210 Mr. F. P. Pascoe's Catalogue (/Zygopinaj 



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

 but it is not quite perfect ; it has a longer j)rothorax, with the 

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

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

 Tlie following is very distinct from both. 



Odoacis 2)edestris. 



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

 maculatim indutus ; rostro iiigro, basi qiiinquccarinulato ; anton- 

 nis piceis, griseo-pilosis ; funiculo articulo sccundo qiiam primo 

 duplo longiore : clava subcylindrica ; prothoracc transverso, medio 

 carinulato, angulis posticis producto-rotundatis, dorso rcticidato 

 fovcato ; elytris sidcato-punctatis, interstitiis alternis magis ele- 

 vatis, quarto scxtoque granxilatis ; corporc infra pedibusque squa- 

 mis albidis irroratis ; tibiis, prKsertim posticis, valdc compressis, 

 his cxtrorsum uigris ; tarsis posticis articulo basali valde com- 

 presso. Long. 4 lin.

From a communication lately received from M. Chevrolat, 

 I find that the species described by me, and from which I drew 

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

 Wiedemann*, under the name of BhyncJuvnus sj^ha^rojjs^ 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. siyhccrops) ; so have also, 

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

 lowing table will facilitate their recognition : — 



Derm brown. 



Pro thorax longer than broad sphcerops (Wiedm.). 



Prothorax transverse. 

 Elytra {S) scarcely more than lialf as long again 

 as broad. 



Prothorax granulate augurulis. 



Prothorax not granulate junix. 



Elytra nearly twice as long as broad sectator- 



Derm black. 



Apex of the prothorax entire nervostis. 



Apex of the prothorax sinuate grammicus.
