lineate-punctate, the punctures very small and in about 14 lines, but 
the fifth and eighth forming double lines of smaller punctures, all dis- 
appearing near the apex ; body beneath shining ; femora nearly black ; 
tibize and tarsi subferruginous. Length 8 lines. 
Probably a proper genus. I have referred it here on account of 
its antenne, rather than to Cyphaleus, but the epipleure of the 
elytra are not horizontal as in Platyphanes. Is not Platyphanes vit- 
tatus, Westw., an Hemicera? 
Eveyrrvs [{Cnodaline]. 
Caput exsertum, ante oculos brevissimum; clypeus distinctus, transversus, 
ad basin antennarum truncatus, apice emarginatus. Zabrum transver- 
sum. Mandibule apice integree. Palpi maxillares securiformes ; labiales 
art. ultimo elongato-ovato. Mentwm haud carinatum, transversum, 
antice truncatum. Palpilabiales art. ult. oblongo-ovato. Antenne art. 
30 quam Imus Jongiore, 5° vel 6-10 sensim latioribus et brevioribus, com- 
pressis, ultimo majore, rotundato, Prothorax transversus, apice sub- 
sinuatus, ad latera rotundatus, fortiter marginatus, postice constrictus, 
basi bisinuatus. Elytra late ovata, prothorace latiora. Pedes validi; 
femora intermedia et posteriora aliquando infra hirsuta; tibre rectee, 
mutice, intus ad apicem villose; tars subdilatati, articulo ultimo 
ceteris simul sumptis breviore. Prosternwm latum, postice depressum, 
mucrone brevi verticali terminatum. Mesosternwm antice excavatum. 
Processus interfemoralis triangularis. 
These characters apply to Lucyrtus pretiosus of Dejean’s catalogue, 
briefly described by M. Lacordaire in his ‘Genera’ (y. p. 417, note), 
but they do not apply to Hope’s Scoteus, into which that learned 
entomologist has merged the genus of Dejean. Scoteus has a re- 
tracted head, the clypeus produced beyond the antennary lobes, the 
antenne subserrate, prothorax finely margined at the sides, the four 
posterior femora not hairy beneath, the tibiee glabrous; the tarsi are 
much longer and more attenuated, with the claw-joint very long ; 
above all, the prosternum is horizontally prolonged posteriorly, and is 
received into a long narrow groove of the mesosternum. Borneo 
seems to be rich in the species of Hucyrtus. 
Gavromatra [Cnodalinee]. 
Characteres ut in Eucyrto, sed clypeus productus, orbitis antennarum di- 
stinctus, emarginatus. MJazille lobo interiore dentato. Mentwm fere 
semicirculare, basi in processum triangularem productum. Palpi labiales 
art. ult. breviter obconico. Femora sublinearia. Tibie antice tenu- 
atee, curvatee. 
Tam unwilling to introduce characters derived almost entirely
