posterior angles of the prothorax are strongly rounded. 

 The sides of the elytra are straight, whereas in N. 

 decidua they are flexuous. The third species, N. bi- 

 macidata, Gestro (Ann. Mus. Genov., xv., p. 59), is from 

 Sumatra, and differs, according to the description, in 

 having only one black patch on each elytron, and the 

 suture somewhat raised. There is no description of the 

 eyes, but it is stated that there is a tuft of scales on the 

 inner orbital margin of each of the superior ones : this 

 tuft exists in both the other species, although in N. 

 lynceus it is very small in comparison with that of 

 N. decidua. 



Acrops, Dalman. 



Acrops punctata, Fabr. 



Appears to be common ; the specimens vary from 

 3f mm. to 6 mm. in length. 



Ancyrona, Reitter. 

 Deutsche Ent. Zeitschr., xx., p. 77 (1876). 



Ancyrona pry eri, n. s. 



Subrotundate, a little longer than broad, much de- 

 pressed, rather dark dusky brown, moderately closely 

 covered with short, stiff, bristle-like, dirty yellow hairs, 

 which are hooked at the extremity. Head transverse, 

 embedded in an emargination of the prothorax. Antennae 

 brownish testaceous, club rather paler. Prothorax at 

 the base more than three times as broad as long, much 

 narrowed in front, finely and not very closely punctured, 

 more thickly so at the sides, rather strongly emarginate 

 in front, sides of the emargination oblique, anterior 

 angles nearly right angles, slightly blunted, sides gently 

 arcuate and finely margined, the margins very finely 

 serrulate, posterior angles somewhat acute. Scutellum 

 transverse, rounded behind. Elytra about twice as long 

 as the head and prothorax together, crenate-striate, 

 interstices broad, impunctate, and uneven ; humeral 

 angles slightly rounded ; sides broadly dilated at the 

 base, then gradually less and less dilated to the apex. 

 Under side sordid testaceous. Prosternum impunctate. 

 Abdomen with the penultimate segment rather strongly 

 and not very closely punctured, the last segment concave,
