Lacordaire's statement. The former says that the antennal club. 
consists of three joints while the latter somewhat inconsistently 
diagnosis affirms that joints 6-8 are grudually transverse and that 
joints 9-11 form the club; and that the females can hardly be

on its back) the edge of the pygidium can’ be seen beyond it, 
while the ventral segments of the other four are ea convex

in which joints 6.8 are so strongly and gradually dilated that it is 
difficult to say at which joint the club really begins (which might 
account for Lacordaire’s contradictory statements), —while the 
antenn of the other four have a distinctly three -jointed club and 
are I think females,—the two being males. I take it that Jekel 
founded the genus on the female, and that Lacordaire diagnosed 
a male and either failed to observe the antenne of the female 
correctly, or regarded as male and female specimens that were

enus isa very well marked one among the Australian 
Anth ribide by the unusual hät of the antennal scrobes 
being basal and sulciform, in conjunction with the ante-basal 
carina of the pronotum wanting and the lateral carine spatial 
nearly to the apex where they do not form an angle. I observe 
this character is not referred to by Jekel or Lacordaire it may 
not be present in B. nitidicutis, Jekel (from India and Java), the 
typical species. 
It is to be noted that M. Lacordaire ge under the name 
Gynandrocerus an African genus which he says differs from 
nigro-picea vestita, hac pallida es testacea partim.
