18 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on neio Genera 



The head, except the neck, clypeus, and the organs com- 

 posing the mouth, is entirely enveloped bjthe eyes, which are 

 largely faceted. The anterior cotyloid cavities being closed in 

 behind places this genus with the Lagriidaj ; the pectinate 

 antennse give it the facies of a Pyrochroid. Emydodes is 

 another genus of this family, but with the antennse only par- 

 tially pectinate. 



Barsenis fulvipes. (PI. I. fig. 6.) 



B. ovata, rufo-brunnea, fere glabra ; antennis fuligiuosis, pubescen- 

 tibus ; corpore infra pedibusque fulvis. Long. 3 lin. 



Hah. Ega (Brazil). 



Ovate, rufous brown, nearly smooth, except for a few long, 

 slender, erect hairs ; antenna pubescent, as long as the elytra, 

 the basal joint rather short, stout, second very short, third to 

 the tenth emitting a moderately long and slender branch from 

 the apex, the last joint as long as the two preceding together ; 

 prothorax longer than broad, with scattered punctures unequal 

 in size ; scutellum large, rounded behind ; elytra much broader 

 than the prothorax, striate-punctate, punctures approximate ; 

 body beneatli and legs fulvous ; tarsi hairy. 



Apoerhipis. 



Ccqntt tranaversum. OcuU prorainuli, laterales, subrotundati. An- 

 tennce flabellatse, ante oculos insertai. Prothorax transversus, 

 utrinque reflexo-marginatus. Elytra elongata, dehiscentia. Coxce 

 anticse separatae ; tibice muticse : tarsi lineares ; ungidculi minuti. 

 Abdomen 5-segnientatum. 



Allied to RMpidiuSj in which the eyes are contiguous both 

 above and beneath. The unique specimen here described, 

 although perfect, is an e'stremely delicate form, and it is not 

 easy to examine satisfactorily. The mouth, except the labial 

 palpi, appears to be atrophied, as in Rhipidius, and, like which, 

 the insect is probably parasitic. The antennas, which are 

 inserted in a cavity on each side of a knob-like protuberance 

 in front, appear to be only six-jointed, but there may be ten, 

 their long processes being so involved as to make certainty 

 impossible. 



AporrMpis flexilis. (PI. I. fig. 1.) 



A. fusca, rufo-tincta, subtiliter pilosa ; protborace disco depresso, 

 angulia posticis acutis. Long. 2 lin. 



Hah. Pard. 



Brown, with a rufous tint in part, clothed with minute hairs ;
