44 Mr. F. P. Pascoe's Descriptions of New Genera 



specks in the elytra. In my specimen the under surface is not so 

 brightly marked as in the first species, and the sides of the elytra 

 are nearly parallel, not dilated posteriorly. 

 Length 7 lines. 



ACROCYRTA. 



$ Antennae longer than the body, basal and fourth joint shorter 

 than the third, fifth to the eleventh longest and subequal, and all 

 from the third to the ninth more or less thickened and spined at 

 the end ; the eleventh (in $ only) hooked ; thorax lengthened, 

 subcylindrical ; elytra rounded, spined at the apex ; legs long, 

 four posterior femora biapiculate, tibiae and tarsi much com- 

 pressed. 



The remarkable apical hook of the antenncB exactly resembles 

 that of Ancylocera, but is found only in the males ; the genus is 

 allied to Clylus. 



Acrocyrta clytoides. (PI. XVI. fig. 1.) 

 A. atra ; prothorace punctata, angulis posterioribus albo-mar- 

 ginatis ; elytris pilosis, roaculis duabus, scutelloque albis. 

 Borneo. 

 Black, head minutely punctured ; prothorax more coarsely and 

 closely punctured, the inferior and lower margin with a narrow 

 border of white hairs, the anterior portion having an indistinct 

 blueish blotch on each side ; scutellum white ; elytra impunctate, 

 with two white hairy fasciate marks, the basal mark bent with its 

 apex towards the scutellum, the apical nearly transverse in both, 

 becoming attenuate as they approach the margin ; body beneath 

 pilose, black, with the borders of the episternum and two first 

 abdominal segments white ; antennae with the first five joints 

 black, the three next leaden at the base, the rest black. 

 Length 71 lines. 



Astathcs simulator. 

 A. rubro-miniata, hirsuta; thorace gibbosa ; elytris concavis, 

 postice dilatatis, apice marginali oblique spinosis ; oculis 

 nigris. Borneo. 

 Of a dark red colour and shining, covered with nearly erect 

 setose hairs ; thorax rough, raised into a prominent somewhat 

 bifid gibbosity ; elytra concave, posteriorly dilated, and each ter- 

 minating on the inner margin in a spine directed obliquely out- 

 ward ; antcnnaj with the last two or three joints black. 

 Length 3 4 lines ; $ 5 lines.
