lete towards tlie apex of the elytra; the outer third of the base, 

 the margin and a flexuose line on the disc fulvous ; the latter, 

 commencing at the base, from the inner edge of its fulvous 

 line, runs obliquely downwards and inwards to below the 

 middle of the elytron, there curving upwards nad outwards to 

 join the fulvous border at the termination of its second third ; 

 it unites with the latter, and runs along the inner edge for one- 

 third its length ; here it again passes across the disc, and joins 

 the descending portion about its middle } sometimes it ends 

 abruptly in a short process, soon after leaving the margin. Beneath 

 black, head, front of thorax, pleurae and apex of abdomen fulvous.

This species varies much in colouring; sometimes the fulvous 

 portion occupies nearly the whole of the elytra. 



Genus 2. Diphyllocera, Westw. Ent. Trans., v. 213. 



Antennce elongatae, subincrassatae, extus seriatee, articulis tertio 

 ad sextum sensim externe dilatatis, 8vo, 9no et lOmo extus 

 valde dilatatis, ultimo ovali. Palpi truncati, articulo basali 

 minimo, 2do et 3tio majoribus suba3qualibus apice crassioribus, 

 ultimo brevi subquadrato. Thorax quadratus, elytris angus- 

 tior, lateribus rectis, prosterno obsolete dentato. UnguicuU 

 dentati. Corpus elongatum metallicum. 



This genus, remarkable for the dilated antennae, has been placed 

 by Mr. Westwood amongst the Hisp'idce. It appears to have a 

 much greater affinity, in the structure of its tarsi and other cha- 

 racters, to Lamprolina and the insects of the present paper.
