process ; last joint very swollen, inner claw thickened, sharp at tip, 

 and bent under the joint ; posterior tibiae broad, supra-apical 

 transverse carina on the intermediate and posterior ones, bluntly tri- 

 dentate, apex non-ciliate, apical spurs thickened, but hollowed 

 inwardly and not sharp at tip. 



The shape of the posterior apical spurs approximates to that of 

 Temnorhynclius . The suture between the mentum and the ligula 

 is strongly exemplified in this genus. 



Callistemonus intrusus. 



Piceous black, sometimes piceous red; antennse, legs, and under 

 side rufous brown and densely hairy ; head very rugose ; clypeus 

 distinctly reflexed in front, genae somewhat triangular, distinct, in 

 the centre of the head are two very indistinct, transversely sub- 

 triangular prominences ; prothorax attenuate laterally in front, but 

 nearly straight for two-thirds of the length, convex, covered with 

 closely set, deep punctures, and having in the anterior part a small, 

 more or less round depression, and a small tubercle in the centre 

 of the anterior margin ; scutellum impunctate, slightly impressed 

 longitudinally at apex ; elytra sub-cylindrical, deeply punctured ; the 

 punctures are set close to one another, and the three dorsal duplicate 

 striae are visible ; pygidium finely and closely shagreened ; abdominal 

 segments a little contracted ; basal intercoxal process of prosternum 

 flat, but broad, and ovate at tip. 



Length 15-19 mm. ; width 8-10 mm.

Mentum very convex in the inferior part and deeply excavated at 

 tip, very oblique laterally from the base to the point of insertion of 

 the antennae, slightly narrowed obliquely from there towards the 

 apex which is emarginate, labial palpi short, intermediate one 

 swollen, apical one longer than the preceding two put together, 

 elongato-ovate, and slightly truncate at tip ; maxillaB with the apical 

 lobe horny, scooped out inwardly, not dentate nor ciliate in the inner 

 part, and with a few setae outwardly, second and third joints of 

 maxillary palpi thick, conical, apical one broadly elongato-ovate and 

 moderately acuminate at tip ; mandibles concave, not much curved
