52 MU. M. JACOIJY ON NEW GENEKA AND [Jail. 3, 



Head flat, slightly tlepressecl between the eyes, closely covered 

 with fine longitudinal stripe, a triangular space between the eyes 

 impunctate and smooth ; anterior margin of the clypeus perfectly 

 straight. Labruin transverse, black. Antennse shorter than the 

 thorax ; fulvous, the first joint metallic reneous, dentate from the 

 seventh joint. Thorax nearly four times as broad as long, the pos- 

 terior margin moderately produced at the middle, the median lobe 

 not ]n-oduced and straight; sides rounded, the entire surface closely 

 covered with elongate punctures and fine longitudinal strise. Scu- 

 tellum rather broad, trianguLar, smooth. Elytra slightly broader at 

 the base than the thorax, regularly convex, the apex rounded, with 

 an obsoletely raised short costa near the lateral margin towards the 

 apex ; lateral lobe moderately produced and rounded ; surface 

 covered with smaller and larger punctures on the disk, the sides and 

 apex finely and closely strigose ; entirely of a metallic bronze colour. 

 Underside and legs of the same colour, closely rugose-punctate ; 

 the abdominal segments of nearly equal length ; tarsi fulvous. 

 Prosteruum rather broader than long, compressed and narrowed 

 behind, rugose-punctate. 



Two specimens are contained in my collection. 



I may add to the above description, that the elytra in both the 

 specimens before me are covered with small purplish spots of dif- 

 ferent shape and position, which I attribute to accident or discolora- 

 tion of the ground-colour, although I cannot be sure about it. One 

 specimen shows also a short pygidium, while the latter is totally 

 covered by the elytra in the other. 



E U M O L P I D .E. 



EuLVCHius, nov. gen. (sect. TypopJionnce). 



Antennae with the last five joints widened, last three joints broadly 

 transverse, wider than long. Eyes distant, entire. Prosternuin 

 narrowed at the middle, its base truncate ; femora without teeth ; 

 intermediate tibiae notched at the apex. Claws bifid, the inner 

 division minute. 



Type, Euhjchius mailagascariensis. 



This genus may be at once distinguished from all those belonging 

 to the TypophorincB by the broadly transverse and flattened apical 

 joints of the antennae. It seems to be allied to the genus Sybriacus, 

 Har., but differs in the unarmed femora and bifid claws. 



4. EULYCHILS MADAGASCARIENSIS, Sp. UOV. 



Oblong, rufous ; last three joints of the antennae black ; thorax 

 coarsely punctured ; elytra finely puuctate-striate, black, opaque, 

 shoulders and the apex rufous. 



Length 2h lines. 



Hab. Madagascar. 



Head rather closely and strongly punctured. Clypeus separated 

 from the face by an obsolete transverse groove. Labrum testaceous. 

 Antennae extending to the base of the thorax ; first joint subglobular,
