  ANOMiEARTHRiA, 
  a 
  new 
  geuus 
  of 
  the 
  Baridiida, 
  near 
  Cylindrocerus. 
  Tlie 
  female 
  

   of 
  the 
  species 
  on 
  which 
  the 
  new 
  genus 
  is 
  founded, 
  differs 
  from 
  Cylindrocerus 
  in 
  having 
  

   all 
  the 
  joints 
  of 
  the 
  funiculus 
  of 
  the 
  antennae 
  obconic, 
  and 
  the 
  rostrum 
  very 
  strongly 
  

   curved, 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  point 
  is 
  directed 
  backwards 
  ; 
  and 
  the 
  male 
  is 
  distinguished 
  from 
  

   all 
  other 
  Baridlidce 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  funiculus 
  composed, 
  first, 
  of 
  a 
  very 
  small 
  joint, 
  then 
  

   a 
  very 
  large 
  oval 
  joint, 
  and 
  with 
  the 
  following 
  joints 
  all 
  nearly 
  oval 
  but 
  decreasing 
  

   successively 
  in 
  size. 
  The 
  middle 
  tibiae 
  at 
  the 
  apex, 
  the 
  posterior 
  tibia? 
  on 
  the 
  inner 
  

   side, 
  and 
  the 
  basal 
  joint 
  of 
  the 
  four 
  posterior 
  tarsi 
  are 
  each 
  furnished 
  with 
  a 
  tuft 
  of 
  

   velvet-liiie 
  yellow 
  hairs. 
  

  

  A. 
  cmruleifennis 
  is 
  nearly 
  equal 
  in 
  size 
  to 
  Cylindrocerus 
  signum, 
  but 
  of 
  a 
  narrower 
  

   form; 
  glossy 
  black, 
  with 
  the 
  elytra 
  purple-blue, 
  a 
  small 
  spot 
  of 
  yellow 
  scales 
  at 
  the 
  

   base 
  of 
  each 
  elytron, 
  not 
  far 
  from 
  the 
  scutellum 
  : 
  male, 
  with 
  the 
  joints 
  of 
  the 
  funicu- 
  

   lus 
  clothed 
  with 
  long 
  hairs, 
  and 
  the 
  body 
  with 
  scattered 
  yellow 
  scales 
  beneath.

  Pbotopalus, 
  Schonherr 
  (firyptorhynchidce). 
  Mr. 
  Waterhouse 
  expresses 
  an 
  opinion 
  

   that 
  the 
  characters 
  of 
  this 
  genus 
  are 
  drawn 
  up 
  from 
  a 
  male 
  insect 
  only, 
  and 
  that 
  the 
  

   female 
  does 
  not 
  present 
  the 
  crenulations 
  on 
  the 
  under 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  rostrum, 
  and 
  that 
  

   it 
  differs 
  further 
  from 
  the 
  male, 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  anterior 
  legs 
  very 
  little 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  

   others. 
  This 
  opinion 
  is 
  founded 
  upon 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  he 
  possesses 
  an 
  insect 
  presenting 
  

   these 
  diff"erences 
  (and 
  these 
  only), 
  when 
  compared 
  with 
  Schonherr's 
  description 
  of 
  

   P. 
  Slephcnsi. 
  A 
  second 
  species 
  is 
  described, 
  which 
  difi'ers 
  from 
  the 
  insect 
  referred 
  to 
  

   in 
  Mr. 
  Waterhouse's 
  collection, 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  thorax 
  and 
  elytra 
  rather 
  less 
  humped, 
  

   and 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  second 
  joint 
  of 
  the 
  funiculus 
  fully 
  twice 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  first. 
  Its 
  

   length 
  7^
