cuius 7-articulatus, articulo primo crassiore, longiusculo, se- 

 cundo paulo breviore, caiteris trans versis ; clava magna, ovalis. 

 Oculi laterales, grosse granulati. Protlwrax oblongus, sub- 

 cylindricus, basi bisinuatus, margine inferiore antice fortiter 

 emarginato. Elytra protliorace paulo latiora, elongata, paral- 

 lela, basi producta, postico subito declivia ; femora clavata, 

 posteriora apicem elytrorum superantes, pedunculata, in medio 

 fortiter clavata et processu triangulari denticulato munita ; 

 tibia breves, arcuata3, compressa? ; tarsi normales ; coxes antica) 

 parum sejunctae. Abdomen segment! s duobus basalibus valde 

 ampliatis. 



The type of this genus is very like some of the smaller Austra- 

 lian OrtJiorini, to which, in fact, it is closely allied, differing 

 principally in the character of the tibise and of the posterior fe- 

 mora ; the latter are very remarkable, and can only be paralleled 

 among the TachygoninaB, a subfamily of the Aulacostethous ca- 

 tegory. From a slight difference in the rostrum I suspect my 

 two examples are male and female.

 viatis, in medio sitis, intermedia alte elevata, compressa, pone me- 

 dium abrupte terminata ; scutello oblongo, albo-squamoso ', elytris

 elevatis, granulatis et basin versus cristatis, apiee albido-squamosis ;

Dicordylus pupillatus. (PI. VI. fig. 1.) D. ferrugineus, ni- 

 tidus, subtus pube alba variegatus j prothorace subconico, subtiliter 

 punctato, septemvittato ; elytris postice sensim angustioribus, sat

The diagnoses of this and the following species are drawn up 

 to contrast with the two described by Lacordaire. In this spe- 

 cies, which approximates to D. hcilopoides, the elytra are gradually 

 narrowed to the apex, which is deeply and angularly emarginafce, 

 with the outer angle on each side rather produced ; the femora
