new species of Endomycict. 21 
shaped, and with the apex externally and obliquely trun- 
cate, or rounded off. Club alone pitchy-black. 
Hab.—Rio Janeiro ; collected by A. Fry, Esq. 
Obs.—This species is allied both to hemisphericus and 
coccinelloides. From both it may be separated by its 
much shorter, more transverse and convex thorax, as well 
as by its thicker and longer pile. 
Rhymbus decipiens, n. sp. 
Ferrugineus, nitidus, pube aureo-flava micante vestitus, 
thorace brevi subtiliter, elytris sat fortiter punctatis; an- 
tennis articulis quinque ultimis nigris, clava articulis 
precedentibus sub-zquali, articulo ultimo sub-quadrato. 
Long. lin. 13—13, ¢, 9. 
Very nearly allied to the preceding, but smaller; the 
antennz are even shorter, owing to their much shorter 
club, which is not longer than the preceding eight joints ; 
one or two joints before the club black, or nearly so. The 
elytra are more deeply punctured, and (in the four ex- 
amples before me) are not clouded with any darker shade.

Family ENDOMYCHID. 
Genus Panomaa, Gerst. 
Panomea Borneensis, n. sp. 
Rufo-ferruginea, hemispherica, glabra; thorace macula 
transversaé basali, scutello, elytris maculis sex magnis, 
abdominisque segmento primo maculis duabus nigris, an- 
tennis totis rufis. Long. lin. 3—34. 
‘Allied to P. pardalina, Gerst., from which it differs as 
follows: the antennz are entirely red, their third joint is 
rather longer, being more evidently longer than the fourth. 
The scutellum appears rather larger even in proportion to 
the larger size of the body; it is equilateral-triangular and 
only black in the central portion. The elytra want the 
humeral spot, the other six occupying the same positions 
as in pardalina. The first segment of the abdomen has 
~ near its middle two distinct transverse oval black spots; 
these spots are only visible in one of four examples of 
pardalina which are in my collection, in the less fully 
coloured specimens they are quite absent, and in one 
represented by an indistinct cloud which extends to the 
second segment. orm and puncturing of both upper and 
under side similar in both species.
