strongly produced posteriorly. The female appears to be larger 

 and stouter, with slightly shorter antennae. I have seen speci- 

 mens from Pulo Penang ; a second species is also found in that 

 island.

 Technically this is rather a weakly characterized genus, and Ser- 

 ville, whilst recognizing its distinctness as a group of some sort, 

 seems to have had no better plan than attaching it as a " division" 

 to Lachii'in, which, from his description, appears to belong to the 

 Hypsclouiince, The genus is well represented in Africa, and on 

 the mainland of Asia. Mr. Wallace's Collection contains nine 

 very distinct species, all, with some exceptions, tolerably homo- 

 geneous, but owing to the mixed and indefinite style of their 

 coloration very difficult to describe ; and this difficulty is increased 

 from tlie circiunstance that individuals vary among themselves. 

 Generally the derm is dark brown and glossy to a certain extent,
