 breviusculo; quinto scapo asquali; ceteris gradatim 

 decrescentibus. Prot/wrax apice haud capite latior, 

 antice subglobosus, postice constrictus, lateribus 

 inermis. Elytra brevia, depressa. Pedes mediocres, 

 gradatim longiores ; femora clavata ; tibice posticae 

 elongatee ; tarsi subeequales. Coxce anticae exsertae,

The habit of the only species of this genus is that of 

 Tillomorpha lineoligera, near which I had casually placed 

 it, but an examination of its anterior coxte and the struc- 

 ture of its abdomen shows that its true place is with 

 Ohrium and its allies. The sculpture of the prothorax 

 resembles that of Enderces, one of the GJytince. There 

 is only one specimen in the collection. 



Iphra tillomorpli oides. 



I. nigra; elytris fasciis duabus argenteis, prima inter- 

 rupta.

 minute short longitudinal lines, both nearly glabrous, but 

 the latter with a slight silvery reflection at the constricted

 as long again as the head and prothorax together, finely 

 punctured, the punctures gradually disappearing towards 

 the apex, near the middle a short transverse patch com- 

 posed of silvery hairs, nearer the base and sides a more 

 irregular and less distinct patch, behind the middle a 

 nearly straight silvery band, the part between the bands 

 covered with a deep black tomentum ; body beneath, and
