TAL^EOENEIS. 205 



Epipleura? deeply foveolate, surface very sparingly pubescent, 

 abdominal lamina? incomplete, terminal. 



Coelopterus salinus. 



Coelopterus salinus, Muls. Op. n. p. 89 (1853). 

 Subhemispha?ricus, totus niger, parce pubescens. L. | lin. 

 Hyeres, in salt-marshes. 



Bucolus. 



Muls. Spec. p. 1000 {typ. Fourneti). 



Orbicular, hardly convex, epipleura? deeply foveolate for the 

 femora, which are broad, concealing the flattened tibia?. This 

 cannot, I think, be allied to Scymnus, as Mulsant indicates. 



Bucolus Fourneti. 



Bucolus Fourneti, Muls. Spec. p. 1000. 1 (T). 



Queensland, Victoria. It has somewhat the appearance of a 



Scirtes. 



Bucolus? sollicitus.* 



Bucolus sollicitus, Muls. Op. in. p. 156. 2 (1853). 



" Suborbiculaire, pubescent. Noir ou d'un noir legerement 

 bronze en dessus ; ventre d'un rouge fauve obscur." L. 1| lin. 

 Cayenne (Perroud). 



I have not seen this insect, but do not believe it to be a 

 Bucolus. 



Palseoeneis. 



gen. nov. (typ. aurantiaca). 

 Allied to Cryptognatha by the produced prosternum ; claws 

 simple, thorax broad, not margined at base ; punctuation sparse, 

 unequal, the fine punctures obsolete, abdominal plates complete, 

 legs free, not lodged in grooves, epipleura? not foveolate ; thoracic 

 epi pleura? foveolate for the antenna? ; eyes large, bordered by the 

 gena?. This genus is extremely anomalous. 



Palseoeneis aurantiaca, sp. n. 



Black, ovate, convex ; thorax with the sides straight, not de- 

 flexed, margined, punctuation sparse, gently emarginate in front ; 

 scutellum small ; elytra very unequally and sparsely punctate, 

 bright orange with a black medial fascia, dilated a little at the 

 margin and at the suture (which is margined with black through- 

 jut its length), apex also triangularly black. L. 2£ lin. Malacca 

 (Wallace). 



Palseoeneis coccinea, sp. n. 



Very like the preceding, but smaller, head and anterior margin 

 of thorax rufous, elytra more sparsely punctured, bright carmine 

 with similar markings. L. 11 lin. Sarawak (Wallace).
