Pseudoscelida gen. nov. 



Elongate, antennae in tlie 'nude \ery long and slender, clothed with lung hairs, 

 thorax subquadrate, deflexed in front, obsoletely foveolate, elytra .shining, finely 

 punctured, their epipleiu'ae prolonged, leg.s slender, tibiae unarmed, the first joint 

 of the posterior tarsi as long as the following joints together; claws ajjprndiculate. 

 anterior coxal cavities open. 



The long and pube.scent antennae in the male, the hairs of which are not closely 

 adpressed, but form long projecting fringes, resemble those of H>/phaenia, but in 

 that genus the anterior coxal cavities are closed ; from Mimadra the present genus 

 diSers in the shape of the thorax, which is deflexed anteriorly, resembling C'erophysa 

 in that respect, and has only two obscure foveae, instead of being sulcate at the entire 

 surface; the genus will enter the twelfth group of Chapuis' arrangement, the 

 SeelidirKK. 



Pseudoscelida pallida sp. nov. 



Pale testaceous, the antennae, tibiae, tarsi, and the breast black, thorax and 

 elytra scarcely perceptibly pnnctttred, shining. 



(J. Antennae as long as the body. 



V . Antennae much shorter, scarcely pubescent. 



Length 2 to 3 lines. 



(J. Head impunctate,eyes very large,occupying the entire sides, closely approached, 

 clypeus rather strongly raised, ])alpi robust, antennae as long as the body, black, the 

 fir.st joint elongate, the second extremely short, the following joints long, equal, 

 furnished with long projecting hairs ; thorax scarcely broader than long, the side^ 

 .straight, deflexed anteriorly, the surface with two shallow foveae, which nearly unite 

 at the middle, impunctate ; scutellum broad ; elytra only visibly punctured when 

 seen under a very strong lens, pale, testaceous, like the rest of the upper surface ; the 

 breast, tibiae, and tarsi black. 



Hab. Martapura (S.E. Borneo). 



Atysa afSnis sp. nov. 



Black, thorax scarcely' depressed, hnely rugose, elytra finely pubescent and 

 coriaceous, obsctire fulvous, the apical portion black. 



? . Elytra with three longitudinal costae. 



Length 2^ to 3i lines. 



Of narrow parallel shape, the head broad, finely rugose, the antennae nearly 

 extending to the apex of the elytra, black, the terminal four joints obscure fulvous, 

 third joint very long, slightly longer than the fourth, the intermediate joints slightly 

 widened, terminal joints thinner ; thorax transverse, very .slightly sulcate, finely rugose 

 throughout, black, sometimes partly fulvous, the sides slightly widened and rounded 

 before the middle ; scutellum fulvous ; elytra finely pubescent and rugose, obscure 

 fulvous, the apical third portion black, the anterior edge of this colour concave, and 

 extending a little way ujiwards at the suture. 



Hab. Andai (New Guinea). 



Evidently very closely allied to A. tenniiiaUs Baly (of which a two-line descri lo- 

 tion is given by the author), and of the same coloration, but smaller, the antennae 

 with paler terminal joints, the thorax scarcely sulcate and more finely rugose, and the 

 dark apical portion of the elytra differently separated from the fulvous part. In
