dentate, the terminal joints slender, concave at the upper edge, 

 the tenth produced into a point, the eleventh joint shorter and 

 more strongly curved ; thorax one half broader than long , the 

 sides nearly straight, the surface with a rather deep transverse 

 depression, fulvous, impunctate ; scutellum obscure fulvous ; ely- 

 tra dark violaceous, finely and sparingly punctured ; legs fulvous, 

 tibiae unarmed, anterior coxal cavities open. 



Tikekee (Pegu) June. 



In the type C. nodicornis^ Wied. the male has the 6.*^ and 

 the ly^ joints of the antennae strongly developed, in the pre- 

 sent species it is the eighth joint, this is also the case in C. flwa, 

 Baly, but other differences in structural characters are absent; 

 in the female the antennae are simple and of totally different 

 structure, the lower joints are of more elongate triangular shape 

 and the terminal ones, elongate and cylindrical; the apex of 

 the tibiae and the tarsi are also stained with fuscous ; the pre- 

 sent species ought perhaps not to be retained in Cerophysa. 



109. Ceroplxysa monstr oisa , n. sp. 



Metallic violaceous, the antennae, tibiae and tarsi black ; tho- 

 rax deeply biimpressed, impunctate, el}' tra extremely sparingly 

 and finely punctured. 



d^. Antennae with the fifth, sixth and seventh joints trans- 

 verse and distorted, the eighth elongate and deeply sulcate. 



9 . Antennae simple, the terminal joints thickened. 



c/. Head impunctate , the frontal elevations obsolete , the 

 labrum and palpi black, the antennae only extending to the 

 base of the elytra, black, the second joint very short, the third 

 more elongate and thickened, the fourth short and transverse, 

 the fifth strongly transverse, curved and with a protruding point 

 at its upper edge , the sixth transversely thickened , deeply 

 excavated above and placed lower than the preceding joint, the 

 seventh transversely subquadrate, the eighth broadly thickened , 

 more elongate and deeply longitudinally excavate, the terminal 

 joints short and transverse, opaque ; thorax subquadrate, deeply
