The type of this genus is a little insect having somewhat the 

 general appearance of a Cryptophagus, and which appears to me to 

 come between Ammohius and Phaleria. I have not, however, ven- 

 tured to examine the oral organs of my solitary specimen, for which 

 I am indebted to Mr. Bakewell ; but apparently' they n re not very 

 different from those of Phaleria. 



Hyocis BalceweUii. 



H. fusco-ferruginea ; elytris fortiter stiiato-punctatis. 



Hab. Victoria.

 tures rather large and shallow, the raised intervals having a reticulate 

 appearance ; antennae reddish testaceous, enlarging in thickness from 

 the fifth to the tenth joint ; prothorax with an impressed median line, 

 its anterior angles rounded, its posterior acute ; scutellum small, trian- 

 gular; eMra scarcely broader than the prothorax, coarsely striato- 

 pimctate or almost clathrate ; sterna covered ^vith close shallow punc-
