The curious malleiform club of the antennae renders tlie genus 

 Cercidocerus easy of recognition, so far as the males are concerned ; 

 in the females it is more like that of Sjplienophorus. Some of the 

 species are covered with what Lacordaire calls a " velvety efflor- 

 escence ; " or it may be confined to certain indented spots as in 

 this species. In the Munich Catalogue, C. alhicollis, 01. (v. p. 91, 

 pi. xxviii. fig. 414), is omitted; it is a West- African species, and 

 the only one not found in Asia or its great adjacent islands.
