Genus, Neocarenum, Castelm 



Of elongate form and parallel-sided. Labrum short not emar- 

 ginate, palpi slightly securiform. Antennae submoniliform. 

 Anterior thighs and tibiae as in Eutoma, intermediate tibiae 

 strongly unidentate at the outer apex, and serrate above. A row 

 of sublateral punctures on the elytra. 



Count Castlenau established this genus on my Carenum elon- 

 gatum. The species since added are Neocarenum cylindripenne, 

 Bates ; Mastersi, Macl. ; retusum, Bates ; rugosulum, Macl., 

 and singulars, Casteln. 



Genus, EuTOMA, Newman. 



Very narrow and of cylindrical form. Head large, profoundly 

 bisulcate in front ; labrum not or scarcely emarginate, very 

 short. Maxillary palpi triangular, labial securiform. Antennae 

 submoniliform. Thorax longer than wide. Anterior tibiae strongly 

 bidentate externally ; anterior thighs notched and angled beneath 

 near the apex. 



The species of this genus are numerous and distinguished for 

 brilliancy of colouring; they are for the most part of small size and 

 were originally classed as one of the subdivisions of Carenum. 

 They may be divided into those with two impressed punctures on 

 the elytra, and those with four. 



The first division consists of — 



E. bipicnctaticm, Macl. E. Mastersi, Macl. 



cavipenne, Bates. Newmani, Casteln. 



cuprijyenne, INIacl. punctipenne, Macl. 



episcojyale, Castein. purpuratu^n, Casteln. 



filiforme, Casteln. splendidum, Macl. 



glaherrimum, Macl. suhrugosulum, Macl. 



loive, Casteln. suhstriatidum, Macl. 



Loddonense, Casteln. tinctilatum, Newm. 



undulatum, Macl. violaceum, Macl.
