Tenerus, Castelnau. 

 Type, T. prcBustus, Cast. 



A very natural genus, and widely distributed in the 

 Old World tropics. The great majority of the species 

 yet known are from the Malay Isles. 



M. Chevrolat's remark [Mem. 1876, p. 37, note] on the 

 supposed synonymy of Stenocylidrus, Spin., with this 

 genus is based on some error, the type of the former 

 being Xylobius azureus, Klug. 



Tenerus Parryanus, n. sp. 



Ruber, supra dense pubescens, corpore toto subtus, pro- 

 thoracis lateribus, antennis, pedibusque nigris, elytris 

 quadri-costatis, costis ante apicem desinentibus. 



Long. 7g lin. 



Nearly allied to T. cingalensis, White, from which it 

 differs in having the elytra without any apical spot, the 

 sides of the thorax and the underside (including that of 

 the head) black, the crown only is darker ; the pronotum 

 has the centre with a keel, and two longitudinal sulci, the 

 central portion between them appearing darker, especially 

 at the base, but this is due to the pubescence there reflect- 

 ing the light less. The whole of the upper surface of a 

 rich brick-red. 



Hab. — Indian Archipelago ; coll. Parry, who oblig- 

 ingly lent the specimen to me with other Cleridce, and to 

 whom I have pleasure in dedicating its description.
