MR. J. S. BA.LY OX SOME GENERA. 



The specimen from wMcli I originally drew up the diagnosis 

 of this species (a $ ) had been carded, and the apex of thg 

 abdomen was so obscured by gum that I described it as 

 entire ; since then I have had the opportunity of examining many 

 specimens of both sexes, and find that the apex of the female 

 anal segment is distinctly, although slightly, sinuate on each 

 side.

Vertex in the with an elevated ridge, placed obliquely on 

 each side just above the eye and running inwards to nearly 

 meet its fellow in the median lioe ; antennae in the J with the 

 basal joint thickened, slightly curved, clavate, its outer edge sub- 

 carinate ; second joint small, the third thickened and subclavate, 

 its apex truncate ; the fourth and fifth also thickened, dilated 

 laterally, subtrigouate, each shorter than the third ; the apex of 

 the fourth obliquely truncate, its anterior and outer angle 

 produced, acute or subacute ; the fifth with its outer sur- 

 face deeply concave, the anterior angles of the concavity 

 acute. Thorax nearly twice as broad as long; sides nearly 

 straight and parallel from the base to beyond the middle ; 

 upper surface transversely sulcate immediately behind the 

 middle, rather coarsely punctured on the sides in front. Elytra
