ME. P. P. PASCOE ON THE OUECULIONlDiE. I7l 



A remarkable form, ou account of the prolongation of the 

 elytra as in some of the BrentUdcB. The only example I have 

 seen was kindly presented to me by Mr. E. Sheppard, and be- 

 longed to the late Mr. Curtis. There was no locality named ; but 

 the colour of the bit of paper attached, in the old slovenly way 

 appeared to indicate that it was from South America; its re' 

 semblance, however, to RyloUus aphya leaves very little doubt 

 in my muid that it is from India.

The club of the antennaa is four-jointed in this genus, while in 

 m Aclees, to which it is allied, it is only two-jointed ; it is further 

 distinguished from that genus by its ocular lobes, emargination 

 of the propectus, and dii-ection of the scrobeg. The latter cha- 

 racter distinguislies it from Ilylohius.
