Allied to S. irroratus Mel., but witli considerably broader 

 head and differently coloured costal börder of the tegmina. 



Distant (Rhynch. Brit. Ind. IV, p. 290) places the genus 

 Selenoceflialiis Germ. in a division characterized by »vertex 

 about half as long as breadth between eyes» and he seems to 

 have placed species of this genus having a broader vertex 

 in other genera, but I cannot follow him in this. The breadth 

 of the vertex in this genus is very variable according to the 

 species and if we accept his comprehension of the genus even 

 the type of the genus {S. grisens JFabr.) must be excluded 

 from it.
