129 



pubescent and flavo-rufous. Scutellum small, triangular, rufous. Elytra 

 broad, subdepressed, punctate-striate, the punctures being concealed 

 by a very fine ferrugineous pubescence. Antenna' short, attenuated, 

 subincrassated towards the apex ; the first joint long, dilated at the 

 apex and reflected backwards ; the second broad, short, ovate ; the 

 third to the sixth long and fine (the fourth to the sixth being of 

 equal length and shorter than the third) ; seventh to eleventh short 

 and subincrassated ; the colour of the first to the sixth testaceous,

Genus 18. .EDMON*. 

 Labettm breve. 



Palpi maxillares elongati, cylindrici, art. penultimo robusto. 

 Antenna subhicrassatce, pubescentes, art, 3-5 brevibus, attenuatis, 

 6-11 gradatim dilatatis. 



Oculi ad basin capitis positi. 

 Caput breve, fere verticals. 



Thorax transversus, angulis anterioribus distinctis, lateribits ad basin 



subcompressis. 

 Elytra lata, robusta, ad latera subrotundata. 

 Pedes : tarsis anterioribus brevibus (art. 1 et 2 subwqimlibus) ; tibiis 



posticis apicemjuxta unidentatis. 



Labrum shorter than the base of the head, subcircular. 



Maxillary palpi (Tab. V. fig. 2 m) elongate, cylindrical ; the 

 second joint short, obliquely truncate at the apex ; the penultimate 

 joint cylindrical, robust, the length being nearly three times the 

 breadth ; the apical joint minute and conical. 



Labial palpi (destroyed in the single example of this genus be- 

 fore me). 



Antennce robust, subincrassated, clothed throughout sparingly with 

 pubescence ; at the apex of each joint are two or three rigid hairs 

 (larger than the others) which project at almost right angles ; the 

 first joint is subrotundate, broad, and elongate ; the second of the 

 same form, but smaller ; the third to the fifth are subequal in length, 

 shorter and considerably more attenuated than the first ; the sixth 

 to the eleventh are gradually incrassatcd towards the apex, and 

 shorter: the antennae, as to their insertion, are approximate, and
