MYCE1VEA, Stephens, (1831). (Type hirta.)

AEEXIA, Steph. Man., p. 9.9, 132. (Type polifera.) 

 This genus is well described and figured by Duval (t. ii., p. 225, 

 pi. 55, f. 275), except that the antennae are figured as 9-jointed on 

 one side and 10-jointed on the other. I quite agree with him that it 

 must be associated with Mycetxa, but Lithojihilus is a decided 

 Coccinellid in all respects. 



Convex, pubescent, punctate, thorax deeply impressed on either 

 side; labrum prominent, truncate; antennae 10-jointed (the 8th being 

 lost), club abruptly 8-jointed, last joint largest; pro3ternum narrow, 

 separating the coxae bisulcate ; tarsi distinctly 5-jointed, the last 

 longer than the other three together. 



A. Ulkei, sp. n. — Sub-hemispherical, globose, shining, coarsely punc- 

 tate, pubescent, pale reddish-brown, elytra black, margins and suture narrowly 

 paler, antennae with the club black; thorax obsoletely punctulate, disc brown, 

 deeply impressed on either side at the base, which is margined. L. "7 inch.

A. minor, sp. n. — Very near to A. Ulkei, but uniformly testaceous, 

 smaller and less globose, elytra less reflexed at the margin. L. *6 inch.
