Gth, the club cone-shaped. Eyes roiiiul, iiunlenitely prominent. Thorux 

 as long as broad, gently constricted in front and behind the middle, 

 truncate in front and behind. Scutellum very small and triangular. 

 Elytra not broader than the thorax at their base, convex, gradually 

 enlarging to the middle, and then again narrowed to the apex. Wings 

 absent. Legs moderately long, femora strongly clavate ; anterior 

 tibise nearly straight ; apex of the posterior tibia) truncate, hollowed, 

 the margins ciliated. Tarsi spongy below, the 1st joint as long as the 

 two following together, the 4th joint a little longer ; the claws curved, 

 separated. 



Intercoxal projection of the abdomen wide, nearly straight in 

 front and at sides ; 3rd and 4th segments equally short, much shorter 

 tlian the 2nd segment. General form elongate, sub-fusiform. 



This and the following genus appear to me to be evidently allied 

 to Brachyderes. 



Canonopsis seeiceus, sp. noD. 



Sub-fusiformis, convexus, flavo-griseo-sericeus. Antennis pieeis, 



clava nigra. Fronte fovea magna impressa. Thorace latitudinc hand 



longiori, supra longitudinaliter canaliculato, canalicula ante medium 



expansa atque utrinque tubercula obsoleta instructa. Elytris basi 



thorace baud latioribus, at 3i longioribus, elongato-ovalibus, pnnctato- 



striatis, interstitiis vix convexis, interstitio secundo vittis duabus velu- 



tinis nigris ornato. Femoribus basi pieeis. 



Long. 5i lin., elytr. lat. 2 liu. 

 Many examples. 



AaONELYTRA, gen. noo. 



Rostrum short ; antennal scrobes small, round. Antenna) placed 

 close to the apex of the rostrum, rather stout, scape reaching to the 

 front margin of the thorax ; funiculus with the 1st and 2nd joints

 elongate cone-sliaped. Eyes round, very slightly prominent. Thorax 

 as long as broad, truncate in front and behind. I'^lytra with distinct 

 shoulders, well embracing the abdomen ; each elytron with tlie apex 

 broadly rounded. Wings wanting. Legs moderately long ; femora not 

 very much thickened towards the apex ; tibia) nearly straight, the apex 

 hollowed out, the margins ciliated ; tarsi with the basal joint a little 

 longer than the second, claw-joint rather longer than the basal ; claws 

 separated. 



Intercoxal projection of the abdomen broad ; 3rd and llh seg- 

 ments equal, much shorter than the previous segments.
