CLERIDAE FROM BURMAH 719 



doubt they will come in to a neAV genus, but at present I do 

 not see how to distinguish them ; I have not material for dis- 

 section, as they are very rare. 



The collections recently received from M. Doherty lend an 

 additional interest to these, as they are to a great extent pa- 

 rallel or even identical, though from different localities in 

 Burmah , viz the Ruby mines ; and from Assam and Manipur 

 in India, Perak etc. But as I shall soon give an account of 

 these, 1 will not say more at present than that there are many 

 new Callimeri and several Xenorthrii among them. 



The Cleridae of Sign. L. Fea's collecting appear to be 53 in 

 number of species, of vN'hich 27 appear to be new. 



Subfamily I. Tillides 

 JVoclepus, genus novum. 



Tarsi quinque-articulati^ vix lamellati, capici in prothorace re- 

 ceptum. Antennae undecim^-articulatae, sub-filiformes articulis tribus 

 ultimis laevioribus, parwm latioribus, clavam hand prebentibus. 

 Oculi granulati, prominuli, vix excisi. Pronotum elongato-obconicum, 

 antice paululum constrictum. Elytra angusta, parallela, prothorace 

 vix latiora, abdominis apicem haud obtegentia. Femora compressa 

 clavata. Corpus parvum,, angnstum., cylindricum. 



Head almost as wide at the base, as the thorax into which 

 it is firmly received, eyes a little prominent. Antennae thin 

 and nearly as long as the head and thorax taken together. 

 Thorax elongate , cylindrical , strongly narrowed behind the 

 middle, the front scarcely constricted but the margin reflexed, 

 for the reception of the head. Legs of moderate length, the 

 femora wide and compressed , the tibiae linear, neither armed 

 nor setose, tarsi short, not so long as the tibiae, the second, 

 third, and fourth joints very slightly produced beneath, hardly 

 to be seen as with lamellae at all. Body smooth not pubescent. 



This genus is sugestive of Nemozoma, but is really allied to 

 Denops. It is also judging by the description very like Dupon-
