MR. E. P. PASCOE ON" THE CITTtCULIONID^. 



Nychiomma. 

 (Erirhininge.) 



Caput pone oculos elongatum. Rostrum robustum, cylindricum, 

 capite brevius ; scrobes subapicales, infra rostrum currentes. 

 Oculi magni, grosse granulati, subrotundati, supra valde, infra 

 minus, approximate prothorace distantes. Antennce scapo cla- 

 viformi, gracili, medium oculi attingente ; funiculo 6-art. brevi ; 

 art. primo incrassato, breviter ovato, cseteris transversis, in 

 clavam continuatis. Protliorax subtransversus, utrinque rotun- 

 datus. Elytra subparallela, prothorace latiora. Pedes antici 

 majores, intermedii minores ; femora perampla, infra dente 

 magno armata ; tibice apice acuminata3, anticaa arcuatse ; tarsi 

 breviusculi, art. tertio lobato, ultimo modice robusto ; unguiculi 

 liberi ; coxa anticsB contiguae, intermedia? approximate. Meta- 

 sternum modice elongatum. Abdomen segmentis duobus basa- 

 libus mediocribus, secundo 3-4 conjunctim breviore; sutures 

 rectae. Processus intercoxalis subangustus, truncatus. 

 I am disposed to place this curious little genus near Eugnomus, 

 Schdn., on account of the elongation of the head behind and the 

 scape impinging on the eye. The insect is remarkable for the 

 size of this latter organ and the close approximation of one to the 

 other in front. 



Nychiomma testacea. N. subovata, omnino testacea, oculis fuscis 

 exceptis, pube sparsa sericea subtiliter tecta ; rostro parum arcuato, 

 subtilissime punctato ; capite glabro ; prothorace impunctato, apice 

 angusto, truncato, utrinque valde rotundato, basi integro ; scutello 

 triangulari ; elytris sulcato-punctatis, apice rotundatis, clava antenna- 

 rura longitudine articulis ultimis quinque conjunctim funiculi sequali. 

 Long, lj lin.

 margines aDteriores ad medium oculorum attingentes. Antennce
