than the rest of elytra, crowned on each side with an obtuse 

 transverse tubercle ; third and fifth interstices distinctly- 

 raised from base to basal third (less distinctly raised near 

 apex) ; with several feeble tubercles about middle, a distinct 

 oblique one on fifth interstice; with series of rather large 

 round punctures, not very close together, and more or less 

 interrupted by tubercles; a few small, shining, sutural 

 granules on basal half. Punctures of under-surface entirely 

 concealed. Posterior femora extending almost to apex of 

 abdomen. Length, 6| mm. ; rostrum, 2\ mm. ; width, 

 3 1 mm.

The elongate tubercular elevations and short deep elytra 

 give this species a most peculiar appearance. It differs from 

 apicigriseus in having much paler and more uniform cloth- 

 ing. The rostrum longer, eyes smaller and rather more 

 coarsely faceted, posterior declivity considerably longer, pec- 

 toral canal longer and terminating at hindmargin of middle 

 coxse instead of in a somewhat more advanced position, mesos- 

 ternal receptacle narrower and second segment of abdomen 

 not transversely impressed, etc. 



EUEYPOROPTERUS TENUIFASCIATUS, U sp. 



Black, antennae (club infuscate) and claw-joints of a 

 rather pale-red. Moderately densely clothed with small, 

 round, brown scales ; on prothorax a few elongate ones scat- 

 tered about and moderately dense at sides and apex, each 

 side of middle with a small, round, whitish spot ; each elytral 

 puncture with a moderately large scale, longer and paler 

 scales scattered about, and, to the naked eye, appearing to 

 form an oblique row of three small dots on each elytron ; a 

 distinct and very narrow white oblique fascia on each side, at 

 summit of posterior declivity, extending from sixth interstice 

 almost to suture. Under-surface, head, and basal half of 

 rostrum sparsely squamose, pectoral canal moderately 

 squamose; legs feebly ringed. Ciliation silvery and un- 

 usually minute. 



Head very feebly convex; forehead widely and shallowly 

 but distinctly bisinuate ; indistinctly punctate ; ocular fovea 

 small and round. Rostrum the length of prothorax, sides 

 lightly incurved to middle ; with very feeble series of rather 

 small punctures ; apical half shining. Funicle with the 

 second joint distinctly longer than the first, none of the 

 others transverse. Prothorax rather strongly transverse, pos- 

 terior angles produced ; surface uneven from rather large 

 scattered punctures ; feebly (more distinctly at base) de-
