scales. Thorax rather broader than long, sides rounded, narrowed at 
base and apex, lateral border obsolete, its place occupied by a few nearly 
obsolete teeth; disk transversely flattened, forming an indistinct angle 
with the side portion of the thorax, closely punctured. Elytra broader 
than the thorax, nearly three times its length, sides parallel, surface 
deeply and closely punctured, the punctures arranged in striz on the 
inner half near the suture, confused on the outer disk near the lateral 
border, interspaces irregularly raised and thickened. 
Genus Hemrrrarys, Baly. 
Body subelongate, subcylindrical, opake, covered above with long, strongly 
curved, suberect scales, the apical half of which is narrowed and thread- 
like. Head deeply buried in the thorax, perpendicular; antenne sub- 
filiform, shorter than half the body, basal joint incrassate, second 
shorter than the first, moderately incrassate, four following joints each 
rather shorter than the second, nearly equal both in size and length, 
the sixth alone being rather shorter than the preceding, seventh to the 
eleventh gradually but slightly increasing in thickness; eyes entire; 
eprstome transverse, its hinder border forming the segment of a circle ; 
mentum with its anterior margin concave ; terminal joint of mazillary 
palpi slender, ovate, its apex attenuate. Thorax subcylindrical, the 
sides strongly deflexed, and produced in front downwards as far as 
the middle of the eyes, their hinder portion deeply excavated near the 
base to receive the profemora; front edge of disk produced anteriorly, 
and concealing the head from above. /ytra broader than the thorax, 
parallel, their surface irregular, deeply punctured. Legs robust; thighs 
armed beneath with a stout tooth; claws bifid. Prosternwm transverse 
quadrate, its anterior margin continuous with that of the episternum ; 
episternum wedge-shaped, strongly incurved, its surface horizontal, and 
forming nearly a right angle with the side of the thorax. Mesosternum 
transverse. 
Type, Hemuplatys Pascoei, Baly. Cambodia. 
Hemiplatys is separated from Apolepis, its nearest ally, by the 
peculiar position of the anterior episterna. 
Hemiplatys Pascoei, Baly. 
H, subelongate, subcylindrical, opake, piceous, covered above with long, 
suberect, strongly curved scales; surface of thorax irregular, remotely 
punctured, the broader scales on the disk intermingled with slender 
hair-like scales; elytra deeply punctured, interspaces thickened and 
elevated, almost tuberculate on the sides; disk with five or six tufts of 
large, rigid, erect, black scales, the apices of which are, as usual, pro- 
longed into a slender thread.—Long 13 lin.

Epistome coarsely and closely punctured ; forehead nearly smooth in 
the middle, the sides more closely punctured, its scales more slender
