COLEOPTERA.

angles : elytra more or less elongated and acuminate behind, sutural region more or less 
depressed; minutely, sparsely, and irregularly punctulate; smooth, or slightly irregularly 
wrinkled, or feebly costate ; base rather strongly arcuately emarginate, but with the fold 
entire and continuous from the humeral angle to the scutellum : humeral angle rather 
strongly produced : flanks of prothorax and prostemum finely and not closely punctured, 
the latter very strongly thickened at each side between the coxae ; base of mesosternum very 
strongly and densely punctured ; base of metasternum and of first abdominal segment rather 
coarsely, but not closely, punctured, the rest of their surface, as well as the other abdominal 
segments, very finely and remotely punctured.

Yangihissar, Kogyar. 
This species has completely the aspect, and many of the characters, of the genus Col- 
poscelis. The third joint of the antennae, however, is but little longer than the second ; the 
antennary orbits are not separated from the epistoma by a broad, deep impression, this 
latter being less prominent, and exhibiting no tendency to become umbonate, as it does in 
Colposcelis. The form, &c., of the eye is completely that of Colposcelis. The prothorax 
is as long as it is broad in its widest part, and is slightly angulately rounded at the base. 
The elytra are as deeply emarginate at the base, and the humeral angle is as strongly pro- 
duced, as in Colposcelis. The middle and hind tibise are distinctly hispid, the latter bein'*' 
also elongated and feebly flexuous in the $ . 
It is in the genus Anatolica that we find species with mandibles edentate on their upper 
margin : in some species the mandibles are thick, and provided with a distinct tooth above, 
which is always the most developed in the right mandible : in others (in both sexes) they 
are more slender, and the tooth is either but faintly indicated, or is entirely wanting : the 
present species is in this latter case. 
MlCRODERA LATICOLLIS. 
Approaching M. gracilis, Esch., in habit, but more robust. Black, shining : head moder- 
ately, prothorax closely, elytra sparsely and minutely, punctured. Prothorax moderately 
convex, transverse, widest before the middle, well rounded at the sides, strongly contracted 
behind to the base ; base broadly margined, rounded, a little sinuate at each side ; apex feebly 
sub-sinuately emarginate; all the angles depressed, the anterior rounded, the posterior obtuse : 
elytra elongate, oval, and rather sharply produced at apex ; epipleural fold uninterruptedly 
continued round the shoulders : the parapleurae entirely, the sides of all the sterna and of 
the abdomen coarsely, closely, and confluently punctured, finely and remotely so on their 
middle.

Kashgar, Yangihissar, Kogyar. 
Microdeea 1‘ARVICOLLIS. 
In habit approaching JH. convexa, Tausch, but prothorax more rounded anteriorly, 
broadest before the middle, thence gradually contracted to the base, which is much mere 
strongly margined, and the elytra more broadly oval.
