The head is unfortunately wanting in my specimen, the only 

 one I have seen ; but the insect is unmistakably an Aonyclms, 

 and sucli an interesting addition to the genus that I am unwilling 

 to let it remain unpublished. It is considerably broader than A. 

 Ilopei, the scales on the upper parts not so closely set and 

 coarser ; the pattern also is diiierent. It is still further removed 

 from A. lineatiis.

Lacordaire founded the genus JEctatorMmis on what I believe to 

 be a female ; the two very marked species here described are of 

 the opposite sex and agree generically with the male of E. Wal- 

 lacei, the type. The first species, which I have named after 

 Arthur Adams, Esq., its discoverer, is at once distinguished from 

 the latter by the tubercles on the elytra, and is interesting from its 

 northern habitat. The second species difters from both in having 

 a strong conical tubercle on each side beliind tlie shoulder. Tlio 

 contiguous anterior coxae is the only really important character 

 differentiating JEclatorJiinus from Mecocorymis ; in my specimens 

 I do not find the scape attaining the eye as stated by Lacordaire. 

 Of the latter genus I have five undescribed species, with habitats 

 rauging from New Guinea to Cambodia and China.
