SoDUS. 



Caput antice transversum, tuberibus antenniferis remotis. 

 OcuU magni, profunde divisi. AntenncB corpora longiores, 

 omnino sparsim setulosse ; scapo cylindrico, apice rotnndato ; 

 articulo tertio longiore ; sequentibus brevioribus et decrescen- 

 tibus. P rothnrax caT^\te vix latior, turgidus, lateraliter rotun-

An isolated genus differing from all others of its sub-family in 

 its scape, which is rounded and not produced at the apex, although 

 there is a slight approach to this structure in Ipocregyes, The 

 habit, however, is not very different from Cacia. Another species 

 is found in Pulo Penang.

 white hairs ; prothorax turgid on the disc, the centre with a longi- 

 tudinal impression ; scutellum very short, transverse ; elytra 

 remotely and irregularly punctured, a very narrow flexuous white
