the upper one is produced into a slightly hollow quadrangular process 
slightly bi-sinuate on the upper edge, serrate on the outer, each 
interval of the serration bearing a long hair ; labial palpi long, apical 
joint fusiform but slightly more swollen outwardly than inwardly ; 
maxille triquetrous, sharp and curved at the tip and having a very 
plain inner median tooth ; clypeus nearly as long as the head, concave, 
broadly vertical in front, not separated from the frontal part by a 
suture or a carina, frontal part with a slight basal transverse ledge, 
labrum very narrow, not sinuate ; antenne 10-jointed, the tri-jointed 
club of the male as long as the pedicel, seventh joint compressed, 
fitting against the base of the club; prothorax a little ampliated and 
rounded laterally in the median part, slightly sinuate in the posterior, 
and with the basal angles sharp, base strongly sinuate; scutellum 
cordate; elytra sub-parallel, somewhat convex and covering the 
greatest part of the propygidium ; pygidium large, bluntly triangular, 
vertical, plane; abdominal segments free, the penultimate with a 
narrow membranous hinge nearly twice as broad as the ante- 
penultimate; anterior tibie bi-dentate outwardly; tarsi a little 
longer than the tibie the intermediate and posterior ones of which 
have a sharp oblique ciliate median carina on the outer side, claws 
slender, long, somewhat aculeate underneath at middle. 
The insect included in this genus, and the female of which is 
unknown, resembles closely the species of Achloa; the head, pro- 
thorax, and under side are likewise quite as densely pubescent, but it 
differs by the 10-jointed antenne, the singular shape of the labial 
palpi, the vertical pygidium, and the bi-dentate tibiz. 
PSEUDACHLOA LEONINA, N. spec. 
Male: Very light chestnut, somewhat testaceous, head, prothorax, 
scutellum and the whole under side clothed with a thick, long, fulvous 
pubescence almost as dense as in some species of Sparrmannia ; 
clypeus finely, head more deeply punctured, each puncture bearing 
a long setulose, erect hair ; prothorax and scutellum finely yet deeply 
and closely punctured; elytra sub-parallel, slightly narrower at the 
base than the basal part of the prothorax the sharp angles of which 
project a little beyond the rounded humeral part, slightly tri-costulate 
on each side and faintly striate on each side of the costules, covered 
with somewhat scattered, somewhat deep punctures, most of which 
bear a somewhat long, appressed light fulvous hair, arranged in 
longitudinal rows, the outer margins have a fringe of long, sub-ciliate 
hairs; the propygidium is abruptly declivous and like the perpen- 
dicular pygidium very closely aciculate, both are clothed with a dense
