Ilah. Labuau. 



A fine species, differing from H. pilicornis in its size, ros- 

 trum, eyes, antennae, and coloration, especially of the tarsi. 



Phides. 



(Anthribidai.) 



A PUntheria differt rostro in medio carinato, clava laxe artieiilata ; 

 oculis oblongis ; protJiorace utrinque ampliato-produeto. carina 

 anteriore a basi remota ; coxis anticis sejunctis. et tarsis brevi- 

 oribus, dilatatis. 



One of my two examples of this genus has the rostrum 

 decidedly longer than the other ; if this be the male, then there 

 will be very little difference between the sexes ; in PUntheria 

 the antennse in the male are nearly three times as long as in 

 the female*. 



Phides xanthodactylus. PL XIV. fig. 4. 



P. oblongus, niger, saturate cervino-pubescens ; rostro capite duplo 

 loiigiore, versus apicem sensim latiore ; autennis capite cum rostro 

 baud longioribus, ferrugineis, art. 3-S. gradatim brevioribus, clava 

 extrorsum fulvicante ; prothorace supra inaequali, carina medio 

 instnicto, nigro-strigoso, basi ante scutellum macula ochracea 

 ornato : scutello quadrato, ochraceo ; elytris prothoracis medio vix 

 latioribus, striato-punctatis, singulis tuberculis circa decem notatis; 

 metastemo, abdomine femoribusque dense silaceo-squamosis ; tar- 

 sis articulis duobus iiltimis flavis. Long. 4^ lin. 



Hah. Fiji. 



PhauJimia Schaumii. 



P. fusco-castanea, pubo subtili subgiisea induta, elytris maculis 

 duabus majusculis communibus nigris ornatis, una basali subob- 

 longa, palUde marginata, altera apieali transversa minore : anten- 

 nis fuscis, clava nigra, art. duobus tdtimis funiculi testaceia ; pro- 



* The sexual distinctions of Cedif<, a genus of this family, were unknown 

 when I proposed it ; nor were they known to Lacordaire. I may there- 

 fore say that my specimens at that time were males (they were after- 

 wards sent by me to Lacordaire). In C. t/uffatiis the female hjis antenme 

 as long as the body, with a slender elongate club ; the female of C. ttiln-r- 

 citlatu.s hiis much sliorter antenna?, with a stout compact club, while s<^rae 

 of the malfs of this species have antennie four times a^; long a5 the body. 

 I^acordairo is probably right in considering Jii/nsttts cejifialotes, Pasc, to 

 be the female of another species of CccJu.s. There is a foiu-th in the col- 

 lection of Mr. Lamb, from Pulo Penang.
