ASIATIC CETONIIDJE. 
of this genus, M. rhinopliyllus (plate ], fig. 3, and details), it will 
here be necessary only to notice the peculiarities of the female 
(Plate 29, fig. 1), which I had not seen when the first plate of this 
work was published. The only specimen which I have seen is con¬ 
tained in Dr. Horsfield’s Javanese Collection at the East India 
House, and I have to return my thanks to that gentleman for an 
opportunity of examining and figuring it. Unfortunately the lower 
parts of the mouth have been removed by some previous observer, 
so that I cannot describe the men turn and labial palpi. The head 
is rather quadrate in front, with the angles slightly produced, the 
space between them being somewhat emarginate. The maxillae 
(fig. 1 a ) resemble those of the male, and have the upper lobe armed 
with four short teeth; the inner lobe is unarmed and rounded; 
the pronotum is unarmed in front and not elevated ; the fore legs 
are much shorter than in the males, and externally 3-dentate, and 
the four hind tibiae are strongly spurred beyond the middle. The 
general colour is much more obscure than in the male, scarcely 
shining, and clothed with luteous setose scales. The female was 
first described by M. Buquet (Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 1S36, p. 
203), from whom I have received a splendidly coloured male. 
MYCTERISTES. (Sltb-G. PHiEDIMUS.) Waterhouse. 
Both the sexes of the only known species, M. (P.) Cumingii , having 
been fully described and figured, with their details in the first plate 
of this work, it will be only necessary to notice, that in the elonga¬ 
tion of the fore legs of the male of this and the preceding species, 
and in the unporrected mesosternum, they lead to 
DICRONOCEPHALUS *, Hope . 
Like Narycius, the sides and not the centre of the clypeus are 
here cornuted, and like Mycteristes proper, the fore legs of the 
males are greatly elongated with the tibise tridentate; the pronotum 
is broadest across the middle, but the terminal lobe of the maxillm 
is unarmed—affording the first approach to the following groups. 
The male only of the unique species composing this group is known, 
and is represented with its details in the first plate of this work 
(figure 4, 4 a —4 e). 
* This name was spelt Dicranocephalus in the Synopsis -of General ITardwicke’s Nepalese 
Coleoptera; but in the Coleopterist’s Manual (p. 116) it is correctly written Dicronocephalus, 
—a name given in allusion to the two sickle-like horns of the head, (Sty et Kpuviov.)
