Clidicus [Scydmaenidae]. 

 Laporte, Ann. de Soc. Ent. de France, i. p. 397. 



Clidicus for micarlus. (PI. II. fig. 3.) 



C. setiilosus, riifo-piceus ; prothorace subcordato ; pedibus piceis. 



Hah. Borneo (Sarawak). 



Rufoiis pitchy, covered with short, stiff, erect hairs ; head almost 

 ohsoletely punctured, shortly triangular, bilobed behind, an elevated 

 transverse interocular ridge beneath which and at each end arise the 

 antennae ; eyes very small, round, lateral ; antennae claviform, the basal 

 joint obconic, as long as the next four together, and more or less trian- 

 gular, gradually increasing in size to the seventh, the last four shortly 

 transverse ; lip and epistome short, transverse ; mandibles short, curved, 

 glossy black; maxiUary palpi very long, the last joint ovate, pointed, 

 and nearly as long as the preceding, the labial short, the last joint subu- 

 late ; prothorax obscurely punctured, subcordate, considerably rounded 

 anteriorly, narrower than the head, to which it is attached by a short 

 neck ; scutellum very small, triangular ; elytra ovate, convex, each with 

 six shallow striae, which are very coarsely pimctured ; anterior coxae 

 elongate, contiguous, the middle and posterior separated by a slight 

 interval ; femora subclavate ; tibiae fusiform, unarmed ; tarsi subfili- 

 fonn, all their joints, except the last, of equal length; abdominal seg- 

 ments six ; winged (?). Leng-th 3 lines. 



To Clidicus belongs the genus Erineus, Walker. The species de- 

 scribed by him (E. monstrosus) differs from the above in its sub- 

 quadrate prothorax and other characters. Clidicus grandis, Lap., is 

 a more slender form, with longer legs, antennae, &c. 



Naecisa [Trogositidse], 



Caput insertum, fronte verticali. Ocidi divisi, superiores remoti, verticales. 

 Antemice breves, articulo primo incrassato, clava subunilaterali triarti- 

 culata. 3Iaxillcs lobo interiore obsoleto. Prothorax transversus, late- 

 ribus foliaceis. Elytra marginibus subdilatata, serrulata. Corpus ovatum, 

 subdepressum. 



This genus will be at once distinguished from Ayiacjpta by the 

 remoteness of the upper eyes, and the serrulate and partially dilated 

 border of the etytra ; and from Gymnocliila by the foliaccous sides of 

 the prothorax, and by the less decided unilateral position of the club 

 of the antennae, as well as by habit. 



Narcisa decidua. (PI. III. fig. 5.) 



N. obovata, pallide ferruginea, squamis albidis tecta; antennis rufes- 



centibus. 

 Hab. Batchian.
