Belongs to the same group as the curious New-Caledonian 

 Em'codes, but differs totally from that genus in facies and in 

 the narrow pro- and mesosterna. The head of the male is 

 very similar, the orbit of the eyes being abruptly salient, and 

 the mouth, though narrow, extremely broad ; the eyes are 

 simply reniform, with the upper portion rather narrow. 



Ewychmna frayilis, n. sp. 



E. fusco-testaeea, pube subtili olivaceo-einerea vestita, antennis 

 pedibusque olivaceo-testaceis ; tborace laevi, antice et postiee

 humeris exstantibus, supra, basi excepta, punetulatis ; corpore 

 subtus plus minusve rufo-testaceo. Long. 2|-3 Hn. J § . 



The elytra in the male taper a little towards the apex ; in 

 fine fresh examples they have a few dark brown spots and an 

 oblique fascia of the same colour after the middle.
