three-jointed, free. Prothorax transverse, depressed, apex pro- 

 duced and about one-half width of base, base subtruncate; ocular 

 lobes almost rectangular. Scutellum feebly raised, distinct. 

 Elytra slightly wider than and raised above prothorax, longi- 

 tudinally and transversely convex, base feebly sinuate, sides 

 parallel to apical third, then oblique to apex. Pectoral canal 

 deep and moderately wide, terminated almost at metasternum. 

 Mesosternal receptacle distinctly raised, U-shaped, sides very 

 narrow; open. Metasternum slightly shorter than basal segment 

 of abdomen; episterna large, feebly dilating posteriorly. Abdomen 

 large, sutures distinct; basal segment about once and one-half 

 the length of 2nd, rather strongly incurved at apex, intercoxal 

 process rather narrow; 3rd and 4th large, their combined length 

 more than that of 2nd or 5th. Legs rather short; femora 

 dentate, not grooved, posterior terminating before apex of abdo- 

 men; tibiae short, compressed, curved only at base; tarsi the 

 length of tibiae, 3rd joint wide, deeply bilobed; claw-joint elongate, 

 feebly setose, claws separated at an angle of about 60°. Sub- 

 oblong, squamose, fasciculate, winged. 



This genus is closely allied to Phlceoglymma and Tychreus; 

 from the former it differs in the shape of the eyes, the prothorax 

 and elytra, and in the antennae, especially the club; from the 

 latter by its more finely faceted eyes, antennae, dentate femora 

 and termination of pectoral canal. 



Chimades lanosus Pasc; Mast. Cat. Sp. No.5519. 



Reddish brown, antennae and claws red. Densely clothed with 

 whitish scales having a loose appearance and apparently mixed 

 with a greyish exudation; rostrum and pectoral canal glabrous. 

 Prothorax with long erect subfasciculate scales at the sides 

 and apex. Each elytron with two very distinct fascicles 

 ■on 3rd interstice ; one near base and one at summit of 

 posterior declivity, sides with two less distinct fascicles. Under 

 surface with greyish scales, denser on sides of sterna than else- 

 where. Legs densely squamose, the tibiae and femora feebly 

 ringed with brown.
