FUCIISI1VA gen. nov. 



Labrum small, feebly dilated at sides; epistoma on the same 

 plane as the front, and separated from it by a fine, distinct, feebly 

 arcuate suture. Head broad ; eyes wanting. Antennae 10 jointed ; 

 club o-jointed. Prothorax large, nearly as wide as the elytra; sides 

 finely serrato-crenulate. Scutellum wanting, wings absent or rudi- 

 mentary. Elytra slightly wider than the prothorax, oblong-oval, 

 each with about twelve or thirteen subconfused rows of very fine 

 punctures, from which proceed short fine appressed hairs. Front 

 C0X83 contiguous; middle coxae rather narrowly but distinctly sepa- 

 rated ; hind coxie not very widely distant, the intercoxal process of 

 the first ventral broadly triangular, its apex rounded. Femora 

 rather stout; first tarsal joint slightly longer than the second, the 

 third subequal to the first two united. The abdomen appears to be 

 made up of five segments; the tip of a sixth is, however, visible in 

 one of the four specimens before me. The mouth parts are not dis- 

 tinctly visible, but appear to be substantially as in Corticaria. 



In its 10 jointed antennae Fuchsina agrees with the exotic Mig- 

 u< anxia, but in this latter genus the eyes, scutellum and elytral sculp- 

 ture are normal, that is to say, substantially as in Corticaria and 

 Melanophthalma. 



F. occulta sp. uov. — Oblong-oval, ru fotestaceous, moderately shining, with 

 sparse, fine, short appressed pubescence proceeding from fine punctures on the 

 pronotum, elytra and under surface. Head transverse; sides very slightly con- 

 vergent from the nearly right basal angles to the frontal constriction; surface 

 impunctate, minutely subalutaceous ; eyes wanting; labrum but little larger than 

 the epistoma, scarcely dilated at sides, feebly subsinuate in front. Antennae 

 10-joiuted, club abruptly 3-jointed ; basal joint orbicular; second smaller, oval; 

 3-7 narrower, equal in width, the third nearly twice as long as wide, sixth and 

 seventh subglobose ; first two joiuts of club transverse, last joint a little longer 

 than wide. Prothorax transverse, sides nearly evenly rounded, base and apex 

 subequal, margin finely serrulato-creuulate, more distinctly so near the hind 

 angles, which arc sharply defined and slightly obtuse; surface rather sparsely 

 and finely, but distinctly punctulate, with or without a faint subtransverse im- 

 pression before the base. Scutellum wanting. Elytra but little wider than the. 

 prothorax. elongate-oval, widest very slightly before the middle, margin subex- 

 planate toward the base, the humeral angles a little obtuse; each with about 

 12 or 13 uni impressed irregular rows of very fine punctures. Beneath sparsely, 

 finely punctate, the metasternum more distinctly so. Presternum long before 

 the coxa}, and witli a transverse Lateral fossa as in ('urticaria. Metasteruun
