Cerophysa (l) facialis n. sp. 



Fulvous, the apex of tlie elytra and the abdomen black, 

 antennae tlavous, thorax trausverse, impuuctate, transversely 

 sulcate, elytra finely and closely pnnctured. 



Mas. The loM-er portiou of the face deeply exeavated, 

 furnished witli bristles, palpi greatly dilated, the fourth Joint 

 of the antennae aagularly emarginate. 



Length 31/2 lines. 



Elongate and parallel, reddish-fulvous, the head impuuctate 

 the frontal tuberi-les trigonate, distinctly raised, flavou;^, the 

 eatire lower portiou of the face deeply exeavated, the mav- 

 gins of the cxcavation furnished vvith long curved bristles, 

 the top provided with two hornlike projections, palpi flavous, 

 the terminal Joint enormously dilated, truncate at its apex 

 with a very short appendage inserted at the top, antennae 

 flavous, extending beyond the middle of the elytra, the firsl. 

 Joint long and slender, the second extremely short, the third 

 longer than the fourth, the latter deeply and angularly 

 emarginate, the apex projected into a point, the following 

 joints nearly equal; thorax twice as broad as long, the sides 

 widened and strongly rounded anteriorly, the angles not 

 })roduced, the surface with a rather shallow- transversa 

 depression, not extendig quite to the sides, impuuctate , 

 fcfutellum broad, its apex somewhat truncate, elytra very 

 tinely and closely punctured, fulvous, the apex black, 

 their epipleurae very broad at the base, extending nearly to 

 tiie apex, tibiae unarmed, the first Joint of the posterior tarsi 

 as long as the following joints together, claws appendioulale, 

 the anterior cotyloid cavities open. 



Hab. New Guinea. 



It is probable thal this curious species of which 1 posess 

 two male specimens forms the representative of a new genus, 

 allhough I have at present placed it in Cerophysa with which 

 it agrees in most structural characters except in that of the 

 antennae, which in the male insect of Cerophysa have some 

 strongly dilated joints. The present species bears a great 

 resemblance to Platyxantha paUipes Fab. from which it only 

 differs in the structure of the antennae and in the open 

 anterior coxal cavities. 



Cerophysa borneensis u. sp. 



Metallic bhie, apical joints of the antennae flavous, head 

 and thorax metallic green, the latter bifoveolate, elytra dark 

 blue, closely and strongly punctured.
