elevation ; the latter somewhat oblong in form, limited behind by 

 the narrow basal groove, and continued uninterruptedly to the 

 anterior margin in front. Elytra about twice as long as their con- 

 joint width at the base, slightly widened out posteriorly and broadly 

 rounded at the apex. Sternal processes as in Ghreonoma. Claws of 

 tarsi strongly toothed at the base. 



9 . Head a little less broad, slightly convex in front, and without 

 a fringe over the lower lobe of each eye ; mandibles narrower, and 

 slightly convex in front. Antennae shorter than the body, and with- 

 out a fringe under the first joint. Last ventral segment longer, 

 impressed with a line along the middle, and a shallow pit near 

 the apex. 



Lasiophrys latifrons, sp. n. (Plate IV, fig. 10.) 



<$ . Head and prothorax yellowish- or reddish-testaceous in colour, 

 with the apex and inner edge of the mandibles black ; basal half of 

 elytra black, the rest yellowish ; antennce testaceous, with the last 

 four or five joints dark brown ; body underneath yellowish-testaceous, 

 with the meta-thorax, especially at the sides, more or less reddish- 

 brown ; legs black, with all the coxse, and the anterior face of the 

 front femora, testaceous. Head widened upwards from the base to 

 the lower lobes of the eyes, and as wide there as the elytra in their 

 widest part, sparsely punctured with rather small unequal-sized 

 punctures, marked with a dark longitudinal line, which becomes 

 slightly raised, forming a short carina, on the crown ; antenniferous 

 tubercles feebly raised, with the broad front between them slightly 

 concave ; mandibles rugosely punctured in front except at the edges. 

 Prothorax strongly and rather thickly punctured on the centro notal 

 elevation. Elytra sparsely punctured. 



$ . Antennae reaching to the apical third of the elytra ; last ventral 

 segment with an impressed line along the middle. 



Long. 16-18, lat. 6 mm.

This genus was founded for a single species represented 

 only by one female specimen. The male of the same, or 

 a very closely allied, species has been described by Ritsema 

 under the name of Bacchisa nigriventris (Notes), Leyden
