Paraphyllum, gen, nov. 
Besembling Oxyphyllum , Hancock. Vertex viewed from 
above little wider than one of the eyes, depressed, viewed 
in profile not advanced beyond the eyes; frontal costa with 
the carinae not at all scutelliform but elongate-sulcate, 
gradually widened below, upward divided between the 
paired ocelli, in profile protuberant between the antennae; 
antennae very long filiform, inserted distinctly below the 
eyes, the distance between their points of insertion nearly 
equal to the space intervening to the eyes. Pronotum 
strongly and thinly compressed, foliaceous, margin viewed 
from above sinuous, crassate, but entire, summit in profile 
arcuate, roundly produced forward beyond the head, back¬ 
ward sinuate and acute produced beyond the hind femoral 
apices ; lateral lobes posteriorly bisinuate; body bearing 
elytra and wings. Anterior and middle femora elongate, 
margins entire ; posterior femoral margins entire ; first 
articles of posterior tarsi little longer than the third. The 
type is P. antennata described herewith. 
P. antennata , sp. nov. 
Body shining granulate, coloured ochreous, with dark 
radiating veins on sides of pronotum, variously marked 
with black, namely, with bands on the anterior and middle 
legs, mottled on hind femora below, black on the knees, 
wings, and under parts as well as the hind tibiae with the 
exception of light band near the knees. Eyes rather small 
and subglobose. Vertex little wider than one of the eyes, 
middle carinate, depressed, frontal carinulae transversely 
concave, in profile not produced beyond the eyes ; antennae 
very long, longer than the extended front legs. Pronotal 
crest highly elevated, strongly compressed, and thinly 
translucent, laterally traversed by a network of radi¬ 
ating veins, anteriorly roundly produced beyond the head, 
the projecting apex obtuse, the inferior border forward 
roundly excavate for the reception of the eyes ; in profile
