162 Mr. B. P. Uvarov's Notes on 



with margins parallel, convergent forwards where they are continuous 

 with the margins of the frontal ridge, but not backwards. Occiput 

 without a median carina and postocular radial rugosities. Pronotum 

 rather compressed laterally, distinctly narrowed forwards ; median 

 keel well developed, but low, in profile straight, in prozona obtusely 

 tridentate, in metazona slightly convex ; third sulcus in the middle ; 

 lateral keels rather well developed, though obtuse, reaching the hind 

 margin, but obliterate close to the fore margin and almost obliterate 

 between the first and second sulcus, gradually divergent backwards, 

 deeply cut by transverse sulci; fore margin rotundato-promincnt ; 

 hind angle practically straight, rounded at the apex, with the sides 

 somewhat concave; lateral lobes slightly higher than long, with 

 the lower margin straight, fore angle obliquely truncate and rounded, 

 hind angle straight, scarcely rounded. Prostcrnal tubercle short, 

 thick, conical. Mesosternal interspace trapezoidal, a little broader 

 than long and almost as wide as one of the lobes; metasternal 

 interspace subquadrate. Elytra extending beyond the hind knees, 

 with sparse, but thick reticulation. Wings not coloured. Hind 

 femora short, moderately broad, not at all thickened ; upper carina 

 feebly serrulate ; lower carina not dilated, regularly convex. Hind 

 tibiae very feebly incurved, with 5-6 outer and 8 inner spines. Last 

 tergite dilated and rotundato-emarginate. Supra-anal plate slightly 

 broader than long, with the sides rounded and an apical lobe; 

 median keel low, bifurcate basally; two rather large chitinous 

 tubercles about the middle, close to the median keel. Cerci with 

 thick basal part and round, attenuate and recurved apical part, 

 with the apex rather acute. Subgenital plate small, round. 



Genotype : Brachyphymus sulfuripes, sp. n. 



This genus is easily separated from Euryphymus, to which 

 it is rather closely alhed, by the shape of the prosternal 

 tubercle and of the cerci, which are of the same type as in 

 Calliptarmdus.

(Plate I, fig. 22.) 



Q. Ochraceous, with abundant brick-red spots and dots, and 

 with blackish design. Antennae whitish. Face pale, marmorated 

 with brown. Cheeks whitish with brick-red marmoration. Fasti- 

 gium of vertex with the apex brownish, and with a brick-red longi- 

 tudinal fascia almost reaching the pronotum and including a more 

 narrow blackish fascia. Pronotum on the ujDjjerside reddish- 

 ochraceous, marmorated with brown, blackish along the lateral
