margin of the epimera j anterior epimera trapezilform, outer anterior angle 
scarcely produced. Sp. L. batesii, Baly. 
Corycia, Baly, loc. cit. p. 221. Elongate or oblong, convex. Head 
perpendicular, nearly concealed by the produced thorax ^ antennae filiform j 
mentum quadrato-emarginate. Thorax transverse, sides rounded, entire, or 
ohsoletely angulate. Elytra parallel, irregularly punctate-striate. Legs 
simple ; claws appendiculate. Prosternum concavo-emarginate at base, at 
the apex continuous with the margin of the epimera ; anterior epimera tra- 
peziiform, outer anterior angle not produced to angle of thorax. Sp. C. 
funesta, Baly. 
Cychrea, Baly, loc. cit. p. 222. Oblong or suhelongate, convex. Head 
exserted, perpendicular \ antennae filiform j mentum quadrato-emarginate. 
Thorax narrower than the elytra, sides rounded, entire, not sloping, anterior 
margin not produced. Elytra parallel, irregularly punctate-striate. Legs 
and claws as in preceding. Prosternum deeply emarginate at base, bilobed, 
continuous in front with the epimera ; anterior epimera as in preceding. Sp. 
C. histrio, Baly. 
EriphylCf Baly, loc. dt. p. 222. Antennae with the five apical joints 
slightly dilated, forming an indistinct club. Thorax scarcely narrower than 
the elytra, narrowed towards the apex. The other characters as in preceding. 
Sp. E. unimaculataf Baly. 
Platycorynus, Baly, New Genera, &c. p. 2. Nearly allied to Cory- 
nodes (Hope) j antennae robust, with the last five joints compressed, more or 
less dilated, forming a club ) eyes placed in a large pit j claws appendiculate 
or dentate. Twenty-seven new species. 
Dematochromay Baly, New Genera, &c. p. 16. Oblong-elongate; head 
exserted ; antennae robust, attenuated at apex, joints compressed ; thorax 
transverse ; elytra scarcely broader than thorax ; tibiae canaliculate externally ; 
claws appendiculate. Sp. D. picea, Baly. 
XanthopachySy Baly, New Genera, &c. p. 16. Body rotundate-ovate, 
very convex; head inserted in the thorax; antennae short, last five joints 
forming a compressed club ; thorax transverse, margined ; legs robust, thighs 
thickened, tibiae curved, tarsi broad, with the first joint short, claws appen- 
diculate. Prosternum continuous with the margin of the epimera, anterior 
epimera trapeziiform, outer anterior angle not produced to the angle of the 
thorax. ' Sp. X. nigripeSj Baly. 
Mai'scmSy Clark, Journ. of Ent. vol. ii. p. 252. Nearly allied to Rhy- 
parida (Baly), but less elongate, with the margins of the tliorax rotundate or 
rotundato-angulate. Difiers from Fehra in the subquadmte thorax and the 
more arched elytra, of which the margins scarcely reach to the shoulders. 
Type, Cryptocephalus didymus, Fab. 
Damelia, Clark, 1. c. p. 255. Closely allied to Basilepta (Baly), but the 
antennie are robust, the legs elongated and robust, with no teeth on the 
femora ; intermediate and posterior tibiae with a short spine near the apex. 
Sp. D. marshalli, Clark.
