Show 1866.] MR. F. P. PASCOE O N T H E COLEOPTERA O F PENANG. 521 racterized, inter alia, by the clypeus or lowermost part of the face being produced so as to form a kind of pedicel for the lip. CLYTINJE. CLYTANTHUS. Clytanthus, J. Thomson, Syst. Ceramb. p. 190. Anthoboscus, Chevrolat. CLYTANTHUS ANNULARIS. Callidium annulare, Fabricius, Mant. Ins. i. p. 156; Olivier, Entom. iv. no. 70. p. 48, pi. 7. f. 74. This species ranges from India and South China to Sydney. It is the type of M . Chevrolat's genus Chlorophorus, which, according to its author, only differs from the present in its more slender antennae and very globose prothorax. Another species in the collection is allied to Clytanthus glaucinus, Bois. (Perissus, Chev.), and a third species to C. sumatrensis, Lap. et Gory. A new genus, of which I have four or five species, is also represented in the collection, XYLOTRECHUS. Xylotrechus, Chevrolat, Ann. Soc. Ent. de France, 1860, p. 456. XYLOTRECHUS AUSTRALIS. Clylus australis, Laporte de Castelnau et Gory, Monog. du G. Clytus, p. 99, pi. 19. f. 118. This species is also very widely distributed. I have specimens from Sumatra, Borneo, Celebes, Amboyna, Aru, and N e w Guinea; *% latterly I have received it from Queensland. DEMONAX. Demonax, J. Thomson, Essai, &c, p. 226 ; Syst. Ceramb. p. 191, sub Acrocyrta. DEMONAX MACILENTA. Acrocyrta macilenta, Chevrolat, Rev. et Mag. de Zool. p. 82. M. Chevrolat places this species, together with several others, in my genus Acrocyrta; and, in his ' Systema,' M . Thomson sinks Demonax as a synonym of it. I am not prepared at present to adopt this view, as I think Acrocyrta, in the short broad basal joint of the anterior tarsi, long antennae, with the terminal hook in the males, and the short elytra, is sufficiently distinct. M. Chevrolat, in his " Clytides d'Asie," & c , published in the ' Memoirs' of the Liege Society, misquotes the volume and page of the work in which my description was published, and makes me write Apocyrta. Another and much smaller species is in the collection. PROC. ZOOL. Soc-1866, No. XXXIV. |
