Famity—CETONIID. Susp-Famity—CREMASTOCHEILIDES. 2 
The colours of this pretty species, and the flat surface of the elytra shewing only the vestiges of longitudinal 
striole visible in the two slender paler-coloured longitudinal lines, will at once distinguish it. The prothorax is 
also comparatively small, and nearly circular. The basal joint of the antenne is very large, and triangular ; 
when at rest it shuts exactly between the sides of the mentum and the eyes, completely concealing the sides of the 
head beneath; the second joint is inserted on its inner surface below the middle (fig. 7a). The mentum is very 
large, forming a covering, indeed, for the under side of the greater part of the head (fig. 7 4); it is angulated in 
the middle of its basal margin, in the front of which it is dilated into a deflexed horn when seen laterally 
(fig. 7c). The maxille have the apical lobe formed into a slender sickle-shaped hook, the lower lobe being 
broader and obliquely truncate; the labial palpi (fig. 77) have the terminal joint curved. The anterior tibie 
have a very slight tooth on the outer edge. All the tarsi are 4-jointed (fig. 7 e, extremity of anterior tibia 
and tarsus; fig. 77, the same of posterior leg). The sides of the elytra and the exposed margin of the sides of 
the metasternum are clothed with luteous pubescence. The abdomen beneath is convex, the basal segments not 
being channelled longitudinally.

This species is of a leaden-black colour, slightly glossy above, thickly but not strongly punctured, the 
punctures of the elytra being oval and cicatricose. The head (fig. 8, t, seen sideways, and fig. 8, 2, from beneath) 
is broad, but not dilated in front of the insertion of the antenne; the fore margin is slightly reflexed, the disc 
of the head is depressed, but the space between the eyes is more elevated. The mentum is very large, and 
marked with fine circular lines; it is produced at the middle of its base into a deflexed spine, as is also the 
anterior margin of the prosternum; the maxille have the inner lobe narrower and less obliquely truncate than 
in the two preceding species (fig. 8, 3). The labial palpi are slender, and do not extend beyond the edges of the 
mentum (fig. 8, 4). All the tarsi are 4-jointed. The length of the elytra and podex is equal to 14 of the base of 
the elytra. Beneath glossy black, with but few distant punctures. The anterior cox are luteous. 
Grenus—CLINTEROCERA. 
(Motschulsky, Etud. Ent. 1857, p. 112.) 
The following is the description given by Motschulsky of an insect which seems closely to resemble Cu//y- 
nomes mandarinus ; but, as it appears that its author had various individuals before him agreeing in having only 
the posterior tarsi 4-jointed (for had the four anterior been in that condition he would certainly have noticed it), 
and as his description of the mentum, ‘élargi antérieurement et rebordé,’ does not agree with my species, I 
am induced for the present to consider them as distinct. 
‘CREMASTOCHILA SCABROSA. 
(Motschulsky, Etud. Ent. 2nd ann. 1854, p. 49.) 
‘Elongata, parallela, depressa, seabroso-punctata, nigra, elytris albo-maculatis, clypeo emarginato ; anten- 
narum articulo primo valde dilatato foliaceo ; thoracis lateribus angulisque rotundatis ; elytris pygidioque eroso- 
punctatis.’ 
Long. 53 lin. ; lat. 23 lin.
