RHYNCHOPIIORA MALAYANA. 289 



type is Asijlesta Doriae j Kirsch {Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, XIV, 

 1879, p. 19) which is at once differentiated generically by the 

 large tooth of the anterior femora. If we take the contiguous 

 eyes as tlie one essential character of the Zygopinse (but then 

 we should have to exclude Arachnopiis and allies) this and the 

 allied genera should be placed in a group apart. They are fi- 

 nely punctured and only scaly in parts, the pectoral canal so- 

 metimes obsolete but then the anterior coxse more or less ap- 

 proximate, and the tibia) often grooved. In the figure the elytra 

 should have been smaller. 



316. Z. Doriee , n. sp. (Tav. 3. f. 2). Breviter ovata, nigra nitida, 

 elytria p;illidioribus, ad humeros macula niveo-squaniosa notatis ; frons 

 supra oculos linea arcuata elevata instructa; antennae fulvescentes, funi- 

 culus articulis duobus basalibus longioribus, cseteris gradatim brevibus et 

 niagis transversis; protliorax magnitudine elytrorum vel paulo latior, sat 

 vage tenuiter punctatus; elytra seriatim punctata, singulo spatio elevato 

 et granulato in medio longitudiualiter sito; pedes quatuor posteriores mi- 

 nores. Long. 4 mm 



M.^" Kirsch kindly sent me his type specimen , I had failed 

 to identify the species until after the above description was in 

 print.

Csenocliira. 



Rostrum tenue; scrobes antemedianiE infra rostrum conniventes. Scapus 

 breviusculus; funiculus elongatus; clava distincta. Protliorax subamjjliatus, 

 lobis oculariijus ciliatis. Scutellum parvum. Elytra cordiformia, prothorace 

 hand latiora. Coxaj anticse exsertje, approximataj. Pedes antici elongati; 

 femora dentata; tibias intus bisinuatae. Pectus breve, integrum. Mesosternum 

 depressum. Abdomen segmentis duobus basalibus ampliatis. 



It is with some hesitation that I refer this genus to the Zy- 

 gopinoe ; it is at present represented by a curious species having 

 the facies of Thyestetha except that the long fore-legs with their 

 stout femora gives it a character by which it may be at once 

 recognized. The absence of a pectoral canal is not apparently of 

 more than generic importance in this group.
