entire insect is that of cinnamon^ a little more ruddy 
(and rather shining) on the antennge and legs. Only 
those rngge of the thorax are regular which lie near the 
anterior margin, the rest are much interrupted, and the 
interstices are here and there thickened ; the lateral 
spines are reduced to smallish conical tubercles. The 
antenna9 are much shorter than the body, the apices of 
all the joints from 3-10 are produced and acute, but only 
the third and fourth are really spinous. 
The species seems allied to H. hellato7‘ of Serville, which 
I have not seen ; but it differs in colour and in several 
points of structure. The anterior haunches and their 
sockets are much angulate externally, as according to 
Lacordaire they are in H. hellato7\

1. Crioclion torticoUej n. sp. 
Magnum, parallelogrammicum, depressum, castaneum, 
fulvo-griseo dense subtiliter tomentosum; capite vix 
punctate ; antennis ( 5 ) tomentosis, infra ciliatis, supra 
basin versus setis raris vestitis, articulis apice nullomodo 
angulatis ; thorace quadrate, supra valde in^quali, sulcis 
brevibus flexuosis torto, lateribus foveolis nonnullis pro- 
fundis nigris ; elytris coriaceis, apice rotundatis, sutura 
spinosis; femoribus et tibiis intermediis et posticis apice 
valde spinosis.

Closely allied to the type of the genus, C. tomentosmn, 
Serv., differing chiefly in the very irregular surface of 
the thorax, which resembles a cerebral surface in its con- 
voluted elevations and fissures. The antennal joints 5-8 
have not their apical inner angles produced, and the 
antennge are much less setose altogether than in most of 
the allied species.
