Ochresius sticticus. (Pl. XIV., fig. 8). 
O. elongatus, pube flavescenti sat dense tectus ; elytris basi con- 
fertim punctatis, punctis nitidis, aliis conspicuis dispersis, apice 
singulorum acute spinoso. Long. 15 lin. 
Hab. St. Catharine’s (Brazil). 
Elongate, black, nitid, rather closely covered with a pale 
brownish yellow pubescence ; head and prothorax finely punctured, 
the latter shorter than the breadth ; antenne rather longer than 
the body, pubescent, with short slender hairs beneath; scutellum 
semicircular; elytra about five times longer than the prothorax, 
and nearly twice as broad at the base, the apex of each terminating 
in an acute spine, the base closely punctured, also some granules 
near the scutellum, the rest of the elytra with larger and irregularly 
scattered punctures; body beneath and legs finely pubescent. 
ORICA. 
This generic name is proposed for ‘‘ Zygocera? albo- 
virgata” of Fairmaire (‘ Le Naturaliste,’ Jan. 15, 1888, 
p. 28, with fig.). I place the genus in the ‘‘ Phrynetides ” 
of Lacordaire, but it differs from all the other genera of 
the “‘groupe”’ in the antenne, the basal joint being 
oblong-pyriform, the fourth—and longest—slender and 
curved, the remainder short and gradually thicker to the 
last, which, from the middle, is suddenly and shortly 
subulate; the intermediate tibiz are notched, as in 
Pachystola, while the coloration approximates it to 
Mallonia albo-signata. Itisfrom Madagascar. Zygocera 
of Dejean’s Catalogue was first characterised by Erichson 
(Wiegm. Arch., 1842, p. 223) with Z. cwnosa as the 
type, but merely in an incidental way, so that Thomson 
first (Kssai, p. 111), then Westwood (Trans. Ent. Soc. 
Lond., ser. 3, vol. 1., p. 626), and lastly Lacordaire 
(Gen. Coleopt., t. ix., p. 499) ignored his description, 
each giving one of his own; Thomson’s, however, was 
founded on Newman’s Callipyrga, as he, himself, after- 
wards recognised.
