Genus Macbociiilub and a new Genus. 



I was hoping to deal in this paper with all the E.istcm 

 genera o£ this group, but there are difficulties at present in 

 ul(!ntit'ying the species of the genus Omjyhra, and I confine 

 myself therefore to describing some new species of the genus 

 Macrochilus and also a new genus and species. 



The genus Macrochilus was indicated by Hope in liis 

 ' Coleopterist's Manual/ and hitherto seven Oriental species 

 have been described. To these I am adding four new ones. 

 1 have included Bates's M. in/uscatus in my " Catalogue of 

 ►Species," but its author hardly regarded it as distinct from 

 il/. tritvaculatusy Oliv., and I have omitted it from the " Table 

 of Species." 



In describing his M. nigrotihialis in 1900 (Abh. Mus. 

 Dresd. ix. 5, p. 3), Dr. IlcUer gave a table of the Asiatic 

 species of the genus, and enumerated ten of them : of tiicse, 

 two [dorsalif', King, and sca/ndaris, Klug) arc African species, 

 one {distactus^ Wied.) is a CreaynSy and one {iripubtulatusj E.) 

 belongs to the genus Pherojjsophus.
