having the apical joint fully as long if not longer than the third, 
the head and abdominal segments without impressions. Mr. 
Dumbrell informs me that he captured the three specimens 
whilst crawling out of the same burning log. 
MALACODERMIDiE. 
Selenurus granulatus, n.sp. 
3 . Elongate, shining, depressed. Testaceous-red; head with a 
small oblique brown marking close to eyes, palpi black, basal 
joints of antennae more or less diluted with red, the rest black; 
prothorax with the apical third black — except on a slight inter- 
ruption in the middle; elytra coppery green; tip of femora, apical 
half of tibiae and the tarsi black; abdomen with the segments 
having on the undersurface black markings at the sides, the 
apical only entirely black, on the upper surface there is in addition 
a black macula in the middle of each ; eyes dark brown. Covered 
all over — densest on elytra — with short white pubescence; the 
upper surface in addition with short black setiform hairs — most 
noticeable on prothorax. Minutely punctate all over. 
Head feebly transverse; eyes moderate, not very prominent ; 
antennae slender, reaching or slightly passing posterior coxae. Pro- 
thorax feebly transverse; wider than head, not much wider at 
apex than at base; irregularly and shallowly depressed ; base 
margined, sides feebly reflexed. Elytra not twice as long as head 
and prothorax combined, each somewhat wedge-shaped; the whole 
surface densely covered with small, shining, rounded elevations, 
giving it an embossed appearance. Legs moderately long, femora 
thickened, posterior tibiae bent. Length to apex of elytra 5J, of 
abdomen 6 J; width 14 mm. 
Q. Differs in being larger, broader, head narrower, with shorter 
antennae; the black of prothorax appearing as lateral maculae; the 
disk smoother, &c. Length to apex of elytra 6, of abdomen 7f ; 
width 1 J mm.
