the elytra more acute, and tlie punctures larger than in the type, 

 but in other respects I can see nothing to warrant its separation.

 Characteres ut in Sertxia, sed fro72s inter antennas cristata, 



oculi divisi, et antenna; crassiores. 

 The very remarkable and unique example on which I have 

 founded tins genus is at once distinguished by its divided eyes, 

 independently of the strange crest which it bears in front, and 

 which, even if it be generically characteristic, is perhaps only an 

 appendage of the male sex. 



Bacchisa coronata. (PI. XV. fig. 11.) 



B. rufo-lutea ; antennis elytrisque nigro-chalybeatis. 



Hah. — Flores. 



Clear yellowish-red, the antennae and elytra blueish-black ; 

 head impunctate, very broad in front, spreading out to the an- 

 tennary tubers, which are very widely apart, the space between 

 them concave, but sending up in the middle an erect squarish 

 protuberance, slightly bilobed above, each lobe tipped with a 

 pencil of long hairs, a similar but smaller pencil of hairs clothing 

 each of the antennary tubers, an elevated line in front extending 

 from the notch in the protuberance to the lip ; eyes black ; pro- 

 thorax nearly obsoletely punctured; scutelium semicircular; 

 elytra irregularly punctured, covered with a scattered coarse 

 greyish pubescence, the apex rounded ; body beneath and legs 

 more luteous, the tarsi and ends of the tibial brownish ; antennae 

 black, half as long again as the body, slightly hairy. 



Length 5 lines.

 Caput mediocre, antice transversum. Oculi emarginati, lobo 

 superiore multo minore. Antennce corpore longiores, fili- 

 formes, scaj)o tenuiter cylindrico, articulo tertio incrassato, 

 sequentibus brevioribus et aequalibus. Elytra paulo de- 

 pressa. Frothorax, j:eJcs, &c. ut in Serixia. 

 Besides the character of the antenna?, this genus has a more 

 depressed and less compact form than Serixia. This, however, is 

 more evident in some species than in others. The species scarcely 

 very in size, and the pubescence is less silky than in Serixia.
