In M/ Wallace's specimen there is a broad stripe on each side 

 of the prothorax. In fresh specimens eacli of the rostral punc-

r»laxes. 



Caput parvum ; oculi rotundati ; rostrum elongatuin , filiforme , leviter 

 arcuatum; scrobes laterales. Antennae pone medium rostri insertae; scapus 

 gracilis; funiculus articulo primo incrassato, secundo conico, cai teris trans- 

 versis, gradatim latioribus, in clavam continuatis. Prothorax ampliatus, 

 antice valde constrictus, utrinque rotundatus, basi bisinuatus. Scutelluin 

 distinctum. Elytra depressa. Pectus baud canaliculatum. Coxaj omncs inter 

 se distantes. Femora incrassata mutica; tibia3 breves; tarsi articulo penul- 

 timo late bilobo; unguiculi liberi. Abdomen sutura prima obsoleta. 



What I take to be the male has a short straight depressed 

 rostrum , scrobes commencing nearer the apex , ovate eyes , a 

 naked pygidium and toothed anterior femora. Such marked dif- 

 ferences are unexpected although in Myclides there is a consi- 

 derable divergence in the rostrum of the two sexes. The genus , 

 as is often the case, has no place in Lacordaire's classification 

 of the Bavidinoi.
