LEPEOTINI. 395 



Eumolpus incanus, Motsch. t. c. p. 408. 

 Eumolpus rufulus, Motsch. t. c. p. 408. 

 Eumolpus fusculus, Motsch. t. c. p. 408. 



All these species have been placed by Motschulsky in Bromius, 

 but are quite unrecognizable from his descriptions. The habitat 

 of all as given by him is Ceylon : Newarra Ellia. 



Group LEPROTINI. 



Body above and beneath pubescent or clothed with scales and 

 single rigid hairs ; thorax subcylindrical, scarcely marginate at sides. 

 Legs long and slender, tibiae nearly always entire; claws bifid. Pro- 

 sternum narrow ; anterior margin of thoracic episternum concave. 



This division contains the greatest number of the genera of the 

 Eumolpince. The species in all the genera are mostly of sombre 

 coloration, never metallic, and are characterized by the close 

 pubescence or scale-like covering of the upper parts. The species 

 require a very laborious and careful study for their determination 

 as many of them are small and of intricate sculpture and 

 structure.
