126 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on the Colydiide 
drate, narrowed behind, fringed with short hairs anteriorly, its palpi in- 
serted towards the centre; antenne ten-jointed, slightly concealed at 
the base, the first and second joints incrassate, the remainder to the 
ninth shortly transverse, the tenth forming a solid, rounded club; pro- 
thorax quadrate, or nearly so, with short, erect sete ; scutellum small, 
punctiform; elytra not broader than the prothorax, slightly depressed, the 
sides parallel, each with five rows of erect setee, between each of which 
are two other rows of smaller sete ; body beneath reddish brown, the 
abdomen with short scattered hairs; tibze subtrigonate, shortly spurred ; 
tarsi very short, especially of the anterior pair. Length 1} line. 
CaproDEs. 
Caput breve, transversum, Antenne basi tecte, 11-articulate, articulis 
duobus basalibus incrassatis, clava biarticulata, sulcis antennariis bre- 
vibus. Prothorax convexus, subquadratus, lateribus dentato-setosis. 
Elytra convexa, parallela, Tibie fusiformes, inermes. Corpus breviter 
convexum, parallelum, setosum. 
A more convex form than Synchita, to which it appears to me to be 
the most nearly related of all the genera of this subfamily, but from 
which it differs in the eleven-jointed antenne and in the fusiform 
tibiee. The head in both is very short, a little elevated before the 
eyes, above the insertion of the antenne, and then terminating in a 
straight line, to which the narrow but well-developed lip is attached. 
The specimen now in my collection is the only one I have seen. 
Mr. Wallace informs me that it was taken at the lamp. 
Caprodes asper. (Pl. VIII. fig. 4.) 
C. fuscus, rude punctatus; prothoracis lateribus, labro, antennis pedibus- 
que ferrugineis. 
Hab. Saylee. 
Dark brown, coarsely punctured and covered with rather long, stiff, 
erect setze; head short, transverse, very rugose; lip narrow, smooth ; 
mandibles simple at the apex, but with a strong tooth internally; an- 
tenne ferruginous, only slightly covered at the base, 11-jointed, the 
two basal joints incrassate, the remainder, except the two last, which 
form a rounded, depressed club, shortly obconical ; antennary grooves 
short; prothorax convex, subquadrate, slightly transverse, the sides 
ferruginous anteriorly, not dilated, but very distinctly toothed, each 
tooth bearing a slender seta; scutellum punctiform; elytra scarcely 
broader than the prothorax, short, convex, rugosely impressed, the 
sides very slightly rounded; body beneath chestnut-red, sparingly punc- 
tured, those on the metasternum fewer and longer, fourth abdominal 
segment shorter than the three preceding segments ; legs ferruginous ; 
tibize fusiform, sparingly setose ; tarsi rather slender. Length 1} line.
