shoulders, narrowed to tho apex more than in A. ci/icti/tr/t/uHj 

 the apex in one exani})le is ol)scurely pitchy. Tlie suturai, the 

 second and the fifth striae are more deej)ly impressed at the 

 base than the others. All the striae are tine, and vers' closely 

 packed with small punctures, as in A. cincl/pt'ti/tis. The whole 

 insect is less convex than tliat species. The underside is hlack 

 with the exception of the thorax, which is yellow beneath, the 

 prosternum being blackish. Legs black, tibiae simple, tarsi yel- 

 lowish, fuscous aljove. 



Three examples. 



Obs. One rather immature specimen is more infuscate than 

 the others and shews traces of a dark spot at the base of the 

 Immeral yellow spot.

The genus Ainb/i/opns as it stands in liacordaires Monograph 

 will need further sul)division , the typical s|)ecies, villulus, has 

 coarse and large eyes, ('rotch (Revision of Erotylidae, p. 51)) 

 has remarked of A. rnbens (=.1. ///c/a/iostonins, Lac.) " the eyes 

 in this species are certainly line.' and it will have to he sepa- 

 rated on other grounds. The insect for which I now propose the 

 name PelaloHcelis, though allied to and formed like the African 

 And/lgscc/is, which I have already separativi, cannot be associated 

 with the sj)ecies of that genus on account of its very iinely 

 facetted eyes, the epistoma at the same time is produced in a 

 rostrate manner and is angularly and deeply emarginate. The 

 eyes have a small emargination behind the insertion of thi> 

 antennae, they are much smaller and more lateral than in 

 A/Nhlgapas.
