Rostrum crassiusculum, a capite discretum ; scrobes curvate, latera- 
les. Oculk prominuli. Antenne scapo brevi; funiculo 7-articu- 
lato, art. ultimo distincto; clava breviter ovata, acuminata. Pro- 
thoraw subcylindricus, basi bisinuatus. Scwtellum nullum. Elytra 
ovata, prothorace latiora, humeris obliquis. Pedes mediocres ;

The curved scrobe, the scape barely extending to the eye, 
and the bisinuate base of the prothorax are the essential cha- 
racters of this genus. It agrees with Platyomicus in that the 
elytra are broader at the base than the prothorax. 
Epilaris concinna. (Pl. XVIII. fig. 1.) 
E. oblongo-ovata, dense griseo-squamosa ; medio prothoracis elytris- 
que basi figura cordiformi reversa et fascia postica fuscis. Long. 
5 lin. (rost. incl.). 
Hab. Wabuan. 
Oblong-ovate, closely covered with greyish scales; stripe on 
the prothorax, a reversed heart-shaped patch at the base of 
the elytra, and a broad band behind dark brown ; rostrum twice 
as long as the head, an impressed transverse line above and 
another below the eye; funicle with the first two joints sub- 
equal, club black; prothorax rather broader than long, 
slightly corrugated ; elytra broadest behind the middle, striate- 
punctate, sides before the band and apex tinged with metallic

legs with scattered black sete. 
Bryocheta palliata. (PI. XVIII. fig. 3.) 
B. obovata, fusca, subtilissime griseo-squamosa; elytris subglobo-

33 lin. 
Hab. West Africa. 
Obovate, brown, covered with minute approximate grey 
scales; antenne dark brown, seventh joint of the funicle 
closely applied to the club; prothorax somewhat flattish, a 
transverse raised line behind the middle, followed by a corre- 
sponding depression ; no scutellum ; elytra subglobose, scarcely 
so wide at the base as the prothorax, striate-punctate, the 
humeral and apical regions green, the rest of the elytra dark 
chestnut-brown ; beneath and legs covered with greyish sub- 
opalescent scales. 
Bryocheta is differentiated from Episomus by its thick an- 
tennee, the club being very small and not quite so stout as
