532 Mr, Waterhouse on neiv species of 



LissAULicus, n, gen. 



Tarsi with only four joints visible above. Eyes emarginate in 

 front, widely sepai-ated. Eyes finely granular, Antenna3 with 

 a large club formed of three transverse joints. The apical joints 

 of all the palpi strongly securiform, INIesosternum horizontal. 

 Claws of the tarsi simple. Anterior coxte approximate. Thorax 

 nearly as broad as long semicircularly rounded posteriorly before 

 the basal constriction, with no anterior constriction. Elytra 

 arcuately narrowed at the apex. 



This genus appears to be closely allied to Aulicus, from Avhich 

 it difBers in not having any impressed lines on the thorax, in 

 having smooth elytra, in the large short-oblong club to the 

 antennas, and in the strongly secui-iform labial palpi. 



Lissaulicus Icvvis. 



Leviter convexus, rufo-piceus, nitidus, Iffivis ; antennarum 

 clava, femorum et tibiarum apice tarsisque nigris, elytris basi 

 punctis nonnuUis juxta scutellum, sutura ad apicem albo-sericea. 

 Long. 3|- lin. 



Head smooth, with a few extremely fine indistinct punctures 

 on the vertex; the mandibles and part of the apical joint of the 

 palpi nearly black ; antennae as long as the head and thorax 

 together, the third joint and the abrupt large club black. 

 Thorax gently convex and smooth, with a slight impression 

 above the anterior angles, very slightly narrowed in front, rounded 

 at the sides and posteriorly before the posterior constriction. 

 Elytra smooth, a little broader than the thorax and not quite 

 three times as long, arcuately narrowed towards the apex, 

 slightly impressed at the suture, with a few punctures near the 

 scutellum, the suture towards the apex is margined with white 

 pubescence. A spot at the apex of the femora, the apex of the 

 tibias and the tarsi are black, all beset with long hairs. There 

 are some long hairs on the head and thorax, and a few on the 

 elytra, 



Hab. Fianarantsoa (Mr. Shaw), 



Ehurifera tuber culicollis. 



Parallela, augusta, depressa, obscure cyanea, nitida ; capite 

 thoraceque crebre asperato-punctatis, elytris tuberculis minutis 

 numerosis, guttisque quatuor pallide flavis ornatis, antennis pedi- 

 busque ferrugineo-testaceis.
