 Cereopsius, Pascoe, Journ. of Entom. i. p. 344. 



Cereofsuts whitei, J.Thomson, Syst. Ceramb. p. 55G. 



A very distinct species, having two large while spots on each 

 elyton.

Monohammus brianus, "White, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1858, p. 409. 



Combe fuhjuratu, J. Thomson, op. cit. p. 84. 



This handsome insect appears to be very scarce. Mr. Lamb has 

 found only a single example, a female ; this is much larger than a 

 male in my own collection. The specimen in the British Museum 

 from which Mr. White described the species is without a head. 



Amesisa. 

 Amesisa, Pascoe, Long. Malay, p.* 



Amesisa constjlaris, Pascoe, I. c. p. , pi. 11. f. 2. 

 Mr. Wallace's specimen is from Singapore. 



Pharsalia. 

 Pharsalia, J. Thomson, Syst. Ceramb. p. 85. 



Pharsalia incerta, Pascoe, Long. Malay, p. 

 The single specimen in Mr. Lamb's collection is referred very 

 doubtfully to this species. 



Cycos. 



Antennae hi maribus longissimce, normales. 



Scapus cylindricus, basi subito constrictns. 



Pedes in maribus elongati, antici longiores. 



Mesosternum dentatum. 



Head rather small, quadrate in front, the antennary tubers very 

 robust, erect or very slightly divergent. Eyes of moderate size, 

 broadly emarginate. Antennae very long in the male, scarcely longer 

 than the body in the female, not fimbriated beneath ; scape mode- 

 rately long, cylindrical, suddenly constricted at the base, the third 

 joint longer than the scape, the remainder gradually abbreviated, 

 except the last in the male, which is more than twice as long as the 

 preceding joint. Prothorax scarcely broader than the head, sub- 



* When this was written I anticipated that this genus and two or three spe- 

 cies mentioned further on, collected by Mr. Wallace and which are identical with 

 those in Mr. Lamb's collection, would have been published in the above work; 

 but, although the plates to accompany the forthcoming part are ready, the text 

 has been unfortunately delayed.
