Longicornia Malay ana. 363 



their abruptly-deflected elytra, which, in the few species of Glenea 

 with simple or nearly simple claws, will distinguish them from 

 SaperdincB. 



While the AmfhionychirKje are confined to tropical America,* 

 the Phytceciince are spread over the rest of the world, except 

 Australia and probably many or most of the Pacific Islands. 

 When we consider that Mr. Wallace detected above 160 species 

 of this sub-family in New Guinea and other parts of the Malayan 

 Archipelago, we cannot but be struck with its entire absence 

 from Australia ; but it is only one among many instances which go 

 to prove how thoroughly distinct are the beetle-faunas of the two 

 regions. In the present Collection the great bulk of the species 

 is confined to Glenea and Oberea. The latter genus is known in 

 Europe. The 163 species here described I have distributed into 

 ten genera, but a few Oberece remain for further examination.
