ERYSTÜS Cr,YPR.\TUS. '233 



lated , the posterior ones more distinctly than the others ; 

 prosteruum broad ; elytral epipleurae very broad , conti- 

 nued below the middle. 



Hah. Timor (Wienecke). — Two specimens. 



This is the second species belonging to the genus Erystus, 

 described by myself in Genoa Annals (1885, p. 39). From 

 jE". celehensis, the present insect differs in being only half 

 the size of that species and in having a distinctly thickened 

 transverse clypeus. 



Cleonica, nov. gen. 



Oblong-ovate; eyes small, entire; palpi with the penul- 

 timate joint thickened ; antennae filiform , all the joints 

 with the exception of the second one , elongate ; thorax 

 short, very transverse, the surface transversely sulcate ; 

 elytra irregularly punctured, their epipleurae continued 

 nearly to the apices; posterior femora moderately incras- 

 sate ; tibiae simple, unarmed; the first joint of the posterior 

 tarsi as long as the three following joints together; claws 

 appendiculate ; anterior coxal cavities open. 



This genus approaches in its structural characters Licyllus 

 Jac. from Australia but differs in the small eyes , the diffe- 

 rent shape of the thorax which has the posterior angles not 

 obliquely cut as in Licyllus , also in the want of an elytral 

 basilar depression and their prolonged epipleurae. 



Cleonica quadriplagiata , n. sp. 



Piceous; abdomen testaceous; antennae black, the first 

 joint fulvous, the eighth flavous; head and thorax ful- 

 vous , impunctate ; elytra finely punctured , black , the middle 

 of the disc and the apices pale yellow, the sides with a 

 longitudinal costa. — Length 2^/^ lines. 



Head longer than broad , impunctate , the vertex swol- 

 len ; the frontal tubercles narrowly transverse , bounded by 

 a deep groove behind, and divided by the apex of the
