4 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on new Genera and Species of 



declivous portion on each side a conical tuberculate projection. 

 Length 4 lines. 



Ulodica. 

 Subfamily TJlobinm. 



Antennae haud clavatae ; art. 3'^ quam 4*"s duplo longiore. 

 Prothorax transversus, utrinque rotundatus, marginibus sqiiamosis. 



This genus differs from Ulodes * in its antennae having 

 the third joint much longer than either the second or fourth. 

 Ulodes has the remarkable character of having all the joints of 

 equal length, the last three, as in Ulodica^ being pubescent, 

 while all the others are covered with stiif scale-like hairs 

 arranged in dense whorls. The genus was referred by its 

 author, as well as by M. Lacordaire (to whom, however, it was 

 unknown), to the vicinity of Boletopliagus. From the sub- 

 family to which the latter belongs, all the species, as well as 

 those of the cognate genera which have come under my notice, 

 "diifer in being destitute of the transverse excavation which oc- 

 curs behind the insertion of the mentum of the Boletophagince ; 

 and, so far as I know, they have globose, not cylindrical, an- 

 terior coxge. Probably, if the illustrious author of the ' Genera ' 

 had known any of the species, he would have made Ulodes 

 the type of another group, as I have now ventured to do. 

 The four genera which constitute the subfamily at present 

 may be tabulated thus : — 



Antennae clavate Ganyme, Pasc. 



Antennee not clavate. 



Prothorax scaly at the sides. 



Antennae with the third joint longest Ulodica, Pasc. 



Antennae with the third joint not longer than the 



rest Ulodes, Er. 



Prothorax ciliated at the sides Dipsaconia, Pasc. 



Ulodica hisijida. 



U. oblonga, fusca, dense brunneo-nigroque squamosa; prothorace 

 disco quadri-verrucoso-fasciculato. 



Hah, Clarence River. 



Oblong, dark brown, closely covered with pale reddish brown, 

 varied with black, scales ; head with small dull reddish-brown 

 scales ; antennge brownish grey ringed with black — principally 

 the third and fourth, sixth, eighth, and base of the ninth joints; 

 prothorax roughly scaly, the apex with two wart-like tubercles 

 clothed with a bunch of erect blackish scales ; behind the mid-

 genus also belongs Endophloeus variicornis, Hope ; the same author's E. 

 australis is a Dipsaconia.
