352 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on new Genera 



in the latter, besides the difference of form, the head in the 

 same sex has two strong spines above the eyes. And this is 

 the very remarkable point, that these two spines are trans- 

 ferred to the apex of the prothorax in the insect before us ; but, 

 without a close examination, they appear to occupy the same 

 place as in the latter genus. The species here described was 

 found by Mr. Fry, in some numbers, in the hollow of a bam- 

 boo ; and a pair of these he has kindly presented to me. 



Allophasia Fryi. 



A. breviter globoso-ovalis, glabra, nitida, fulva; elytris, basi ex- 

 cepta, nigris ; capite ( c? ) inter oculos excavato ; antennis pilo- 

 sulis, articulis tribus basalibiis fulvis, caeteris nigris ; protboraee 

 impunctato, in medio excavato ; scutello triangulari ; elytris 

 seriatim punctulatis, interstitiis fere impunctatis ; corpore infra 

 pedibusque flavo-lutescentibus. Long. 2| lin. 



Hob. Brazil (Espiritu Santo). 



Toxicum grande. 



T. oblongum, paulo depressiim, nigrum, violaceo nitens ; capite c? 

 quadricornuto, cornibus duobus anticis elongatis, ellipticis, paral- 

 lelis, duobus posticis divergentibus, arcuatis, clavatis, apice bre- 

 viter pilosis ; 5 cornibus posticis carentibus ; oculis integris ; pro- 

 thorace modice transverse, cum capite subvage subtiliter punctu- 

 lato ; scutello semiorbiculari ; elytris tenuiter seriatim punctulatis ; 

 corpore infra nigro, metasterno abdomineque subtilissime punctu- 

 latis ; pedibns glabris, castaneis. Long. 10 lin. 



Eah. Borneo (North). 



A fine and very distinct species. The female has the pos- 

 terior horns very short, and the anterior are reduced to mere 

 tubercles. 



Rliypasma querulum. 



H. obscure testaceo-brunneum, indumento griseo munitum ; antennis 

 brevioribus, articulo ultimo distincto ; capite parce granulato ? 

 protboraee longitudine latitudini sequali, sat confertim granulato, 

 utrinque basin versus parum angustiore, in medio longitudinaliter 

 excavato, ad latera modice explanato, marginibus crenatis; scutello 

 semicirculari ; elytris oblongis, singulis disco quadricostatis, costa 

 secunda a scuteUo versus apicem evanescente, interstitiis biseriatim 

 conferte punctatis ; pedibus asperulis ; tarsis posticis reliquis 

 manifesto longioribus. Long. 1| lin. 



Hab. Amazons (Ega). 



short and obconic, the three following of the same form, the fifth to the 

 tenth very strongly transverse. In D. bohti, the type of the genus, it is 

 froin the fourth to the tenth, as in Allophasia.
