in clavam continuatis. Oculi prothoraci contigui. Frothoraoc 

 subconicus, apice latior, paulo productus. Bcutellum distinctum. 

 Elytra oblonga, supra paulo planata, protborace vix latiora. 

 Fygidium parvum. Femora longiuscula, sublinearia, postica 

 infra canaliculata, omnia dente parvo instructa ; tihice anticse 

 subflexuosas, reliquse arcuataj, sulcatae, apice fortiter mucro- 

 natse. Pectus leviter exeavatum. Coxcjb anticse distantes. 

 Frosternum latum, postice truncatum. Abdomen segmentis 

 duobus basalibus ampliatis, connatis. 



Allied to Mi/ctides, but witb the rostrum dilated at the apex, 

 the scrobes commencing behind the middle, the elytra flat along 

 the suture, &c. The species described below is not unlike Faris 

 virgata, Boh.* 



Cynethia interrupta. (PI. III. fig. 12.) C. elliptica, fusco-nigra, 

 vix nitida, lineis albido-squamosis ornata ; rostro basi capiteque crebre 

 punctulatis, illo deinde ad apicem castaneo, subtiliter sparse punctu- 

 lato ; antennis castaneis, scapo pallidiore ; pi'othorace sat confertira 

 punctato, disco lateribus utrinque vittato ; elytris pone humeros lati- 

 oribus, ante apicem callosis, lineatim sulcatis, interstitiis planatis, 

 secundo excepto uniseriatim punctulatis, interstitio tertio vitta inter- 

 rupta albido-squamosa ornatis ; corpore infra castaneo, vittis duab us 

 albido-squamosis ornato. Long. 3 lin. 



Hab. Sumatra. 



ACTTHOPEUS. 



(Baridinse.) 



Caput parvum ; rostrum arcuatum, basi crassius, supra gibbosulum, 

 versus apicem gradatim tenuatum, apice ipso paulo depressum ; 

 scrohes medianse vel postmedianse. Scapus ab oculo remotus ; fu- 

 niculus artieulo prime ampliato, reliquis in clavam continuatis. 

 Oculi tenuiter granulati, prothoraci contigui. Frothorax trans- 

 versus, apice tubulatus, baud productus, basi fortiter bisinuatus. 

 Scutellum parvum. Elytra prothorace vix latiora ( $ ?), postice 

 angustiora. Femora mutica, infra subcanaliculata. Ccetera ut in 

 Myctide. 



Near Myctides, only the rostrum is very much curved and 

 thickened at the base, and the femora are entire beneath. The 

 position of the scrobes in the first three species described below 

 shows that it is only a specific character (or possibly sexual) ; the 



* This species, judging from Mr. Wallace's collection, has a distribution ei- 

 tendinsr from Sumatra to New Q-uinea.
