24 ME. r. p. PASC&E ON THE CUKUULIONID^. 



coloribus plerumque vestitus ; rostro rugoso-punctato ; funiculo arti- 

 culo secundo quam primo ( S ) paulo, ( ^ ) dimidio breviore ; protho- 

 race sat confertim grosse granulate, interspatiis subtiliter squa- 

 moso, lateribus plaga subobliqua ornato; elytris sulcato-punctatis, 

 pimctis approximatis, interstitiis convexis, magis remote granulatis, 

 fascia media arcuata maculisque posticis albis ornatis ; tarsis anticis 

 mimis dilatatis. Long. 6-8 lin. 

 Nab. Ceram ; Amboyna ; Bouru. 



At the first glance these two species have much the same ap- 

 pearance ; but their contour will at once distinguish them. The 

 markings are somewhat variable ; in one of my specimens of the 

 species before us the posterior spots are absent. 



Cenchrena. 



(Erirhininse.) 



SostriDii cylindricum, arcuatum ; scrobes antemediansB, rectae. 

 Scapus oculum baud afctiogens ; funiculus 7-artieulatus ; clava 

 adnata. OcwZi angusti, subfortiter granulati. Prothorax ^2i,v\o 

 transversus, apice tubulatus, basi bisinuatus ; lohis ocularibus 

 baud prominulis, vel obsoletis. Scutellum nullum. Elytra ob- 

 longa, prothorace latiora, basi reflexo-marginata. Pedes validi ; 

 femora incrassata, mutica ; tibicB intus bisinuatse, apice calca- 

 ratse ; tarsi triarticulati, articulo ultimo ampliato-rotundato ; 

 cooccs anticse contiguse. Abdomen segmentis duobus basalibus 

 ampliatis. Corpus oblongum. 



Among the few genera of Erirhininae with three-jointed tarsi, 

 this genus may be known by its straight scrobes, afunicle of seven 

 joints, and the absence of a scutellum. The three species de- 

 scribed below are densely scaly, except their antennae and tip of the 

 rostrum, and have erect curiously hooked bristles sparingly scat- 

 tered on the upper surface.
