fasciate elj'tra, smaller eyes, &c., separate Stictodrya from 

 Mijcteromimns. Fairmaire's JMelandryid-genus Diegoa, from 

 Madagascar, is compared with Marolia, and it cannot, there- 

 fore, be very nearly allied to the Seychelles insect. 



4. Stictodrya longipennis , sp. n. (PI. VI. fig. 3, J .) 



cJ . ]\Ioderately shining, piceous, with a faint aeneous lustre, 

 the antennpe and legs testaceous ; variegated above with 

 very fine, adpressed brownish and Havo-ciiiereous pubescence, 

 the latter condensed into dense patches on the prothorax 

 and elytra, forming irregular interrupted fasciae on the 

 latter; the head, prothorax, and scutellura densely, finely 

 })unctiite, the puncturing of the elytra a little more difi^use. 

 Head convex, transversely depressed in front, the post- 

 ocular portion about one-third the length of the eye ; 

 antennse reaching the base of the prothorax, very slender, 

 joints 3-10 gradually decreasing in length, 2 short, stout, 

 3 about twice as long as 2, 9 and 10 triangular, 11 short- 

 ovate. Prothoi-ax transverse, a little wider than the head 

 Avith the eyes, the sides rovmded anteiiorly and parallel 

 behind, the disc obliquely depressed on each side, the small 

 basal fovere polished. Elytra about four times the length 

 of the prothorax, the humeri somewhat oblique in front. 

 Ventral segments 1-5 closely, finely punctate, simple. 



Length 5 J, breadth 2 mm. 



Loc. Seychelles : Mahe. 



One si)t'cimen, beaten from dense forest-vegetation of 

 "Capuciu "-trees [Nortliea)^ Rosc/ieria-\m]ms, &c., on the 

 summit of Morne Pilot, over 2000 feet, xi. 1908. 



jMycteromimus, gen. nov. 



Head short, obliquely narrowed before the eyes, the 

 epistoma not separated from the front ; eyes very large, 

 reaching the anterior margin of the prothorax ; labrum 

 strongly transverse ; antennae short, slender, the outer 

 joints subserrate, 11 short-ovate, simple ; mentum strongly 

 transverse; apical joint of maxillary palpi stout, elongate- 

 triangular; mandibles acute at tip, toothed towards the apex 

 beneath; prothorax short, closely applied to the elytra, bi- 

 sinuate at the base, distinctly margined to near the apex 

 at the sides beneath; scutellum small; elytra much wider 

 than the prothorax, oblong, without trace of strise, the 

 sculpture consisting of intermixed minute and larger punc- 

 tures, the epipleura not reaching the apex; anterior coxic
