Gen. ARiEOTANYPUS, Waterh., Cat. L, p. 899. 

 Ar^otanypus consors, n. sp. 



Female : Testaceous red, antennae flavescent ; glabrous except 

 for a few short setae on the basal antennal joint, the coxae and 

 legs ; labrum very transverse, straight in front, clypeus distinctly 

 carinate in front and on the sides, no frontal suture, but a slight 

 depression on each side near the genae, whole surface of head 

 covered with sub-contiguous, sub-rugose punctures ; prothorax 

 slightly attenuate laterally from the apical to about the median 

 part, nearly straight thence, both anterior and posterior angles 

 sharp, base moderately sinuate on each side, discoidal part rather 

 depressed, and having a short, very faint longitudinal median 

 sulcus above the centre of the base, the surface is covered with 

 closely set, simple punctures separated from each other by an 

 interval nearly equal to their own diameter in the central part 

 only, and narrower towards and on the sides ; scutellum with 

 a few punctures at the base ; elytra sub-oblong, being slightly 

 ampliate laterally past the median part, not broader than the 

 prothorax at the base and three times as long, very little convex, 

 normally rounded at apex ; they have each a distinct stria along 

 the suture and four or five very indistinct ones on the remainder of 

 the surface, and they are covered with almost seriate, deep, closely- 

 set, sub-irregular punctures ; underside shiny, nearly impunctate ; 

 anterior tibiae with three very distinct outer teeth the apical one 

 of which is very long and curves strongly outwards, the space 

 between the teeth and also that above the basal tooth is serrated ; 

 each joint of the long slender tarsi bears on each side a long seta, 

 the claws are extremely slender. 



The female of A. boops, Waterh., is not known, and the present 

 species might prove identical with it, but Mr. Arrow, who has 

 kindly compared my example with the type of the genus, opines that 

 it is a different species.
