a hockey-stick at the apex (text-fig. 4, a). In the ? the 

 vagina and bursa copulatrix are entirely membranous, only 

 the two palps being feebly chitinized (text-fig. 5,6); but 

 the supporting strut is stout, straight, and broadly forked 

 at the base (text-fig. 5, a) ; the receptaculum is very small, 

 slender, and irregular in shape (text-fig. 5,b). 

 Genotype, Ancylocnemis fasciculata, sp. n. 

 In the systems of both Lacordaire and Leeonte, this genns 

 is referable to the Anthonomince, but it presents no special 

 affinity with any of the other genera in the subfamily, being 

 distinguished among other things by its closely approxi- 

 mated eyes, the striking armature of the legs, and the very 

 broad intercoxal process of the venter. 



In its general features it more resembles some of the 

 broader species of the Oriental genus Acicnemis, Fairm., 

 which also exhibit the large tooth on the hind femora and 

 the broad ventral intercoxal process; but they differ in 

 having the eyes distinctly separated, a well-marked post- 

 ocular thoracic lobe, an abbreviated 10th stria on the elytra, 

 simple and non-divaricate claws, etc. 



Ancylocnemis fasciculata, sp. n. (PI. XIII. fig. 2.) 



J ? . Ground-colour piceous, cowred with dense greyish- 

 brown scaling, variegated with paler markings and with 

 numerous tufts of scales. Head and prothorax with buff 

 scaling, the latter with a broad median conical brown patch, 

 which is narrow on the front margin and rapidly widens to 

 the base, and with a few white scales in the middle of the 

 base; scutellum with white scaling ; the elytra with grey- 

 brown scaling, mottled with buff and whitish scales towards 

 the sides and apex, with a quadrate dark brown sutural patch 

 just before the middle and a similar buff or whitish patch 

 immediately behind it, which is shortly extended along the 

 suture, the shoulders with a patch of overlapping buff scales ; 

 the lower surface with buff or light brown scaling ; the legs 

 either grey or buff, mottled with brown. 



Head with two small scale-tufts on the vertex; the space 

 between the eyes about as broad as the scape at its middle. 

 Rostrum of $ coarsely and continently punctate throughout, 

 with a well-marked smooth median carina almost reaching 

 the apex, and a sharp lateral carina from the base to the 

 antennae ; in the ? rather longer and more slender, finely 

 and sparsely punctate in the apical half, the carinas much 

 less distinct, the median one disappearing beyond the 

 antenna?. Prothorax a little broader than long, parallel-
