these latter prominent. Pvrothorax longer than broad, margined, 
its sides but little curved, considerably contracted behind, with 
somewhat obtuse but rectangular posterior angles, apex slightly 
arcuated, base emarginated ; the dorsal groove terminates in the 
curved frontal impression, basal foveze deep, close to the angles, 
with a few punctures extending inwards ; the disc is obsoletely 
striated across, and there are several setigerous punctures along 
the margins. FA/ytra elongate, marginated, wider behind than 
in front, a little rounded laterally ; each with eight rows of punc- 
tures, the four inner arranged in pairs, so that the interstices 
between them and the outer rows are broader than the others, 
yet not so wide as the smooth space near the side ; these punc- 
tures are sometimes confluent, but never form striz, the outer 
are more rounded and deeper than the inner, whilst the whole 
sculpture becomes confused apically. Underside shining black, 
head rugose, base and flanks of the prosternum, and most of the 
mesosternum, rugosely punctated, the sides of the metasternum 
and abdomen more or less punctured. The mentum tooth, 
though entire, is concave at the apex, and the terminal articula- 
tions of the palpi are elongate-oval but rather obtuse at the 
extremity.

1324. Wetaglymma oblonga,n.sp.—Broad, sub-oblong, somewhat 
convex ; moderately shining, black, legs and antenne pitchy- 
red. Head nearly smooth, having only a few abbreviated 
longitudinal lines on the forehead, an inter-antennal and post- 
ocular impressions, and two or three short marks on the vertex. — 
Prothorax \arge, as long as broad, obtusely rounded laterally, 
much narrowed behind, with indistinct posterior angles ; its 
surface presents the usual dorsal groove, not reaching the base 
nor apex, some obsolete aciculate impressions, half-a-dozen 
punctures in the marginal channels with ferruginous hairs pro- 
ceeding from them; an indistinct, curved, frontal impression 
most visible near the anterior angles, and the basal fovez repre- 
sented by mere punctiform depressions. Sczztellum smooth. 
Llytra oblong, slightly rounded, evidently and regularly — 
punctate-striate, with the common smooth lateral space, inter- 
stices simple. Underside glossy black, with a puncture on each 
side of the middle of the second, third, and fourth abdominal 
segments. A rather broad, easily recognised species. 
Length, 8% ; breadth, 23 lines.

1325. Dichrochile nttida,n.sp.—Sub-oblong, rather broad,some- 
what depressed ; shining black, legs pitchy-black, tips of palpi 
testaceous. S/ead of rather rounded outline, with prominent 
eyes, two inter-ocular punctures, and a deep frontal groove, and 
somewhat uneven near the sides! Pvrothorax transversal, sub-
