Eumolpus fusculus, Motsch. t. c. p. 408. 
All these species have been placed by Motschulsky in Bromius , 
hut are quite unrecognizable from his descriptions. The habitat 
of all as given by him is Ceylon : Newarra Elba. 
Group LEPROTINI. 
Body above and beneath pubescent or clothed with scales and 
single rigid hairs ; thorax subcylindrical, scarcely marginate at sides. 
Legs long and slender, tibiae nearly always entire; claws bifid. Pro- 
sternum narrow ; anterior margin of thoracic episternum concave. 
This division contains the greatest number ot the genera of the 
Eumolpince. The species in all the genera are mostly of sombre 
coloration, never metallic, and are characterized by the close 
pubescence or scale-like covering of the upper parts. The species 
require a very laborious and careful study for their determination 
as many of them are small and of intricate sculpture and 
structure.
