Two at least very distinct species belong to this remarkable 

 genus. They are covered with a pale thin crust having compa- 

 ratively slight attachment to the derm, and, from the length of 

 their bodies and their short legs, have a habit approaching the 

 Brenthidse. This genus, as well as the following, differs from 

 the Calandrinse in its seven-jointed funicle. They will probably 

 constitute a distinct subfamily between Campyloscelinse and Ca- 

 landrinae.

 griseo omniuo tecta, setisque parce interjectis; rostro quam pro-

Hab. Dorey ; Batchian ; Ceram ; Saylee. 



The specimens from Ceram and Saylee differ slightly in the 

 apices of the elytra from the type. 



Aphyoda brenthoides. A. angustior; indumento etc. ut in prsece- 

 dente, sed rostro quam prothorace vix breviore ; prothorace quam lati-
