India than in the Malayan subregion. The species of Acorynus 

 may be recognized by the slender club of the antenna having the 

 tenth segment short. There are still many undescribed species in 

 collections.

Litocerus, Schonh. (1833). 



The tenth segment of the antenna is long. Judging from the 

 material in the collections of the British and Tring Museums, Lito- 

 cerus is more abundantly represented in continental India than 

 Acory7^us.

The pronotum bears a clayish ochraceous cross, the stem of 

 which is again dilated right and left into a spur in front of the 

 carina. The clayish ochraceous sides of the pronotum bear two 

 black spots. The angle of the carina is a little over 90° with the 

 extreme tip slightly rounded off. The elytra are characterized by 

 a round black spot on the subbasal callosities^ and by the clayish 

 ochraceous postmedian band being oblique from stripe 3 and pro- 

 duced forward in interspaces 2 and 3 to nearly the oblong sutural 

 antemedian spot, which the projections often join. The band is not 

 connected with the antemedian limbal spot. The sterna and 

 abdomen are without brown spots. The antennae are rufescent 

 brown, with the proximal segments, sometimes the whole shaft, 

 pale rufous. The legs also are rufous, the centre of the femora, the 

 apex of the tibiae and the first tarsal segment being usually more 

 or less brownish.
