by Lacordaire, but more or less bilobed. The foveiform scrobes and small 
eyes away from the prothorax are the most essential diagnostie characters 
of Phrynirus. My specimen is from an old collection, and was purchased 
from Mr. Stevens.

CECYROPA. 
Rostrum breve, validum ; scrobes subterminales, postice dilatate, longe 
ante oculos desinentes; scapus elongatus, gradatim incrassatus, pone 
oculum superans; funiculus breviusculus, 7-articulatus, articulo 
basali crassiore, secundo breviore, ceteris transversis ; clava dis- 
tincta. Oculi ovati, grosse granulati, prothoraci contigui. Prothoraa 
ampliatus, paulo convexus, utrinque rotundatus, basi truncatus ; lobis 
ocularibus fere obsoletis, fimbriatis. Scutellum invisum. Elytra 
eordiformia, prothorace latiora, humeris obliquis. femora crassa ; 
tibie versus apicem valde ampliate, postice corbellis cavernosis ; 
tarsi articulis duobus basalibus triangularibus, secundo minore, 
tertio late. bilobo ; ultimo mediocre; wnguiculis liberis ; cove antice 
haud contigum. Abdomen segmentis duobus basalibus amplis, sutura

It is not without hesitation that I place this genus with the Rhyparoso- 
mine, the cavernous corbels of the posterior tibiæ being exceptional. It 
has, however, some analogy at least to Dysostines on account of its large 
prothorax and the non-contiguity of the anterior coxe. At any rate there 
is no other place for it in ** Section A” of the ** Phanérognathes symmérides " 
of Lacordaire, to which the genus belongs. Of my two specimens, one has 
a few patches of dark-coloured scales on the middle of the elytra; in the 
other the dark predominates, the white forming dispersed spots on the 
upper surface.
