curved ; in the space between it and the other there is a shorter 

 and less distinct keel which, about the middle of the elytra, passes 

 into small tubercles ; the shouldevs and sides of tfie keels and 

 the spaces between them at the base are more or less covered 

 with small tubercles; the spaces between the keels have many 

 short golden yellow adpressed hairs. The spine at the end of the 

 suture is sharp, as is the outer margin of the elytra. Legs com- 

 pressed, brown.

/. JEgosoma tibiale, n. s. B.M. 



Mg. thoracis lateribus unispinosis, anguiis posticis acutis fere 

 spinosis; elytris laevibus, costa media distincta, alteraque ad 

 suturam abbreviate, suturae apice spinigera ; tibiis crassis, tarsis 

 angustis. 



Head short, slightly grooved between the eyes, under side of 

 head rough. Antennae with the first, second, third and fourth 

 joints thickly covered with small warts. Thorax with a spine on 

 the lateral edge about the middle, separated from the produced 

 somewhat reflected posterior angle by a rounded sinus ; surface 

 covered with small warts and outstanding inconspicuous hairs. 

 Scutellum punctured at the base, in the middle with a raised line. 

 Elytra smooth, dark brown, with a distinct costa running nearly 

 to the tip, and another between that and the suture vanishing 

 about the middle of the suture ; elytra at the tip rounded, the 

 suture with a short spine. Legs with the femora and tibiae thick, 

 the tarsi narrow. 



Length 18-J lines.

58. CYRTONOPS, n. g. 



Head with largish eyes, which are hardry if at all emarginated. 

 Palpi long, with the terminal joint nearly twice the length of the 

 preceding, obliquely truncated at the tip, and covered on each 

 side with shortish hairs*. Antennae cylindrical, covered with small 

 hairs, third joint not much longer than the fourth. Thorax 

 rather wider than long, the sides angulated. Elytra with the 

 sides nearly parallel. Legs simple ; tibiae compressed, and more 

 or less thickly covered with short hairs. 



* In one of the specimens there is a curious malformation of the 

 palpi ; from the third joint proceed two longish hairy joints, one of 

 them bent.
