the outer one is very obsolete; they are densely clothed with very 

 fine fuscous setae. Pygidiura densely and rather finely but rugosely 

 punctured, quite dull and clothed with fine fuscous setae. Under- 

 surface densely and finely punctured, the metasternum clothed rather 

 scantily with fine depressed hairs, the hind coxae with ininute scales. 

 Anterior tibiae tridentate; hind tibiae slender; mesosternal process 

 short, spurs of the hind tibiae slender and pointed. 



This interesting species is intermediate between Leucopholis und 

 Ancylonycha puberina Blanch. (Tricholepis grandis , Munich Cat.). The 

 form of the front parts and the mesosternal process are similar to 

 Leucopholis, while the clothing , and the form and position of the 

 pygidium are rather those of Ancylonycha puberina. My three speci- 

 mens shew no sexual distinctions and are perhaps all males. 



Cyphochilus vestitus (n. sp.) : Piceus , subtus cum pedibus an- 

 tennisque rufus, supra squamis magnis, albidis densissime vestitus, subtus 

 parcius pallide squamosus; palporum maxillarium articulo ultimo gracili; 

 mesosterni processu brevi. — Long 19 mill. 



Cambodia (Mouhot!). 



Head and clypeus quite covered with very large scales , which 

 are pure white except on the front of the clypeus where they are 

 pale yellow. Thorax very transverse, the lateral margins a little in- 

 crassate in front, slightly sinuate just at the front angles, which are 

 therefore acute and a little projecting, only slightly narrowed behind 

 the middle so that the hind angles are a little obtuse, it is densely 

 covered with coarse , pure white scales. Elytra clothed densely with 

 scales similar to those of the thorax. Pygidium extremely closely 

 (entirely) covered with coarse white scales , which however are di- 

 stinctly smaller than those of the elytra. Undersurface moderately 

 closely covered with pale scales which are coarse but not so large 

 as those of the upper surface. Palpi yellowish, the last Joint of the 

 maxillary ones elongate, slender and scarcely at all thickened in the 

 middle: the labrum very unsymmetrical. Pront tibiae rather slender, 

 the upper öne of their three teeth only slightly developed, the hind 

 tibiae short and rather stoutj the process of the mesosternum short, 

 its terminätion obtuse. 



The only individual I have seen I believe to be a male.
