162 REV. H.S. GORHAM ON NEW COLEOPTERA.  [Mar. 16, 
the shoulder, and the thorax having the base narrower with the 
hind angles right angles, so that the insect is not so uniformly round 
as in its allies. The antenne are formed much as in VS. vallatus, the 
second to eighth joints being short and bead-shaped, but longer 
than wide, the club strong but laxly jointed, the apical joint quad- 
rate and much (fully twice) wider than the ninth. The thorax is 
wider than long, narrowed to the front angles, but with its sides 
nearly straight in the basal two thirds ; its fattened margin has its 
internal edge deeply impressed in front, where the flat part is widest, 
and it appears raised at the base only, where the disk is widely 
suleate ; the disk is convex, minutely but distinctly covered with 
small points, but the puncturing is much obscured by coarse floccose 
pubescence. 
Only one specimen of this interesting species was obtained. 
PANOM@A. 
1. Panoma@a CINGALENs!Is. (Plate XVII. fig. 2.) 
Rufo-testacea; capite et thorace basi piceis ; antennarum clava, 
articulo basali externe, scutello, sutura elytrisque maculis quinque 
sat magnis nigris ; antennis articulis decem. Long. 5 millim. 
Hab. Ceylon, Hadley (Lewis). 
Antenne ten-jointed, the basal joint is stout, a little curved, the 
second is scarcely longer than broad, and the third is apparently 
longer than usual, and is possibly really composed of the third and 
fourth joints together, but I can see no suture; the fourth to the 
seventh very short, club lax, the eighth and ninth joints rather 
trigonal. Head pitchy, smooth; eyes coarsely granulate (as in 
typical Panomea). Thorax as in P. pardalina, but anterior angles 
rather more prominent, scarcely punctured, but a little uneven at 
the sides, finely margined, except at the middle of the base. Elytra 
more cordate than in other species, and viewed sideways rising to a 
point so as to appear more gibbous than in its allies, finely but 
closely punctured, with five largish black spots—one humeral, two 
near the suture, one marginal (larger than the others), one subapical ; 
this last in one example connected with the marginal one ; the under- 
side and legs are deep ferruginous red. 
Five or six examples were obtained. 
ENDOCa@LUS, N. g. 
Mr. Lewis has met with a very curious small beetle in Ceylon, 
which apparently comes very near Panomea, which itself is synony- 
mous with Cyclotoma of Mulsant, and of which a short description 
will be sufficient to render its identification certain. The antenne, 
however, appear to me to be ten-jointed, and the two basal joints to 
be stout, the third to the seventh to be very short, the three last 
forming an elongate lax club. 
The tarsi are four-jointed, almost linear, very similar to those of 
Rhymbus.
