and dilated at the apex, the apical emargination comparatively 

 shallow and forming a right angle, shallowly impressed above, 

 and with a fine central carina which ascends the forehead, the 

 lateral carina? obsolete. Antennae ferruginous, the funicle 

 with joint 1 evidently longer and thicker than 2, the remaining 

 joints subequal. Prothorax about as long as broad, the sides 

 slightly rounded, broadest at the middle, very shallowly con- 

 stricted and transversely impressed near the apex, the basal 

 margin subtruncate and not broader than the apex, the 

 sculpturing entirely concealed by the scaling. Elytra shal- 

 lowly emarginate at the base, about twice as broad as the 

 prothorax at the shoulders, the sides parallel, distinctly 

 punctato-striate, the intervals slightly convex, the setse very 

 minute and depressed, only visible under a high magnifica- 

 tion. Legs flavescent, the femora with green scaling and 

 each with a minute tooth.

 Type, Pliyllobius jucundus, Redt. 



Rostro non breviore quam latiore, genis plus minus dilatatis, mar- 

 gine epistomatis postico rotundato aut obtuse angulato, margine 

 antico minus profunde exciso, scrobibus omnino apicalibus, fora- 

 mine oris obliquo, mento setis quatuor transversim obsito ; an- 

 tennis elongatis, scapo eylindrico, gradatim clavato, funiculi 

 articulo secundo quam primo non breviore; prothorace ad basin 

 subtruncato aut perparum bisinuato, apice quam basi non aut vix 

 angustiore, lobis ocularibus semper observandis, vibrissis brevibus ; 

 elytris, sterno, ventre, pedibus ut in genre Cypliicero, sed corbulis 

 tibiarum posticarum sine carina interna (necopino et pannoso 

 exceptis). 



Allied to Cyphicerus, Schh., which differs principally in 

 the following points : — The apical emargination of the 

 rostrum is deep, and the posterior margin of the epistome 

 forms a sharp angle, which is never less than a right angle; 

 the funicle bears true scales and the second joint is longer 

 than the first ; the mentum bears only two seta;, and the 

 corbels of the posterior tibire have always a distinct internal 

 carina.
