MR. F. P. PASCOE ON THE CURCTJLIONTDJS. 



dum ; scrobes medianse, subobliquse, ad partem inferiorem oculo- 

 rum curre rites. Scapus oculum vix attingens ; funiculus 7-arti- 

 culatus, squamulosus, art. secundo longiusculo, sequentibus 

 submoniliformibus ; clctva distincta, breviter ovata. Oculi sub- 

 tenuiter granulati, antice sat approximantes. Vrothorax apice 

 valde angustus, antice utrinque fortiter rotundatus, deinde 

 parallelus, lobis ocularibus angustis. Scutellwn rotundatum. 

 Elytra breviuscula, convexa, vel paulo depressa, ovata, basi tri- 

 sinuata, prothorace latiora, postice declivia, bumeris productis. 

 Pedes elongati, pilis erectis instructi, intermedii minores ; femora 

 sublinearia, mutica ; tibia longiusculse, rectse, subteretes, unco 

 subhorizontali armatae; tarsi longiusculi, articulo tertio lato, 

 quarto valde elongato, squamuloso ; unguiculi parvi. Rima 

 pectoralis inter coxas interrnedias protensa, apice aperta. Ab- 

 domen normale. 



The members of this genus have much the appearance of One- 

 margus cliamceleon ; they have a long claw-joint, and are probably 

 numerous, as Mr. Wallace's collection contains about twenty spe- 

 cies. The tufts on the prothorax and elytra consist of short erect 

 scales much darker than those elsewhere ; and the punctures on 

 same parts have mostly a scale at the bottom of each.
