COLEOPTERA.

About the size, and of the elongate-subparallel form of a moderate¬ 
sized specimen of Ecelonerm subfasciatus ; resembling also a large Euco- 
rynus crassicornis. 
Head subquadrate, somewhat wider and shorter behind the eyes than 
between them; vertex very finely and densely punctulate-substrigose^ 
rufous, denudate; front deeply punctate-rugose, convex, covered with a 
rather thick yellowish fulvous pile, wanting on the middle. Eyes lateral, 
moderately sized, rounded,semiglobose, hardly extending on the forehead; 
black. Rostrum subquadrate, very little wider than the front and somewhat 
narrower than the head behind the eyes ; sides straight, or slightly dilated 
towards the apex, margined (ridge of the margin acute, when observed 
from the sides) ; apex obliquely truncate laterally, subangularly emargi. 
nate in the middle ; bi-impressed near the apex with a longitudinal eleva¬ 
tion in the middle, obsolete towards the base; coarsely punctate-rugose, 
clothed with a yellowish fulvous pile, wanting in the middle. Labrum 
minute, covered with flavescent hair. Palpi flavescent. Antennae rufous, 
subglabrous, glossy ; club densely tomentose. 
Thorax somewhat shorter than wide, subequally rounded at the sides, 
but obtusely angular at the lateral angle of the ante-basal ridge, anteriorly 
and posteriorly narrowed ; apex and .base subtruncate, the latter distinctly 
wider than the former; basal ridge not distant from the base in the 
middle, but directed upwards in a curve to the sides, where, being angular, 
it runs along them near to the apex, forming a lateral margin; a short 
ridge from its lateral angle to the true posterior angle, oblique, narrowing 
the thorax at the base, is also perceivable, as well as the thin margin of the 
base; upper side convex, transversely punctate-rugose, except the middle 
of the apex, which is only punctate; dark brown, slightly covered laterally 
and beneath with a yellowish fulvous pile, disposed on the upper surface in 
lines and maculse, more or less indicated, and of which the most con¬ 
spicuous are — 1st, a subcircular or irregularly polygonal figure, placed 
in the middle, to which are joined anteriorly and posteriorly two longitu¬ 
dinal lines, one running to the apex, the other to the base ; 2nd, a spot on 
the posterior ridge near and at each side of the posterior line ; 3rd, the sides 
nearly entirely condensed: these marks leave between them fuscous 
maculaa formed by the ground, which has a very slight fuscous pile. 
Scutellum very minute, subtriangular, clothed with yellow pile. 
Elytra subparallel, more than twice as long as the thorax, and together 
twice as long as wide ; base subemarginately truncate, wider than that of
