350 On tlie Coleopterous Family Bostrichidge. 



It is a very common species, having a wide range in tlie 

 Malay Archipelago. The elytra are a trifle less strongly 

 punctured than in a species which we have under the name 

 Apate lifuana, Montr. ; but the two insects are scarcely 

 distinct, and both bear the name ^' religiosa, Dej." 



Sinoxylon fumatum, nitidipenne^ and puhescens^ Murray, 

 should be placed in Xylopertlia. 



C^NOPHRADA, n. gen. 



General characters of Bostrichus. Antennas composed of 

 ten joints ; first joint elongate, the second one third shorter 

 (but nearly twice as long as bioad), the third to eighth joints 

 becoming wider, compressed ; the third scarcely as long as 

 broad, the fourth a little longer than broad, narrowed at its 

 base, the fifths sixth, and seventh short and broad ; the eighth 

 joint a little longer than the sixth and seventh together and a 

 little broader at its apex ; the ninth shorter than the eighth and 

 narrower, the tenth still narrower, elliptical. The eighth, 

 ninth, and tenth form an elongate club, which, however, is 

 not abrupt, owing to the width of the previous joints. 



Quite distinct from all the genera of Bostrichidffi by the 

 compressed and relatively broad antennse. 



Ccenophrada anobioides^ n. sp. 



Elongata, nigra, convexa ; thorace subrotundato, antiee sat angus- 

 tato, fecabroso, fulvo piloso ; clytris parallelis, confertim fortiter 

 subseriatim punctatis, ad apicem oblique declivis, parte decliva 

 tuberculis depressis rotuudatis coufertim dispositis ornata. 



Long. ISa- millim. 



This species has the general appearance of Bostrichus 

 jesuiius, Fabr. The sculpture of the elytra is very similar, 

 but not so coarse, the punctures are still more irregular in 

 form, the interstices more rugulose, narrower, and marked 

 with fine punctures. The apical declivity is rather less 

 abrupt, and instead of being punctured is covered with round, 

 shining, flattened tubercles, which are placed close together. 

 The thorax a little narrower than the elytra, distinctly nar- 

 rowed in front, more rounded at the posterior angles. The 

 sculpture is nearly the same, but not quite so rough in front, 

 and there are only three prominent teeth visible from above on 

 each side in front.
