[Read 7th June, 1876.] 



Amongst the recent additions to the Hopeian Museum 

 at Oxford the private collections of various families of 

 Coleopterous insects, made by Mr. Wallace in the 

 Malayan Archipelago, are especially to be noticed, in- 

 cluding the different groups of Malacoderm beetles. 

 Amongst these insects were found several of considerable 

 interest, some of which it is the object of this paper to 

 describe.

This genus is allied to Enoplium, but differs from it, 

 and indeed from all known Colcoptera, in the elongated 

 branch of the 9th joint of the antennae, whilst the 10th 

 joint is not furnished with a similar branch, but is simply
