16 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on neio Oenera 



ProiJiorax transversus, basi truncatiis. Scutellum conspicuum. 

 Elytra leviter convexa, humeris rotiindatis ; tibice mutica? ; tarsi 

 exigui, angusti. 



In ZopJiius the ninth and tenth joints of the antennee only 

 are slightly transverse, and with the terminal joint scarcely 

 forming a club ; in EuphJceus there is a very marked club of 

 four joints; this character and the small tarsi are the only 

 technical ones differentiating the two genera. In Osdara the 

 clypeus is distinctly limited, the mentum trapeziform, and the 

 tarsi dilated. Lacordaire, in his key, separates these and 

 allied genera by the " moderately broad " and " broad " inter- 

 coxal processes ; but the difference is scarcely perceptible. 



Euphloius verrucosus. 



E. ovatus, modice convexus, fusco-niger, supra rugosus ; prothorace 

 margine crenato ; tibiis fere rectis. Long. 4 lin. 



Hah. Malabar. 



Ovate, moderately convex, brownish black ; head slightly 

 exserted, tuberculate, the clypeus marked off from the head 

 by a shallow depression ; antennge pitchy, slightly pubes- 

 cent ; prothorax rounded and crenated at the sides, its poste- 

 rior angles pointed, the disk closely covered with tubercles 

 varying in size ; scutellum smooth, glossy, transversely trian- 

 gular ; elytra shortly ovate, not broader than the prothorax, 

 with rows of small mammiform tubercles along the strife and 

 much larger ones between them, the latter dotted with minute 

 white scales ; body beneath and femora rugose ; tibige minutely 

 tuberculate ; tarsi ferruginous. 



PiMPLEMA, 



Caput parvum, ad oculos retractum ; clypeus a capita baud discre- 

 tus ; palpi maxillares validi, cylindrici. Antenna} modice elongatse, 

 articulis sexto ad undecimum crassioribus, hoc multo longiore. 

 ProtJiorax valde transversus, lateribus subplanatis. Elytra latis- 

 sima, convexa; epipleurai postice obsoletae. jPemora infra canahcu- 

 lata; tihice rectse ; tarsi lineares. Coxw anticse globosae. Frosterniun 

 clavatum ; mesosternum latum, antice leviter emarginatum ; pro- 

 cessus intercoxalis antice rotundatus. 



Mr. C. Waterhouse tells me that he thinks this genus is iden- 

 tical with Hades, Thoms., which that author placed in Nilio- 

 nidse, from which it differs in the globose and non-contiguity 

 of the anterior coxai. Hades, however, is not available, having 

 been previously employed for a genus of Lepidoptera. The
