284 Mr. F. P. Pascoe—Additions to the 
Fulvo-testaceous, covered with a close greyish pile ; body below, three 
basal joints of the antenne, and prothorax smoky brown, rest of the 
antennze and lees fulvo-testaceous, with a very thin greyish pubescence ; 
prothorax about equal in length and breadth, rather narrower behind ; 
elytra irregularly punctured; antenneze more than half as long again as

SYESSITA. 
Caput antice quadratum, tuberibus antenniferis validis, basi approximatis. 
Oculi elongati, late emarginati, lobo superiore parvo. Antenne sub- 
incrassat, corpore paulo longiores, scapo modice elongato, fusiformi, 
articulo secundo tertio obsolete conjuncto, apice producto, quarto scapo 
eequali, ceteris brevibus, gradatim descrescentibus. Prothorax parvus, 
quadratus, lateraliter subdentatus, capite angustior. Elytra oblonga, 
parallela, subdepressa, lineis longitudinalibus elevatis. Pedes breves ; 
femora modice incrassata ; tibie antice recte, intermediz haud emargi- 
nate. Pro- et meso-sterna simplicia. -Abdominis segmentum ultimum 
subelongatum. 
The characters of this genus are very nearly those of Eunidia; 
only the antenne are thicker throughout, the body more depressed, 
the prothorax slightly toothed at the side, and the elytra have raised 
longitudinal lines. It contains three homogeneous yet very distinct 
species.
