The following is a description of the new species of Lycides 
mentioned above as Cautires amabilis :— 
Cautires amabilis, n. sp. 
Niger; thorace elytrisque ochraceis, his apice nigris. 6, 
Long. 6 lin., lat. 14 lin, 
Eyes large and prominent. Antenne moderately long; 
the first joint rather large, the second small and partially 
hidden by the first, the third about ? millimetre long, with 
a rather narrow branch 3 millimetres long arising from the 
extreme base of the joint, the branch pilose; the fourth to 
eleventh joints each a trifle longer than the preceding, the 
branch proportionally longer, the apical joint long, flat, a 
little narrowed at the apex. Thorax rather broad, quadrangu- 
lar, clothed with yellowish-red silky pile, the middle of the 
anterior margin somewhat produced, reflexed, and thickened ; 
the sides reflexed ; the discoidal areolet moderately broad in 
front of the middle, extending to the basal margin, united to 
the anterior incrassate margin by a short costa; there is a 
slight costa on each side, arismg from the median areolet 
rather in front of the middle, and extended to the side of the 
thorax ; the two anterior median areolets are but faintly indi- 
cated. Scutellum oblong, emarginate at the apex. Llytra 
long, parallel, each with nine coste, the second, fourth, and 
sixth distinctly stronger than the others; the intervals with 
lines of strong, generally slightly transverse punctures; the 
apical fifth blackish. 
This species has much the appearance of some species of 
Metriorrhynchus trom Australia (e. g. MZ. abdominalis, W.). 
The following is the description of the new genus of 
Telephoridee mentioned above :— 
SPHARARTHRUM, nh. gen. 
I propose this name tor a small ‘l’elephorid which appears 
to be common in the islands visited by Mr. Wallace. It is 
parallel in form, with the segments shining, and in appear-
