* Cryptocephalus Jilnm, Chp., referred to Paracephala by Baly, 

 is included here, as the emargination although not deep might fairly 

 be called semicircular ; Gr. cariniventris, n. sp., should perhaps have 

 also been referred to this section ; it is, however, obviously so very 

 close to Gr. larinus, n. sp. (in which the apex is feebly bilobed), that 

 I thought it best not to separate them.
