186 M. Louis Peringuey on new genera and species of 



neither head nor apex constricted, eyes projecting ; prothorax sub- 

 cylindrical, but a little broader at the base than at the apex, and 

 with the basal angles somewhat sharp, a little depressed longi- 

 tudinally in the middle and with a very narrow groove ; elytra 

 elongate, convex, attenuate laterally from the median part to the 

 apex, which is acuminate on each side of the suture, striate, with 

 the stria3 distinctly punctured from the base to the middle, intervals 

 slightly convex ; the green scales are denser in the intervals than in 

 the strife, making the dorsal part appear as if it had alternate green 

 and black lines, but the green scales are very dense along the sides ; 

 the prothorax has also a broad supra-lateral denuded band on each 

 side ; legs black, with short pubescence. Length 13-14, width 

 4-4i mm.

BRACHYCERIDES. 



EuEEius, n. gen. 



Head short, eyes flat, surmounted by a very high compressed 

 carinate crest ; rostrum moderately long, slightly bi-constricted 

 laterally, near the base and below the scrobe ; antennse short, and 

 with seven articulations, the scape also short, the 2nd joint 

 equally thick but still shorter, the 3rd joint a little narrower than 

 the following three, the last joint as long as the three pre- 

 ceding, and with the outer part of the tip diagonally truncate ; 

 prothorax very slender, and narrower behind than in front ; 

 elytra very gibbose, sub-pedunculate, retuse behind ; legs very 

 massive, tarsi short, very broad, with the 2nd joint a little broader 

 than the others, and the 4th not much longer than the 3rd, 

 equally broad, all closely articulated. 



E. aurivlllii, n. sp. 



Black, with the median part of the head, the prothorax, a 

 narrow sutural line, as well as the sides of the elytra, and the legs 

 ochraceous-brown ; rostrum with a few short bristles, separated 

 from the head by a slight lateral impression ; head very short, eyes 

 surmounted by a semicircular compressed, very highly raised 

 ridge, having a few very short bristles on the margin ; prothorax
