beyond the end of the face, second clavate, four times as long as the first, third 
and fourth filiform, the former not half the length of the second, the latter 
about half the length of the third ; eyes large, prominent, almost their whole 
width projecting beyond the anterior margin of the pronotum ; rostrum reach- 
ing to the third pair of cox, first joint stout, as long as the head. 
Thorax: pronotum very considerably deflected towards the head, anterior margin 
about the width of the head between the eyes, and with a narrow collar; sides 
almost straight, the width across the posterior margin at least three times 
greater than the anterior, slightly concave across the scutellum, and rounded 
towards and at the hinder angles; scutellum triangular, very convex, considera- 
bly higher than the clavus, depressed in the centre; elytra longer than the 
abdomen, slightly tapering from the base to the middle, and from thence gradu- 
ally widening out to the base of the cuneus; cuneus long; legs long, thin, third 
pair longest ; tibiw, third pair somewhat bent, and slightly thickened below the 
base ; tarsi short, basal joint shortest, second and third of almost equal length. 
MiIMocorIs CAMARANOTOIDES, Scott, sp. 7. 
Dark brown, with a velvety appearance, and sparingly clothed with 
almost erect, short, dark hairs. 
Head: crown and face reddish or somewhat fuscous-brown, posterior margin of the 
former slightly raised ; antenne yellow, second joint slightly brownish-yellow, 
base narrowly, and apical third black, third yellow, apical half brown, fourth 
brown, apex narrowly reddish ; eyes dark brown; rostrwm brown, apex black. 
Thorax: pronotum dull red, slightly shining, coarsely wrinkled transversely, across 
the posterior margin more or less broadly brown; scutellum dark brown, 
shining, or with a slight reddish shade, posterior portion as far as the deep de- 
pression finely wrinkled transversely; elytra dark brown, with a velvety ap- 
pearance, with a curved silvery-white band, extending from near the base of 
the anterior margin of the corium, where it is widest, across the clavus to the 
apex of the scutellum ; posterior margin silvery-white, base very narrowly 
silvery-white ; across the middle of the disc, and in an oblique direction towards 
the apex of the interior margin is a faint milky-white irroration, more or less 
broad and distinct in certain lights; cuneus long, dark brown; legs clear 
reddish-brown ; thighs, third pair pitchy-red, apex of all the pairs on each side 
with a distinct white patch ; tibie yellow, base of the first pair narrowly, and 
of the second pair broadly, fuscous, third pitchy-red, apical third pale yellow ; 
tarsi piceous, second joint yellowish. 
Abdomen, underneath black. Length, 2 lines. 
This insect, at first sight, might readily be mistaken by any one 
for a species of Camaronotus; but the projecting eyes, red pronotum, 
and different position of the white bands on the elytra at once mark its 
distinctness. 
Three specimens were taken by Mr. Marshall. 
(To be concluded in owr neat.)
