Probably a proper- genus. 1 have referred it here on account ol' 

 its antenuic, rather than to Ci/phaleiu<f but the e])ij)leur:e of the 

 elytra are not horizontal as in Phthfi>h(iai:i. Is not I'I(ili/j>/ii(nrs vlt-

 Processus interfemoralis triangularis. 



These characters apply to Eucyrtus pretiosus of Dejean's catalogue, 

 briefly described by M. Lacordaire in his ' Genera' (v. p. 417, note), 

 but they do not apply to Hope's Scotceuf^, into which that learned 

 entomologist has merged the genus of Dejean. Scotceits has a re- 

 tracted head, the clj^ieus produced beyond the antennary lobes, the 

 antennce subserrate, prothorax finely margined at the sides, the four 

 posterior femora not hairy beneath, the tibia) glabrous ; the tarsi are 

 much longer and more attenuated, ^vith the claw-joint very long ; 

 above all, the prosternum is horizontally prolonged posteriorly, and is 

 received into a long narrow groove of the mesosternum. Borneo 

 seems to be rich in the species of Eucyrtus. 



Gaijromaia [Cnodalinse]. 

 Characteres ut in Eucyrto, sed clypeus productus, orbitis antennarum di- 

 stinctus, emarginatus. 3Ia.rillce lobo interiore deutato. Meutnm fere 

 semicircularo, basi in processum triangularem productum. Palpi lahiales 

 art. ult. breviter obconico. Femora sublinearia. Tihifc antice tenu- 

 atce, curvatse. 



I am unwilling to introduce characters derived almost entirely
