Mr. J. S. Baly on the Classification of the Eumolpide. 161 
than those on the thorax; antenne scarcely longer than the thorax, 
pale fuscous, their outer half piceous; eyes and jaws black, lower ex- 
tremity of the latter produced, angular. Thorax as broad as long, the 
produced anterior edge (when viewed laterally) appearing to form a 
hood to the head. Body beneath subnitidous, the scales narrower than 
on the upper surface, those on the breast and abdomen less erect and 
very slender. 
Genus Apoepis, Baly. 
Body oblong, subcylindrical, covered with stout, suberect, strongly curved, 
scales similar in form to those in Apolepis. Head perpendicular, 
nearly buried in the thorax ; epistome wedge-shaped ; antenne subfili- 
form, basal joint incrassate, second moderately thickened, equal in 
length to the first, third scarcely equal to the second, slender, all the 
others up to the tenth nearly equal in length to the second, the eleventh 
rather longer, all from the seventh upwards thickened ; eyes rotundate, 
entire, prominent, surrounded by a narrow orbital groove ; mentum with 
its anterior edge angulate; terminal joint of mazillary palpi ovate, 
attenuate towards the apex. Thorax subcylindrical, somewhat more 
convex above, sides rounded, side margin replaced by a single row of 
fine teeth. Elytra deeply punctate-striate, covered with similar scales 
to those of the rest of the body, here, however, arranged in parallel 
longitudinal rows. Legs moderately robust; thighs armed beneath 
with a short tooth; anterior tibie slightly incurved, intermediate 
par notched at their apex; basal joint of tars equal in length to the 
second; claws bifid. Prosternwm transverse, its anterior edge con- 
tinuous with that of the episternum, the episternwm itself produced in 
front. Mesosternum transverse quadrate, its apex obtusely angled. 
Type, Apolepis Wallacei, Baly. Borneo. - 
The only genus with which Apolepis can be confounded is Demo- 
tina; from this the wedge-shaped epistome and strongly curved scales 
will divide it. 
The only species known to me was sent from Borneo by Mr. 
Wallace. 
Apolepis aspera, Baly. 
A, oblong, subcylindrical, piceous, subnitidous, covered with suberect, 
strongly curved, concolorous scales.—Long 13 lin. 
Hab. Borneo (Sarawak). 
Head closely covered with scales. Thorax coarsely punctured. Elytra 
punctate-striate, the interspaces somewhat thickened. 
Genus Lrrina, Baly. 
Body oblong, subcylindrical, clothed with narrow curved scales. Head 
short, deeply immersed in the thorax, perpendicular; mouth concealed 
by the anterior edge of the prosternum ; antenne subfiliform, five ter- 
minal joints thickened, first and second joints nearly equal in length,
