Two at least very distinct species belong to tbis remarkable 

 genus. They are covered with a pale thin crust having compa- 

 ratively slight attachment to the derm, and, from the length of 

 their bodies and their short legs, have a habit approaching the 

 Brenthidse. This genus, as well as the following, differs from 

 the CalandrinsB in its seven-jointed funicle. They will probably 

 constitute a distinct subfamily between Campyloscelinse and Ca- 

 landriuje. 



Aphyoda diura. (PI. VII. fig. 1.) A. angusta, indumento pallide 

 griseo omniuo tecta, setisque parce interjectis; rostro quam pro- 

 tborace multo breviore ; protborace quam latitudine sesquilongiore ; 

 scutello parvo, transverse, nigro ; ely tris singulis in processum conicum

Hab. Dorey ; Batcbian ; Cerara ; Saylee. 



The specimens from Coram and Saylee differ slightly in the 

 apices of the elytra from the type.

 dente, sed rostro quam protborace vix breviore ; protborace quam lati-
