equidistant from side and suture; an obscure narrow fascia about 
the middle, almost obsolete towards the sides, oblique towards the 
suture; undersurface reddish-brown, with obscure piceous blotches. 
Above densely clothed with rather long pubescence, a little paler 
than the derm on which it rests, densest on elytra; sides of 
sterna pubescent as prothorax; abdominal segments densely 
clothed with moderately short pubescence. Above very densely 
and minutely punctate; on prothorax the punctures almost con- 
cealed by pubescence; sterna densely and minutely, the abdominal 
segments very minutely punctate. 
Head about as long as wide; eyes rather large, not very promin- 
ent; antennae short, not reaching anterior coxae. Prothorax 
very feebly transverse, a little the widest about its middle, where 
it is fully as wide as head, truncate at base and apex; base feebly 
margined, an oblique impression from each side of the base. 
Elytra about two and a half times as long as head and prothorax 
combined, at the base about once and a third the width of 
base of prothorax, shoulders rounded, sides widening to beyond 
the middle. Legs rather short, not very thick. Length 34, 
width ljmm.

Trichosalpingus pallipes, n.sp. 
Depressed, derm shining. Testaceous, elytra not much paler 
than head and prothorax, legs and antennae decidedly paler than 
elytra; prothorax with an obscure brownish blotch at the extreme 
sides; elytra with a moderately large blotch about the middle, 
moderately sharply defined at its anterior edge, much less so at 
the posterior; undersurface a little darker than head, without 
blotches. Above covered with very short pale pubescence, 
moderately dense on elytra; undersurface extremely minutely 
pubescent. Above very densely and minutely punctate, punctures 
most noticeable at base of elytra, becoming feebler towards apex; 
undersurface very minutely punctate, punctures most visible on 
pro-, meso- and sides of metasternum.
