1. Prothorax nearly straight at the base. 



A. Funicle of antennae 6-jointed Phlyda, n. g. 



B. Funicle of antennae 7-jointed. 



b. Scrobe extending to the eye Epherina, n. g. 



b*. Scrobe strictly limited behind. 



Club of the antennas pedunculate, ..Titinia, n. g. 



Club sessile Idaspora, n. g. 



2. Prothorax bisinuate at the base Myllocerus, Schon. 



Phlyda. 



Eostrum shorter than, and nearly as broad as, the head ; the 

 serobes very short and distinctly limited behind, placed nearly at the 

 apex and visible from above. Eyes small, round. Scape of the antennae 

 curved, extending to the middle of the prothorax ; funicle (fig. la) 

 6-jointed, 1- 2- 3-joints gradually shorter, obconic, the last three trans- 

 verse ; club small, narrowly ovate, sessile. Prothorax cylindrical. 

 Elytra obovate. Legs moderate; femora thickened in the middle, 

 unarmed ; anterior tibiae bisinuate on the inner edge, posterior with 

 their corbels open ; tarsi with the third joint broadly bilobed ; claws 

 free. Metasternum rather short. Eirst two abdominal segments large, 

 the first suture arched. 



This genus will be readily distinguished by the six-jointed funicle. 

 The species described below has exactly the habit of Peritelus 

 Schonherri.* 



Phlyda periteloides. (fig. I.) 

 Closely covered with small round scales, of a whitish colour clouded 



with pale brown, and with three 

 tolerably distinct brownish stripes 

 on the prothorax; elytra shortly 

 ovate, with well marked striae al- 

 most obsoletely punctured, each 

 apex rounded, and very feebly pro- 

 duced ; body beneath and legs with 

 greyish, somewhat silvery scales, 

 l. Fhiyda. the corbels of the tibiae edged with 



la. funicle of antenna of ditto. 



L SuToTditto. black setiform scales. 



la. f ^antenna of ditto. _ Length, 2* lines. 



4a. funicle of antenna of ditto. Sab. Adelaide. 



* This species, on account of its claws which are not united, should be separated from Peritelua.
