l.SVt2.

triangular, its upptM* surface concave and polished, its inner apical angle forming a 

 free process, the apical margin of the hollow a little elevated and emarginate, 10th 

 joint also dilated and concave on its upper surface, much smaller than the 9th, trans- 

 verse, terminal joint normal, oval, short. Head with the produced front almost 

 flat, scarcely at all canaliculate. Thorax rather small, longer than broad. Elytra 

 rather short, narrow at the base, much broader behind, very spai'ingly punctate and 

 pubescent, with a well marked discoidal stria extending for moi-e than half the 

 length. First dorsal segment more than twice as long as the 2nd. Legs very long, 

 front trochanter elongate, spinose at the apex, femur with a long sharp spine ; middle 

 trochanters bearing very short teeth, femur not armed ; posterior trochanters vei-y 

 long, but not armed. Breast armed with two elongate erect processes. 



I have described this species from a single male example sent me 

 by Mr. Walker ; the locality where it was found he mentions as being 

 the summit of 1'a-maou Island of the Chusan Archipelago, where he 

 found it buried in the moss under a stone. 



EUDEANES, n. g. {Ti/rini, Kaffray). 



Trochanteres intermedii eloiigati, anteriores posterioresque breves. Palpi 

 maxilla res parvi. Antenncs ad insertionem approximatce. Unguiculi duo, 

 cequales. Corpus densissime punctatum, setulis minutis vestitum. 



This genus is a very distinct and isolated one, and will be recog- 

 nised by a glance at the margins of the hind-body, which appear to be 

 duplicate, owing to the incrassation of the upper edge of the ventral 

 plates. In M. Raffray's tables it would find its place near Marellus 

 and Centrophthalmus of the group Tyrini. 



Maxillary palpi short, 1st joint not observed, 2nd thick at the 

 extremity, 3rd and 4th joints quite small, the latter acuminate at 

 one side of the tip. Mouth parts projecting forwards beyond the 

 insertion of the antennae. Head short, with a short produced piece 

 in front, on the anterior aspect of which the antennae are inserted. 

 Antennae 11-jointed, thick, moderately long, basal joint only twice as 

 long as the next ; club elongate, three-jointed. Middle coxae quite 

 contiguous. First ventral segment very short, not forming any pro- 

 cess between the hind coxae, 2nd and 3rd equal, moderately long, 4th 

 and 5th short, emarginate for the accommodation of the terminal 

 segment. First, 2nd and 3rd dorsal segments subequal in length, 

 4th shorter; segments 1 — 3 carinate on each side of the middle; 

 the lateral margin is not elevated, but is extremely broad, and the 

 edges of the ventral segments are brought up to its level, thus making 

 it appear duplicate. The tarsi are moderately long and slender, and 

 each bears two well marked claws of nearly e(|ual size.
