Adoretus sellatus, Klug, communicated to me by the Berlin Museum, 

 and the claws of which I unfortunately did not examine at the 

 time. 



Length 10 mm. ; width 5 mm.

SUNTEMNONYCHA, n. gen. 



Mentum and buccal organs of Schizonycha, but the robust man- 

 dibles are not quite so curved at apex, and not bifid there ; the 

 clypeus is arcuate as in Schizonycha, but the margin is less strongly 

 reflexed, it is separated from the frontal part by a deep trans- 

 verse suture instead of a sharp keel, and the frontal part has no 

 basal raised ridge ; the antennae are 10- jointed, the club in the 

 male is as long as the pedicel, the two ultimate joints of which are 

 acuminate and laminate respectively ; the body is like that of 

 Schizonycha, but the whole anterior margin of the prothorax has a 

 short pubescent fringe ; the legs are as in Schizonycha, the upper 

 tooth of all the claws is long, curved, and sharp, the lower follows 

 the same curve, but is abruptly truncate ; pectus and median part 

 of basal margin densely hairy. 



Differs from Schizonycha by the presence of a frontal suture 

 instead of a keel, the truncature of the lower tooth of the claws, 

 and the shape of the two ultimate joints of the antennal pedicel. 



SUNTEMNONYCHA COLLUSOE, n. Spec. 



Ferruginous, a little lighter on the elytra, antennal club of male, 

 the only sex I know, light chestnut-brown, the joints of this club are 

 parallel from the base to two-thirds of the length, and slightly ampli- 

 ated thence, and therefore wider there than in the same sex of the 

 Schizonycha species ; clypeus parabolic, very little blunted in front, 

 and with the anterior margin only moderately raised, it is divided from 

 the frontal part by a deep, transverse, slightly arcuate suture, the 

 frontal part has no basal elevation whatever, and the whole surface 

 is covered with nearly contiguous sub-foveate punctures separated 

 by narrow, raised walls ; prothorax and elytra of the same shape as 

 in Schizonycha ; the former is densely pubescent along the frontal 

 and outer margins, and also along the median part of the base above 

 the scutellum, the punctures are not scrobiculate laterally, and 

 are divided from each other on the disk by a space equal to their own 

 diameter, but they are more closely set along the anterior margin ; 

 the scutellum is hairy, and the punctures on the elytra are deep 

 with the smooth, slightly raised intervals, narrower in the anterior
