210 Mr. F. P. Pascoe's Catalogue ofZjgopinffi 



Mecopus. I have another species allied to it, from Singapore, 

 but it is not quite perfect ; it has a longer prothorax, with the 

 posterior angles produced, and the sides of the elytra, for more 

 than a third of their length, dilated, or forming a sort of ledge. 

 The following is very distinct from both. 



Odoacis ijedestris. 



0. ovalis, obscure fuscus, squamis sordide ochraceis sparse et sub- 

 maculatim indutus ; rostro nigro, basi quinquecarinulato ; antcn- 

 nis piceLs, griseo-pilosis ; funiculo articulo sccundo quam primo 

 duplo longiore ; clava subcyliiidrica ; prothoraco trausverso, medio 

 carinulato, angulis posticis producto-rotundatis, dorso reticidato 

 foveato ; elytris sulcato-punctatis, interstitiis altcrnis magis ele- 

 vatis, quarto sextoquo granulatis ; corpore infra pcdibusque squa- 

 mis albidis irroratis ; tibiis, praescrtim posticis, valde compressis, 

 his extrorsum nigiis ; tarsis posticis articulo basali valde com- 

 presso. Long. 4 hn. 



Hah. Sarawak (and Labuan). 



Chirozetes.

From a communication lately received from M. Chevrolat, 

 I find that the species described by me, and from which I di-ew 

 up the characters of tliis genus, had been long ago published by 

 Wiedemann *, under the name of Bhynchcenus sphcerops^ in a 

 work which, at the moment, I had unfortunately overlooked. 

 Of the species here described, the first three have a certain 

 general resemblance to the type ( C. spluerops) ; so have also, 

 but in a less degree, tlie last two with one another. The fol- 

 lowing table will facilitate their recognition : — 



Derm brown. 



Prothorax longer than broad spharops (Wiedm.). 



Prothorax transverse. 



Elytra ( J ) scarcely more than half as long again 

 as broad. 



Protliorax granulate aiigiintlis. 



l^rothorax not granulate pmix. 



Elytra nearly twice as long as broad ' scctator. 



Derm black. 



Apex of the prothorax entire vcrvosus. 



Apex of the prothorax sinuate grummicus.
