186 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on Additions to 



111 this uiid the following species there is a decided curve at 

 the sides of the three intermediate abdominal segments, a 

 character Avhich places them in the " Stor(?ides" of Lacor- 

 daire j however, they cannot, in my opinion, be separated from 

 E7nplesis. 



Ejnplests storeoides. 



E. sat late elliptica, nigra, supra sat dense umbrino-squamosa ; capite, 

 antennis rostroque ferrugineis, hoc prothorace longiore, iiudo, 

 nitido, fere impunctato ; oculis majusculis ; funiculi articulo priino 

 manifeste crassiorc ; prothorace valde trausverso. apice fortitor 

 angustato, utrinque pone apicem modice rotundato ; scutello ovali ; 

 clytris elongato-cordatis, striatic, iu medio dimidii basalis nigro- 

 .squamosis, postice vage nigro-maculatis ; corpore iufra pedibusque 

 ferrugineis, sparse albido-squaraosis. Long. 2 lin.

Kostnim tenuiter cyliudricum, arcuatum, basi paulo compressum ; 

 scrohes submcdiauae, recta^, fere in mecHo oculorum currentes. 

 Smpus oculuin vix attiugeus ; fmiiculus 7-aiticulatus, articulo 

 primo elongato, cajteris gradatim brevioribus, obconicis ; clavn 

 distincta. Ocidi subtenuiter granulati, vix approximati. Protliorax 

 subcoiiicus, basi bisinuatus, lobis ociilaribus uullis. Scutelhivi 

 oblongum. Ehjtm subcordiformia, convexa. Pectus modice elon- 

 gatum, caualiculatum. Coxce anticae basi contiguas, iutermediae 

 distantes ; femora crassa, dentata ; t'Mce anticaj et iiitermcdiaj 

 recta;, calcarata), apice (unco obliquo armata}) postica) subtlexuosiu, 

 versus apicem latiores ; tarsi articulo tertio valde bilobo, quarto 

 minusculo. Abdomen scgmentis duobus basalibus ampliatis, tribus 

 intermediis lateraliter arcuatis. 



Except in the second abdominal segment, the curve at the 

 sides is very slightly marked ; still the sutures are not so straight 

 as in Diethusa. The genus is closely allied to Enidc • L. sub- 

 fasciata^ indeed, might be taken at first sight for the small 

 variety of E. cestuans ; but the character of the rostrum is 

 essentially difterent. 



Lyhceha suhfasciata. 



L. ferruginea,squamis Icete ferrugineis, nigro-variis, sat dense vestita ; 

 rostro nudo, subtestaceo, protborace paulo longiore ; funiculi ar- 

 ticulo primo duobus sequentibus conjunctim sequali ; prothorace 

 apice paulo constricto, utrinque rotundato ; elytris striatis, fasciis 

 nigris indeterminatis tribus, ad suturam interruptis, notatis ; 

 corpore infra pedibusque sejunctim griseo-squamosis. Long. 1^ lin.
