30 Mr. J. S. Baly's descriptions of new genera 



Genus Ochrosopsis, Saunders. 

 Proc. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1842, p. bQ. 



Chloroplisma, Dicenopsis, Idiocephala, pars^ Saunders ; 

 Cryptocephalus , pars, Suffrian. 



Corpus oblongum, anguste bblongum aut elongatum, 

 subcylindricum. Caput tlioraci insertum, perpendiculare ; 

 oculis ovalibus, intus profunde angulatim emarginatis ; 

 antennis filiformibus, articulis exterioribus saepe leviter 

 compressis et dilatatis, rarius abrupte incrassatis $ . Tho- 

 rax convexus, lateribus integris. Scutellum subquadratum 

 aut subtrigonatum, apice late truncate. Elytra thoracis 

 basi fere sequilata, circa scutellum abrupte incrassata, 

 lateribus ante medium modice lobatis. Pedes mediocres, 

 unguiculis basi incrassatis. Prosternum elongatum, ob- 

 longum aut subquadratum, margine antico j)lerumque 

 deflexo ; margine postico bilobato aut sinuato, interdum 

 obtuse truncato aut rotundato. 



This genus includes many of the species described by 

 Saunders under Idiocephala, also (at any rate for the 

 present) his genus Mitocera. Mitocera viridipennis, 

 Saunders, recently redescribed by Dr. Chapuis under the 

 name of Cryjjt. perlongus, differs from the majority of the 

 species chiefly in the slender antennee, longer than the 

 body in either sex, in the elongate prosternum, rounded 

 at its hinder apex, and combined with these in its narrow 

 elongate body. 



Ochrosopsis erudita. 



Elongata, subcylindrica, Isete rufo-fulva, nitida, vertice, 

 antennis, scutello, tibiis apice tarsisque nigris; thorace 

 utrinque pone medium oblicfue impresso, rude punctate ; 

 elytris metallico-viridibus, profunde substriatim punctatis, 

 utrisque vitta obliqua, prope medium posita et ad suturam 

 confluenta, conjunctis literam V simulantibus, rufo-fulva 

 ornatis.
