utrinque tribus, una subhumerali, secunda longiori pone 
medium, tertiaque transversa subapicali; an tennis fili- 
formibus, breviter pilosis. 
Long. 4J lin. d' . 
Rather shorter in form and more regularly cylindrical 
than the other species, wholly fulvo-testaceous in body 
and limbs, except two purplish-brown vittse on the 
thorax, and three belts or spots of the same colour on 
each elytron. The punctuation of the elytra is so large 
and dense, even to the apex, that the whole surface 
seems honeycombed.

5. Haruspex pusillus, n. sp. 
Parvus, linearis, sparse setosus, ferrugineo-testaceus, 
elytris vitta suturali indistincta et pone medium inter- 
rupta flavescenti ; capite reticulato-punctato, antennis 
subfiliformibus, serratis, corpore ( S' ) paulo longioribus, 
( $ ) paulo brevioribus, articulo basali scabroso, reliquis 
usque ad apicem sulcato-carinatis ; thorace subcupuli- 
formi, basi fortissime constricto, supra parum profunde 
reticulato-scabroso, opaco ; elytris minus convexis, apice 
breviter sinuato-truncatis, extus longe dentatis, angulo 
suturali breviter spinoso, supra grosse punctatis opacis, 
suturam et apicem versus minus dense, subnitidis : pe- 
dibus validis, femoribus modice clavatis, tibiis omnibus 
apice extus spinoso-productis. 
Long. 2i-2J lin. S $ . 
A curious little species, approaching Piezocera in hav- 
ing the apices of the tibiae externally produced and acute, 
but without the sharp exterior edge of these members, 
which is a distinguishing character of Piezocera. The 
thorax does not differ essentially in form from that of 
H. brevipeSj but it has a peculiar appearance, owing to 
the sides not being rounded, and the usual constriction 
near the hind margin being unusually strong, with a cor- 
respondingly deep sulcus ; this is, however, much more 
marked in the S than in the $ .
