Genera and Species of CuleupttTu. 333 



rather, perhaps, the entire absence of rostrum will at once prevent 

 its being confounded with any genus having its attenuated club of 

 the same form, such as EtJnieca, Pcncatlca, or the females of Anthrihiat. 



PiiViiia sat/lnatd. (1*1. XVT. fig, 8.) 



P. broviter ovata, pube ni-rra albo niaculata vestita ; elytris vago seriuliui 

 punctatis. 



Hab. Borneo. 



Shortly ovate, covered with a closo black pile with white spotn; 

 head nearly circular in front, but a little narrowed below tho eyes, no 

 raised line, a few white hair.s mixed with the black ; antenucc not longer 

 than the breadth of tho head, black, the club occupying rather more 

 than a third of the total length ; prothorax as Ijroail as the elytra, black, 

 passing into white at the sides, with a few white spots on the disk ; 

 scutellum transverse, white ; elytra black, irregularly spotted with 

 white, especially near the base and apex ; body beneath and legs with 

 a close gi-eyish-white pile. Length 2 lines. 



Zyg-enodes [Anthribida?]. 



Pascoc, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. 3 ser. iv. p. 328. 



Zijgccnodes monstrosiis. (PI. XVI. fig. 5.) 



Z. fuscus, sparse griseo pubescens ; elytris singulis fasciculis tribus proj)e 



suturam sitis. 

 Huh. Natal. 



Dark brown, with a sparse greyish pile obscurely clouded with dull 

 fidvous ; head a little broader than the prothorax, fiat and triangular 

 in front, unifomily of an obsciu-e grey ; prothorax nearly twice as broad 

 as long, the disk iiTCgular, subquadrituberculate; the carina prominent; 

 scutellum triangular, pale grey ; elytra not broader than the prothorax, 

 ii-regular, punctate-striate, on the disk a few raised points, which are 

 rather darker than the rest, and on a line parallel to the suture three 

 dense fascicles of pale-greyish hairs, the first and largest near the base, 

 the other two towards the apex; body beneath brown, with greyish 

 hairs ; legs dull testaceous, with darker rings ; antennae pale greyish 

 yellow, the third joint, upper part of the fourth, and fifth near the apex, 

 and the last three forming the club, black ; eyes dark brown. Length 

 U line. 



This curious Anthribid, agreeing gcncrically ^vith Zi/gmwdes, 

 differs remarkably in colour as well as in tho irregularity of its sur- 

 face from Z. Wollastoni ; but that a genus so peculiar should ])e 

 represented in countries so far apart, although by no means singular, 

 is a fact well worthy of note. It is probable that hereafter the 

 genus may be found to be ricli in species ; there are two new ones 

 in Mr. Bowring's extensive Asiatic collections, as well as numerous 

 others belonging to genera which I have proposed in this Journal
