body ; the tarsi are always short, with the claw-joint usually of 

 remarkable size. 



This sub-family appears to be confined to tropical America 

 and to the Malayan region ; in Mr. Wallace's collection it is re- 

 presented by a single individual, which, I am sorry to say, is in a 

 very poor condition, and it is only because of its importance as 

 the sole representative of its sub-family that I have noticed it. 

 Besides several genera described by M. J. Thomson, but un- 

 known to me (except Atossa), and some of which may probably 

 prove to belong to this sub-family, I have two or three unpub- 

 lished forms which I include in it ; I think also that Mr. New- 

 man's genus Epap/tra from Manilla may also be referred to it, 

 although of a somewhat aberrant character. 



Genus. 

 Phelipara, n. g. 



Phelipara. 

 Caput fronte modice productum, infra oculos vix dilatatum, 

 tuberibus antenniferis validis, contiguis, fere erectis. Oculi 

 tenuegranulati, mediocres, lobis superioribus parvis, approxi- 

 matis. /^??<enK« fimbriatae ; scapo elongato, cylindrico. Pro- 

 thorax capite paulo latior, sub-cylindricus. Elytra elongata, 

 basi prothorace multo latiora, postice sensim attenuata, api- 

 cibus sinuatis, angulo externo dentato. Pedes breves ; 

 femora incrassata ; pro<i7»?« curvatae ; tarsi aequales, articulo 

 ultimo valde elongato. Coxoi anticae globosae, divergentes, 

 baud approximatae. Pro- et mesa-sterna mutica. 

 The antennas of this unique example are broken off at the third 

 joint ; in other respects it appears to have most of the characters 

 of Pachypeza, but with larger claw-joints, the anterior coxae more 

 globose, and the apices of the elytra sinuate. 



Phelipara marmorata. 

 P. fuscescens, pube sparsa tecta ; elytris basi albo-marmoratis, 



postice lineis longitudinalibus fulvis. 

 Sab. — Sarawak. 



Pale brownish, covered with a thin mostly greyish pile ; eyes 

 margined with yellow hairs, two lines of yellow hairs also on the 

 cheeks below the eyes ; prothorax transversely corrugated, the 

 anterior and posterior borders and five stripes between the apical 

 and basal grooves composed of yellow hairs ; elytra finely punc-
