather thin ; scape inserted one-third 

 from apex of rostrum, as long as funicle ; two basal joints of 

 funicle subequal in length. Prothora.r about as long as wide, 

 sides evenly rounded, apex not much narrower than base; with 

 dense and rather shallow, concealed punctures. Scutellwin 

 absent. Elytra ovate, strongly convex, each separately 

 rounded or almost truncate at base, base no wider than pro- 

 thorax, but sides strongly rounded ; with rows of very large 

 punctures, becoming smaller posteriorly: non-tuberculate. 

 Third and fourth segments of ahdomtn level with second and 

 fifth. Leg8 long; femora moderately stout, edentate, scarcely 

 grooved, hind pair distinctly passing elytra. Length, 

 5J-6 mm. 



9 . Differs in having the rostrum somewhat longer, punc- 

 tures concealed only at base, elsewhere shining and with 

 numerous rather small, clearly-defined punctures; scape 

 inserted not quite so close to apex of rostrum ; and basal seg- 

 ment of abdomen feebly convex in middle instead of flat.

The edentate femora associate this species with frateVy 

 from which it is distinguished by the non-fasciate elytra. The 

 legs are much longer than those of ovipennis, and the hind 

 femora distinctly pass the elytra. In the elytra and long legs 

 this and the following species resemble A?ichithi/rus, but the 

 eyes are finely faceted. From some directions the first joint 

 of funicle appears to be a trifle shorter than the second, but it 

 really is of exactly the same length. 



Imaliodes binodosus, n. sp. 



9 • Blackish ; antennae and tarsi obscurely reddish. 

 Densely clothed with muddy-brown scales, somewhat paler on 

 under- than upper-surface. With numerous stout scales inter- 

 spersed. 



Head with concealed punctures. Eyes rather large and 

 with fine facets. Rostrum moderately long, rather wide at
