Elichora. 



Rostrum longiusculum, tonuatum. Scapus ocidum baud attingeus. 

 Ocidi grosse granulati. Pedes longiusculi ; femora linearia, mu- 

 tica ; cox(x. intermediae et posticte utrinque fere contiguse. Rhna 

 pectoralis coxarum intermediarum margiuem posteriorem attin- 

 gens. Cseteris ut in Idotasia. 



This genus approaches Xychnsa in the extreme shortness 

 of the metasternum and the consequent approximation of the 

 intermediate and posterior coxte, but differs in the greater 

 length of the rostrum and the corresponding extension of the 

 pectoral canal. In habit it resembles Thyestetha^ but, with 

 Xychusa^ it is more nearlj allied to Idotasia. 



EUcliora coruscans. 



E. elliptica, nigra, nitida ; rostro basi rude lineatim punctato, apicem 

 versus punctis sensim minoribus ; antennis testaceis ; prothorace 

 oblongo-conico, vage subtiliter punctulato ; elytris pone basin 

 latioribus, remote subtilissime seriatim punctulatis ; eorpore infra 

 nudo, nitido ; pedibus disperse albo-squamosis; tarsis ferrugineis.

Nyph^ba. 



Rostrum brcviuscidum, validum, arcuatum, apice depressum. Funi- 

 culus 7-articulatus, articulis duobus basalibus longioribus, cseteris 

 transversis, ultimo clava ovata quasi incipiente. Oculi magni, 

 antice subapproximantes, grosse granulati. Prothorax trans- 

 versus. Scuiellum distinctum, punctiforme. Elytra oblonga, 

 raodice convexa, prothorace parum latiora. Femora subcrassa, 

 infra canaliculata et dentata ; tibice breviusculte, subarcuata;, sul- 

 catae ; tarsi normales. Rima pectoralis ut in Idotasia. Meta- 

 sternum modice clongatum. Processus intercoxalis angustatus. 

 Abdomen normale. 



The narrowness of the intercoxal process, as compared with 

 Idotasia and allied genera, is a marked departure from their 

 structiu'c in that respect. The type of this genus is nearly 

 glabrous, except that it is spotted here and there with a few
