similarly curved but shorter sub-apical tooth, and a small, vertical 

 basal one. 



The facies of the only species which I propose to include in this 

 genus closely resembles that of some species of Spavvmannia. It is 

 very hairy on the prothorax and the pectus ; the shape of the claws 

 is exactly that of Schizonycha ; but the epimera are somewhat 

 broader and not carinate along the episterna. 



Beriqua modesta, n. spec. 



Male : Chestnut-red, moderately shining, head and prothorax 

 clothed with long, light fulvous hairs, not sufficiently dense, how- 

 ever, to hide the teguments ; pectus and femora with similar hairs 

 forming a very dense long pubescence ; clypeus glabrous, blunt in 

 the anterior part and with the outer angles rounded, sides somewhat 

 narrowed towards the apex, the margin is reflexed, and it is deeply 

 but sparingly punctured in the anterior part and impunctate in the 

 centre, the clypeal carina is sharp, transverse, the frontal part 

 simple, deeply and somewhat closely punctured as far as the extreme 

 basal part ; prothorax convex, ampliated laterally on the median 

 part, sinuate along the base but not along the anterior margin, and 

 covered all over with equi-distant, deep, round punctures, and 

 having a smooth raised median line in the posterior part of the disk ; 

 scutellum somewhat sharply ogival ; elytra sinuate from the humeral 

 to the median part and ampliated laterally thence, somewhat convex, 

 without any costule or stria, not even a juxta-sutural one, and 

 covered with deep, round punctures, each bearing a minute greyish 

 hair in the manner of Schizonycha ; propygidium and pygidium 

 faintly aciculate ; abdomen convex, deeply and somewhat closely 

 punctate laterally. 



I have seen only two examples of this species ; in one of them ( $ ) 

 the tooth under the claws is very short, hardly distinct, the claw 

 itself being merely wider and only slightly incised where the tooth 

 should be, in the other the tooth is conspicuous.

Mentum broad, transverse, slightly rounded laterally but sharply 

 angular at the apex, ligular part much narrower than the mentum 

 and separated by a very plain, slightly arcuate suture, deeply emar- 

 ginate laterally and broadly and deeply incised in the anterior part,
