The original spelling of this generic name was Ominito- 

 lampes', but there is nothing in the eye to justify the name. 

 This species will be easily recognized by the spot at the base 

 of the prothorax, as well as the one on the pygidlum. 



Sphenocorynus meleagris. 



S. an<2:uste ellipticus, niger, maculis niimerosis annularibus ochraceis 

 notatus ; rostro modice elongato, leviter arcuato, hasi reticulato- 

 foveato, apicem versus granulato ; antenuis f urfure ochraceo 

 vestitis. Long. 8 lin. 



Hah. Sarawak. 



Narrowly elliptic, black, speckled with numerous small 

 annular ochreous spots ; rostrum comparatively long, slightly 

 curved, the base reticulately pitted, beyond dotted with small
