32 MR. M. JACOBY ON NEW GENERA AND (Jan. 3, 
Head flat, slightly depressed between the eyes, closely covered 
with fine longitudinal striz, a triangular space between the eyes 
impunctate and smooth; anterior margin of the clypeus perfectly 
straight. Labrum transverse, black. Antenne shorter than the 
thorax; fulvous, the first joint metallic ceneous, dentate from the 
seventh joint. Thorax nearly four times as broad as long, the pos- 
terior margin moderately produced at the middle, the median lobe 
not produced and straight; sides rounded, the entire surface closely 
covered with elongate punctures and fine longitudinal strie. Scu- 
tellum rather broad, triangular, smooth. Elytra slightly broader at 
the base than the thorax, regularly convex, the apex rounded, with 
an obsoletely raised short costa near the lateral margin towards the 
apex; lateral lobe moderately produced and rounded; surface 
covered with smaller and larger punctures on the disk, the.sides and 
apex finely and closely strigose ; entirely of a metallic bronze colour. 
Underside and legs of the same colour, closely rugose-punctate ; 
the abdominal segments of nearly equal length; tarsi fulvous. 
Prosternum rather broader than long, compressed and narrowed 
behind, rugose-punctate. 
Two specimens are contained in my collection. 
I may add to the above description, that the elytra in both the 
specimens before me are covered with small purplish spots of dif- 
ferent shape and position, which I attribute to accident or discolora- 
tion of the ground-colour, although I cannot be sure about it. One 
specimen shows also a short pygidium, while the latter is totally 
covered by the elytra in the other. 
EUMOLPIDS. 
Lunycutus, nov. gen. (sect. Typophorine). 
Antenuee with the last five joints widened, last three joints broadly 
transverse, wider than long. Eyes distant, entire. Prosternum 
narrowed at the middle, its base truncate; femora without teeth; 
intermediate tibiee notched at the apex. Claws bifid, the inner 
division minute. 
Type, Eulychius madagascariensis. 
This genus may be at once distinguished from all those belonging 
to the T'ypophorine by the broadly transverse and flattened apical 
joints of the antennee. It seems to be allied to the genus Sybriacus, 
Har., but differs in the unarmed femora and bifid claws. 
4, EULYCHIUS MADAGASCARIENSIS, Sp. nov. 
Oblong, rufous ; last three joints of the antennze black ; thorax 
coarsely punctured; elytra finely punctate-striate, black, opaque, 
shoulders and the apex rufous. 
Length 23 lines. 
Hab. Madagascav. 
Head rather closely and strongly punctured. Clypeus separated 
from the face by an obsolete transverse groove. Labrum testaceous. 
Antenne extending to the base of the thorax ; first joint subglobular,
