Type : Anauxesida cuneata sp. nov. 



Allied to Hyllisia Pasc, from which it diiFers chiefly in the antennae being 

 fringed at least at the base, in the long antennal scape extending beyond tlie 

 scntellum, and in the spined apices of the elytra. The two sjjccies of this geuus 

 remind one very much of Anauxesis Thorns, by their elongate sha])e as well as by 

 the white colour of one of the apical jomts of the antennae.
