Two specimens of this widely distributed species, which is found 

 so far south as New Guinea, occur in the collection.

Ostedes . 



Two species of this, or a nearly allied genus, are in the collection, 

 but are not sufficiently perfect to admit of description. 



Exocentrin^e. 

 Cuphisia. 



Caput magnum ; oculi parvi, profunde emarginati. 



Antennae setosce, scapo tenuiter cylindrico articulo tertio bremore. 



Prothorax transversus, lateraliter inermis. 



Head large, broad and convex in front ; antennary tubers short, 

 remote ; lip small, rounded ; eyes small, lateral, deeply divided ; 

 palpi short, pointed. Antennae slender, setose, rather longer than 

 the body ; the scape attenuate, cylindrical, shorter than the third 

 joint ; the rest gradually but rapidly diminishing. Prothorax short, 

 transverse, not broader than the head, the sides unarmed and slightly 

 rounded. Elytra rather broad, with parallel sides, only rounded at 

 the apex ; the shoulders prominent; the disk with a slight callosity 

 on each side near the scutellum. Legs of moderate length ; ante- 

 rior and intermediate coxae globose and exserted, with the acetabula 

 of the former broadly triangular externally ; femora rather incras- 

 sated ; anterior tibiae slightly curved, the rest straight ; tarsi equal, 

 the three basal joints, taken together, triangular. Pro- and meso- 

 sterna simple. Body setose. 



Twenty-two genera of this subfamily were found by Mr. Wallace ; 

 but there is only one exponent of it in this collection, representing a 

 form which cannot be referred to any of them, although coming near 

 Egesina. From that genus, however, it differs in its slender antennae 

 and elongate and cylindrical scape, which, notwithstanding, is shorter 

 than the third joint ; Emeopedus is in no wise setose ; Ebceides and 

 Dyemus differ in their remarkably thickened and nodulose antennae ; 

 Euispia and Nesomomus have also differently formed antennae ; and,' 

 lastly, Oloessa has (inter alia) divided eyes". All the other eastern 

 genera have the prothorax spined or toothed at the sides.
