Hob. Ceylon. 



This is rather a suspicious Stromatium ; but I can find no 

 generic difference except the absence of the sutural spine — 

 too slight a character to justify its separation. 



Cymaterus. 



Caput exsertum, antice productum. Antemue breves, crassae ( $ ). 

 Protlwrax breviter ovatus. Elytra breviuscula. Coxce anticce 

 separatee. Abdomen breve, subconicum. 



The characters of this genus are nearly identical with those 

 of Erythrus, but in fades the two genera are essentially 

 different. The shorter elytra and abdomen, the latter nar- 

 rowing gradually behind and not depressed, compared with 

 the long elytra and abdomen parallel at the sides and below 

 the level of the sterna, show, however, that they belong to 

 different types. The sculpture of the prothorax is unique. 



Cymaterus torridus. 



C. niger,opacus ; prothorace, vittis duabus exceptis, humerisque satu- 

 rate rubris ; capite antice rufo-piceo, confertim punctato, in medio 

 annulo profunde impresso ; antennis f ortiter serratis ( $ ), articulo 

 primo rude punctato ; prothorace transversimundulato-sculpturato, 

 nigro-bivittato, apice paulo angustiore ; scutello scutiformi, fulvo- 

 sericeo ; elytris confertim punctatis, lateribus fere parallelis, 

 apicibus suboblique truncatis ; corpore infra dense argenteo- 

 piloso. Long. (5 lin. 



Hab. Ellopura.

 punctato ; antennis articulis tribus basalilras, tertio apice excepto, 

 luteis, caateris nigris ; scutello nigro ; elytris longe cuneatis, api- 

 cibus acixtis, singulo in medio vitta, fere impuctata, conformi,
