shoulders to near the apex, which is rather abruptly rounded, 
first band directly before the middle, the second considerably be- 
hind it and continued to the apex ; body beneath and legs yellow- 
ish, slightly nitid, varied or clouded with black; antenne fusi- 
form, hairy ; all the tarsi much shorter than the tibiae, the ante- 
rior shortest, claw-joint small. 
Length 44 lines. 
The form of the antenna, and shorter tarsi with small claw- 
joints, are also at variance with the ordinary characters of Hury- 
plera; but as the genus appears to be a large one it will require 
to be more thoroughly examined than has yet been done before 
it can be decided how far the characters. mentioned will afford 
sufficient grounds for the establishment of new genera.

Black; head with a bright yellow pubescence in front; an- 
tenne less than half the length of the body, fulvous, darker to- 
wards the apex, and beyond the middle fusiform, with the joints 
scarcely dilated ; prothorax black, with three bright yellow bands $ 
scutellum narrowly oblong, its apex and the base of the elytra with 
bright yellow hairs, the rest of the elytra nearly glabrous, clouded 
with brown, and having each a pale-yellowish spot cowards the 
apex, which is slightly rounded externally ; body beneath brown- 
ish, an oblique pale yellow line on each side of the metasternum, 
the first abdominal segment pale ochreous ; legs fulvescent, the 
posterior tibiae clothed on the apical half with long brown hairs, 
their tarsi pale straw-colour. 
Length 5 lines. 
The limitations between the three genera Charis, Odontovert 
and Acyphoderes are anything but well defined. Excellent gene- 
ric characters may be drawn from the types of each, almost as a 
matter of course, but the characters, as usual, shade off until 
nothing reliable remains. In a rough kind of way, but one of 
those which, I am sure, will be found in a multitude of cases, 
the only conscientious course that can be pursued, Charis is
