Head gently convex at base, depressed and with a small 

 fovea between eyes; these moderately prominent. Rostrum 

 slightly longer than wide, almost parallel-sided ; median 

 carina rather indistinct, the sublateral ones fairly distinct; 

 apical plate very short. Antennae long and thin; scape 

 rather strongly curved; first joint of funicle slightly longer 

 than second and third combined, second as long as third and 

 fourth combined. Prothorax lightly transverse, sides strongly 

 rounded, apex straight, about as wide as base; with rather 

 coarse punctures. Elytra much wider than base of prothorax; 

 with rows of rather large punctures, appearing small through 

 clothing. Femora rather strongly dentate. Length, 6-6^ mm.

The outlines are much as in elegans, but readily dis- 

 tinguished from that species by the strong femoral dentation 

 and long elytral clothing. The setae, which from certain 

 directions appear to be in quite a regular row on each inter- 

 stice, are quite as long as in echinatus, but much finer, slightly 

 finer than in suturalis; but from those species it is readily 

 distinguished by its much larger size, conspicuously green 

 clothing, femoral dentition, etc. Three feeble dark spots may 

 be traced on the prothorax of one specimen. The two basal- 

 joints of funicle are slightly longer than the five following 

 ones combined. 



Myllocerus setistriatus, n. sp. 



Black, appendages in places feebly diluted with red. 

 Densely clothed with green scales. Elytra with numerous 

 stiff erect setae of moderate length, and each appearing to be 

 supported on a small black granule ; prothorax with shorter 

 and less erect setae. 



Head moderately convex ; eyes fairly large but not very 

 prominent. Rostrum slightly wider than long, sides feebly 

 diminishing in width, gently depressed and with a median 

 line along middle, sublateral carinae moderately distinct but 

 feebly curved at insertion of antennae. Antennae (for the 

 genus) comparatively short; first joint of funicle almost as 

 long as second and third combined, second shorter than third 

 and fourth combined, the two basal ones distinctly shorter 

 than the five apical ones combined. Prothorax moderately 

 transverse, sides gently rounded in middle, apex straight and 

 the width of base; punctures rather coarse. Elytra distinctly 

 wider than prothorax; striate-punctate, punctures partially 

 concealed. Femora strongly and acutely dentate; tibiae with 

 a granuliform swelling about middle. Length, 5| mm.
