NEW GENERA AND SPECIES OF COLEOPTEROUS INSECTS. 101 
Long. corporis 2 lin. ; lat. +. 
Hab. in Nova Hollandia, 
Mus. Hope. 
Descr. Antenne nigre, articulo basali crasso, reliquis extrorsim sensim crassioribus. 
Thoraz ovalis, anticé posticéque contractus, nigro-cyaneus. Elytra cyanea, nitida, 
glaberrima. Corpus subtus nigrum. Pedes concolores. 
As the structure of this insect recedes in many respects from the typical formation 
of Anthicus, I propose the name of Anthelephila', to designate a subgenus for its re- 
ception. The maxillary palpi are unusually large, while the labial are scarcely longer 
than the labiwm, and are terminated by a cup-shaped articulation. 
Fam, HeLopipaz. 
Genus. Lyprops?. 
Labrum transverso-quadratum, anticé emarginatum. 
Mandibule breves, valide, ad apicem 2-dentate. 
Palpi mazillares articulo ultimo securiformi: labiales articulo ultimo ad apicem 
attenuato. 
Antenne sub capitis margine inserte. 
Caput angulis anticis lateraliter subproductis. 
The insect possessing the above characters differs so much from all the Helopide with 
which I am acquainted, as to induce me to separate it under the name of Lyprops, 
having reference to its dull appearance. The insertion of the antenne beneath the 
produced anterior angles of the head is a remarkable feature. The labial palpi resemble 
in their form those of Helops as figured by Mr. Curtis in his ‘ British Entomclogy.’ 
Lyprors CHRYSOPHTHALMUS.
