Schonherr's two species of Colobodes are unknown to me ; but 

 so far as his descriptions go, I have little hesitation in referring 

 the first of the above to this genus. The second differs in the 

 relative length of the first two funicular joints and in the short- 

 ness of the club of the antennse ; but the two species ought not, 

 I think, to be generically separated on these characters. 



Latychtjs. 

 (ZygopinsB.) 



Mostrum breviusculum, validum, arcuatum ; scrobes prsemedianae, 

 obliquse, ab oculis longe desinentes. Scapus brevis ; funiculus 

 7-articulatus, articulis tribus basalibus longioribus, cseteris 

 sensirn transversis, ultimo clava? adnato. Oculi mediocres, ro- 

 tundati, antice haud approximati, a prothorace distantes. 

 Prothorax conicus, lobis ocularibus nullis. Scutellum subrotun- 

 datum. Elytra trigonata, pj^gidium obtegentia, humeris angu- 

 lato-productis. Pedes mediocres ; femora valida, infra obsolete 

 dentata ; tibia apice unco valido armatae ; tarsi articulo tertio 

 profunde bilobo. Coxae anticse distantes. Mesosternum trans- 

 versim leviter excavatum. Metasternum breve, tumidum. Ab- 

 domen segmentis duobus basalibus ampliatis. 



A genus allied to Pinarus and Piazurus on account of the me- 

 sosternum entering into the formation of its pectoral canal, but 

 with a stout shortish rostrum, rather small eyes, not contiguous 

 to the prothorax or to one another, and the femora but slightly 

 thickened and not toothed beneath. 



Latychus rivulosus. (PI. XIII. fig. 9.) L. niger, sat dense 

 griseo fuscoque squamosus ; capite inter oculos excavato ; rostro fer- 

 rugineo, in medio leviter carinulato, subreticulato-punctato ; antennis 

 ferrugineis ; funiculi articulo secundo longiore ; prothorace fusco- 

 trivittato, vitta intermedia latiore ; elytris supra irregularibus, linea- 

 tim sulcatis, interstitiis convexis, tertio tuberculis angustis duobus
