laterally, ampliated towards the apex which is straight with the 

 outer angles slightly rounded ; palpi inserted laterally, last joint 

 swollen and fusiform and also somewhat acuminate outwardly, 

 nearly straight inwardly ; maxillae with the upper lobe compressed, 

 hardly concave, the upper part serrate, and with alternate stiff 

 bristles and two plain teeth on the inner side next to the inner lobe 

 which is very plain, rounded at the top, and briefly penicillate 

 inwardly at the tip ; labial palpi long, last joint slightly fusiform 

 outwardly, nearly straight inwardly, the outer impression long and 

 narrow ; apical part of the triquetrous maxillae laminate transversely, 

 chisel-like, not membranous inwardly, head with a clypeal transverse 

 keel, also plainly keeled laterally, and having another transverse 

 prominence on the vertex, clypeus straight in front but slightly 

 emarginate in the middle and with the margin reflexed, labrum 

 broad, projecting a little forwards, deeply incised ; antennae 

 10- jointed, third joint slightly longer than the fourth, sixth and 

 seventh compressed, laminate inwardly, the seventh, however, longer 

 than the sixth, club tri- jointed and curved, the joints half as long 

 again as the whole pedicel ; prothorax ampliated laterally and 

 rounded at the centre, posterior angles rounded ; elytra sub-parallel 

 but plainly sinuate laterally in the anterior part and covering 

 only the basal' part of the broad propygidium ; pygidium small, 

 vertical; anterior tibiae tri-dentate and having a very small inner 

 spur, intermediate ones with a rudimentary transverse ciliated keel, 

 entirely wanting in the posterior which are moderately dilated at 

 apex, with the lower spur somewhat sharp, and the upper 

 narrowly blade-like; claws with a post-median vertical tooth 

 underneath. 



Evidently allied to Kraseojphylla, but the mandibles have no molar 

 tooth nor are they thickly membranous inwardly. 



Pasaphylla libens, n. spec. 



Testaceous or light chestnut-brown, club of antennae flavous, head, 

 prothorax, scutellum and pectus clothed with a very dense and long 

 flavous pubescence ; head deeply and broadly punctured, the punc- 

 tures nearly contiguous, and separated from each other by a sharp 

 wall, clypeus broadly rounded laterally but nearly straight in front 

 and plainly emarginate in the centre, the raised part of the vertex is 

 not keeled, but the clypeal carina is very distinct ; prothorax closely 

 shagreened, a little less attenuate laterally from the ampliated median 

 part towards the base, the outer angle of which is rounded, than 

 towards the anterior part ; scutellum somewhat long, cordiform ;
