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



ledgment of the liberality and courtesy shown by him to all wish- 

 ing to examine that extensive collection of everything pertaining 

 to our Indian empire. 



Eris. 



Head wider than the thorax : the palpi short, filiform ; the 

 antennae longer than the body, distant at their insertion, the basal 

 and fourth joint of equal length, but graduated from the third. 

 Eyes reniform. Thorax narrow, longer than broad, unarmed ; 

 elytra depressed. Legs moderate. 



The affinities of this genus are not very evident, but I am dis- 

 posed to place it for the present near Olenocampius ; the only 

 species known bears a considerable general resemblance to some 

 /inthribidce, also natives of the same region. 



Eris anthriboides. (PI. XXII. fig. 7.) 



E. brunnea, capite (vertice alba) prothoraceque nigro bilineato; 

 elytris punctatis bicostatis, pilis griseis brevissimis vestitis ; 

 antennis longis, ciliatis, pedibusque fuscis variegatis. Borneo. 



Brown, crown of the head white, on each side from the eyes 

 and over the protliorax a black stripe ; beneath the eye a white 

 mark, becoming greyish as it extends over the side and under 

 parts; scutellnm small; elytra covered with a greyish pile, each 

 having two longitudinal ridges, the outer one being much less dis- 

 tinct ; antennae long, black, the bases of the joints from the third 

 to the seventh grey ; anterior legs brown, the four posterior va- 

 ried, the tibiae ringed with grey in the middle. 



Length 6 lines. 



Nemotragus cincticorms, 



N. brunneus, punctatus supra flavescenti-infra albo-squamo- 

 sus ; elytrorum lateribus nudis ; antennis longissimis, articulo 

 septimo albo-cincto. Natal. 



Brown, covered above with yellowish scales, except the sides 

 of the elytra, which are bare, prothorax finely, elytra more 

 coarsely punctured ; antennae very long, with the seventh joint 

 having the upper half white, except a very small portion at the 

 apex ; fourth and fifth joints occasionally pale at the base ; legs 

 very short, under surface covered with white scales. 



Length 11 lines; of the antennae 30 lines. 



1 here is what appears to be but a variety, differing considerably 

 in size, but with no other characters apparently.
