  Phyllocladus, 
  gen. 
  nov. 
  

  

  Both 
  the 
  species 
  tiiat 
  are 
  placed 
  in 
  this 
  genus 
  were 
  origi- 
  

   nally 
  described 
  as 
  belonging 
  to 
  Dendruides. 
  Though 
  the 
  

   eyes 
  in 
  the 
  male 
  are 
  more 
  closely 
  approximate 
  than 
  is 
  usual 
  

   in 
  Pyrochroa, 
  the 
  structure 
  of 
  the 
  whole 
  insect, 
  especially 
  

   that 
  of 
  the 
  head 
  and 
  antennae, 
  is 
  very 
  different 
  from 
  that 
  

   of 
  Dendruides. 
  The 
  head 
  is 
  elongate, 
  with 
  the 
  frontal 
  

   sculpture 
  of 
  the 
  (5" 
  of 
  a 
  different 
  type 
  from 
  that 
  usual 
  in 
  the 
  

   family, 
  taking 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  two 
  longitudinal 
  subcontiguous 
  

   depressions. 
  The 
  most 
  remarkable 
  feature 
  of 
  the 
  genus, 
  

   however, 
  is 
  afforded 
  by 
  the 
  antennae 
  in 
  the 
  ^ 
  . 
  The 
  

   appendage 
  of 
  each 
  joint 
  arises 
  as 
  a 
  Hat 
  expansion 
  along 
  

   the 
  loigth 
  of 
  the 
  joints 
  and 
  forms 
  a 
  lamellate 
  ramus, 
  each 
  of 
  

   which 
  is 
  twisted 
  on 
  its 
  axis, 
  so 
  that 
  tliey 
  lie 
  one 
  against 
  

   another 
  like 
  the 
  pages 
  of 
  a 
  book. 
  The 
  second 
  joint 
  is 
  

   elongate. 
  Antennae 
  of 
  very 
  similar 
  form 
  are 
  found 
  in 
  Pseudo- 
  

   pyrochroa 
  antennalis, 
  Blr. 
  

  

  The 
  two 
  species 
  placed 
  here 
  are 
  very 
  similar, 
  being 
  large, 
  

   with 
  black 
  head 
  and 
  bright 
  red 
  thorax 
  and 
  elytra. 
  M. 
  Pic 
  

   has 
  kindly 
  compared 
  them 
  for 
  me, 
  and 
  says 
  that 
  they 
  are 
  

   certainly 
  distinct, 
  P. 
  maynificus, 
  Blr., 
  from 
  Burma, 
  having 
  a 
  

   smaller 
  head 
  and 
  the 
  elytra 
  more 
  expanded 
  behind 
  than

  from

  Neopyrochroa, 
  gen. 
  nov. 
  

  

  A 
  new 
  genus 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  required 
  for 
  the 
  North-American 
  

   species 
  hitherto 
  placed 
  in 
  Pyrochroa. 
  They 
  differ 
  con- 
  

   siderably 
  from 
  the 
  European 
  species 
  of 
  this 
  genus, 
  notably 
  

   in 
  the 
  size 
  of 
  the 
  eyes, 
  which 
  are 
  large 
  and 
  extend 
  nearly 
  to 
  

   the 
  back 
  of 
  the 
  head, 
  to 
  the 
  almost 
  complete 
  extrusion 
  of 
  

   any 
  visible 
  genal 
  area 
  between 
  them 
  and 
  the 
  neck. 
  

  

  The 
  type 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  is 
  A^.
