60 SECOND Y ARK AND MISSION. 



Head, prothorax, and elytra, minutely and sparsely punctulate : prothorax nearly as 

 long as broad, sides well rounded anteriorly, thence rather strongly contracted to the base ; 

 base slightly rounded, its margin broad and very convex; apex very feebly emarginate; 

 all the angles depressed and obtuse : elytra oval, the apex rather strongly produced : epipleural 

 fold uninterruptedly continued round the shoulders : inner side of the flanks of the prothorax, 

 and the prosternum, rugosely punctured ; sides of metasternum, and of the two first abdominal 

 segments, with a few coarse punctures; rest of the abdomen smooth.

Sub-Family AKISIN&. 



CYPHOGENIA PLANA. 



Narrow, elongate, flattened above ; black, more or less obscure. Mentum notched (but 

 not deeply) in middle of fore margin, disc more or less plane. Head-rhomboidal, more 

 or less sparsely punctured; epistoma transversely convex, widely and sub-triangulately 

 emarginate in front, completely exposing the labrum and its attachment, front angles 

 more or less acute; front transversely, sometimes triangulately, depressed; supraorbital 

 ridge more or less distinct ; cheeks (immediately behind the eyes) prominent and coarsely 

 rugosely punctured. Prothorax quadrate, apex wider than base, front angles produced, 

 sub-acute; sides more or less feebly sinuous (sometimes a little angulate at the middle), 

 and with a narrowish flattened margin ; base squarely truncated, or feebly sometimes 

 sinuately emarginate ; hind angles more or less produced (scarcely outwardly directed) and 

 obtuse ; disc irregularly foveate, more or less finely and sparsely punctured, the punctuation 

 stronger at the sides. Elytra elongate-oval, moderately produced and rounded at apex, 

 faintly (sometimes obsoletely) irregularly and minutely muricate punctate, the unpunctured 

 intervals more or less faintly reticulately rugulose ; keeled from behind the shoulders to the 

 apex ; this keel is not completely marginal, being placed a little within the outer edge, which 

 is rounded, the epipleura being strongly inflexed. Last three or four joints of antennte 

 usually bright ferruginous, the last acutely pointed at apex.

CYPHOGENIA HTTMERALIS. 



In habit approaching C. aurita, Pall. Black, obscure ; mentum very deeply notched in 

 front, the disc very convex. Head and prothorax very finely and dispersedly punctured, the 

 former with a longitudinal elevated line down the middle, and depressed at each side ; supra- 

 orbital carina very distinct : epistoma widely emarginate in front in the s , more deeply (and 

 sub-angulately) in the ? ; front angles broadly rounded. Prothorax transverse, disc convex, 

 median line lightly impressed, and with a short transverse depression across the middle near 

 the base, apex broadly emarginate, front angles not produced, but somewhat acute ; base 

 feebly emarginate, hind angles acute and outwardly directed ; sides well rounded anteriorly, 

 rather broadly margined, a little reflexed, and finely transversely rugulose. Elytra depressed, 

 gently declivous behind, the apex rather strongly produced and narrowly rounded ; widest 

 behind the middle ; obsoletely punctured, and showing some faint smooth reticulations ; shoul-
