This species differs from the last in coloration as well as in 

 being narrower and more coarsely punctured, the elytra not pro- 

 duced at the apex, &c.

 bus, humeris subauritis, striato-punctatis, punctis oblongis, haud ap-

The tufts on the elytra of this species are mostly very small, 

 and are here and there united, or nearly so ; in a specimen from 

 Kaioa about twelve may be counted on each elytron. 



Nechyrus geniculatus. N. ovatus, fuscus, sat dense silaceo-squa- 

 mosus ; capite rostroque ut in N. lemure, sed fovea minore ; protho- 

 race longitudine latitudini sequali, fortiter punctato, punctis opacis, 

 sat confertis, singulis squamam gerentibus, fasciculis quatuor fuscis 

 notatis — 2 apicalibus, 2 prsemedianis ; elytris prothorace manifeste 

 latioribus, humeris oblique angulatis, postice modice declivibus, supra 

 profunde striato-punctatis, interstitiis elevatis granulatis, interstitio 

 suturali obsolete trifasciculato, tertio etiam fasciculis tribus — uno sub- 

 basali, uno mediano, tertio exiguo postico, apice rotundato ; femoribus 

 apice tibiisque basi nigris. Long. 5 lin.

The sculpture of the prothorax is like that of JV. puncticollis ; 

 but it is otherwise of the elytra, which have also twin tufts and 

 a pronounced angle at the shoulder.

 squamis silaceis conspicue interjectis ; rostro nigro, nitido ; antennis

 prothorace sat fortiter transverso, subvage punctato, punctis squamam 

 erectam gerentibus ; scutello triangulari ; elytris fortiter seriatim 

 punctatis, singulo elytro fasciculis atris tribus ornato, uno magno pone 

 medium fasciam simulante, aiteris anterioribus ; corpore infra nigro,
