DESCRIPTION. 



Body elongate, more slender than that of the type, testaceous ; hairy, with decumbent pale hairs ; 

 thickly punctured. Head dusky-red ; antenna? longer than the prothorax, slenderer than usual in 

 the tribe, scarcely serrated, with the four last joints rather slenderer than the rest; eyes large and 

 hemispherical; nose a good deal reflexed : prothorax convex, channelled, dusky red, darker in the 

 disk ; elytra pale testaceous ; furrowed, furrows deeply punctured ; interstices minutely punctured 

 with scattered punctures : legs paler than the rest of the body, and nearly yellow. 



xii. * Subgenus Asaphes. Kirb. 



Body wider. 



Nose not overhanging the mouth. 

 Rhinarium attenuated in the middle. 

 Prothorax short, posterior angles carinated. 



I am doubtful whether this should not be considered as forming a distinct genus. 

 The general form is very different. But as the tarsi have suckers on the second 

 and third joints, till more species are discovered, I have given it as only a subgenus 

 of Pedetes.

P. (Asaphes) niger, punctulutus, pubescens ; antennis obscure rvfis ; elytris piceis, substriatis.
