Hab. Ind. Or. 
Black. Elytra of a polished ferruginous brown. Mandibles 
somewhat flattened, more especially at the base, strongly punc- 
tured ; tips acute and bending upwards ; a sharp prominent tooth 
behind the tip, succeeded by a smaller one, and at the base a broad 
obtusely bifid and slightly elevated process. Head closely punc- 
tured, with the hind margin highly polished, and two small round 
anterior depressions on the vertex, very slightly emarginate; 
clypeus small, deflexed and triangular. The prothorax is about 
the width of the body; like the head closely punctured, with a 
slightly impressed central line ; the posterior angles slightly emar- 
ginate. Elytra polished, ferruginous brown, darkest on the 
suture and at the sides. Legs ferruginous, margined and varied 
with black. Tarsi black; anterior tibiz serrated externally with 
three or four small irregularly disposed spines, the apical tooth 
very prominent and much curved. 
Gen. OvontoraBis, Hope. 
Anoplocnemus, Id. 
The genus Anoplocnemus, Hope (vid. Tr. Ent. Soc. iii. 279), 
was founded on and included only a single species, viz., 4. Bur- 
meistert (Hope, Cat. pp. 5 and 16), a gigantic species from the 
Mysore district, Northern India, at present in the Hopeian Coll. 
at Oxford (and which may possibly hereafter prove to be only an 
extreme variety of Odontolabis Cuvera). ‘The principal character 
assigned to the genus is the absence of spines from all the tibia. 
As in every other respect there is nothing to distinguish it from 
the ordinary form and character of the several species belonging 
to Odontolabis, which, when fully developed, have almost invariably 
their fore tibia unarmed, I have incorporated Anoplocnemus with 
Odontolabis, of which genus numerous species have lately been 
added to our coilections, 
I am at a loss to imagine why Dr. Burmeister preferred esta- 
blishing Anoplocnemus as a genus in preference to Odontolabis, Mr. 
Hope having notified only one species of the former to fourteen 
of the latter.
