Genotype, Cyphus hituherosus. Gyl. 



Genus Lamprocyphus, nov. 



Head shallov/ly constricted behind the eyes. Rostrum \vith the 

 edge of the dorsal area carinate and with a distinct ante-ocular 

 impression ; the scrobes broad, evenly curved and gradually -nadening 

 behind; the mentum plurisetose. Antennae stout; the scape 

 strongl}^ clavate, not exceeding the hind margin of the Qye, setose, 

 and without scaling. Prothorax with the strongly bisinuate basal 

 margin deeply and almost vertically truncate. Elytra with, the 

 shoulders angularly prominent and there twice as broad as the base 

 of the prothorax; stria 10 complete; the posterior callus well 

 developed. Legs stout; the front tibiae angulate internally at 

 the apex, but without a true mucro; the corbels of the hind pair 

 bare (but sometimes with a single row of scales along the apical 

 margin) and not ascending the tibiae ; joint 2 of the tarsi strongly 

 transverse. Sternum with the mesepisternum well separated from

Cyphus elegans Roel. (1880) is a rather aberrant species, 

 having joint 2 of the tarsi as long as or longer than broad, 

 and the mesepimeron concealed ; I am indebted to Mr. 

 A. Bovie, of Brussels, for the opportunity of examining 

 a cotype of this species.
