In the table of genera allied to CJicttectetorusi'^'^) the above 

 ones were noted as having tibiae with terminal hook only. As 

 a matter of fact, the species of all these genera have (or, at 

 any rate, their front tibias have) a small siibapical tooth to 

 «ach tibia: but the tooth is usually very feeble, and appears 

 as if due to the sudden termination of the lower ridge. 



PHLiEOGLYMMA LONGIEOSTRIS, n. Sp. 



Black; antennae and tarsi red. Densely clothed with 

 dingy-grey scales, variegated with sooty and brick-red ones; 

 on the under-surface and legs mostly brick-red and whitish. 



Head with dense partially-concealed punctures. Rostrum 

 long and rather thin, sides lightly incurved to middle ; shining 

 and with rather sparse and small punctures in front, becoming 

 coarse towards and partially concealed about base. Antennae 

 thin, inserted in middle of rostrum ; scape the length of funicle ; 

 second joint of funicle slightly longer than first. Profhorax 

 strongly transverse, sides strongly rounded ; with dense, round, 

 concealed punctures ; apparently with a feeble median carina. 

 Elytra closely applied to and shoulders slightly clasping sides 

 of prothorax, parallel-sided to beyond the middle, scarcely 

 twice as long as wide ; with rows of large punctures, becoming 

 smaller posteriorly ; interstices much wider than seriate punc- 

 tures, second with an obtuse elongated tubercle, with small 

 granules about middle, third with a more distinct but shorter 

 one near base, and an indistinct one near middle, fourth with 

 a small one near middle; a few small granules elsewhere. 

 Femora stout, rather strongly dentate ; middle tibias angular 

 or subdentate near outer base, the others less noticeably so. 

 Length, 6^ mm.

The rostrum is rather long for the genus, but the large 

 finely-faceted eyes, strong femoral teeth, and open receptacle 

 are as in other species. Its outlines are much like those of 

 dorsalis, but that species has very different clothing and middle 

 tibiae unarmed at the base ; the other species are narrower and
