2S Mr, J. S. Baly's descriptions of neio genera 



Genus Apoeoceea, Saunders. 



Proc. Ent. Soc. 1843, p. 54. 



Corpus elongatum, parallelum, subcjlindricum. Caput 

 tlioraci insertum ; oculis raagnis, paullo prominulis, ova- 

 libus, intus profunde angulatim emarginatis ; antennis 

 robustis, fusiformibus, articulis primo ovato, secundo brevi, 

 his glabris, nitidis ; ceteris incrassatis, dense liirsutis. 

 Thorax convexus, dorso leviter gibbosus ; lateribus 

 integris, late marginatis, margine postico utrinque obliquo, 

 lobo basali truncato. Scutellum trigonatum, apice trun- 

 catum. Elytra tliorace ^quilata, lateribus ante medium 

 valde lobatis ; dorso circa scutellum abrupte elevata, stri- 

 atim punctata. Pedes robusti, mediocres ; unguiculis 

 basi incrassatis. Prosternum planum, margine antico 

 deflexo ; margine postico truncato. 

 Type, Aporocera apicalis, Saunders. 



The specimen of A. apicalis, fi-om which I have drawn 

 up the above characters, is a 2 ; Mr. Saunders' type 

 specimen, now in the Hopeian cabinet, has been kindly 

 examined for me by Professor Westwood, who finds that 

 it also belongs to the same sex. The types of A. bicolor 

 and chalybea, both described from Mr. Hope's collection, 

 are now unfortunately missing; but judging from the 

 figure and descriptions given by Saunders, they are very 

 nearly allied to A. apicalis, and belong, without doubt, to 

 the same generic group. The fourth species, A. Cato- 

 xantlia, Saunders, is an Idiocephala. 



Genus Chariderma. 



Corpus oblongo-elongatum,. subcylindricum. Caput 

 thoraci insertum ; oculis ovalibus, intus profunde angu- 

 latim emarginatis ; antennis ad oculos proxime insertis, 

 corpore ffiquilongis, articulis 3tio ad 6tum compressis et 

 dilatatis, Vto compresso, minus dilatato, quatuor ultimis 

 cylindricis, non dilatatis. Thorax convexus, lateribus 

 integris, ante apicem sinuatis. Scutellum trigonatum, 

 apice elevato, truncato, basi bilobatum. Elytra thoracis 

 basi pauUo latiora, parallela, lateribus ante medium modice 

 lobatis ; supra convexa, circa scutellum modice elevata, 

 punctato-striata. Pedes modice elongati, unguiculis basi 

 incrassatis. Prosternum transverso-quadratum, postice
