PASCOE ON THE COLEOPTERA OF PENANG. 533 closely punctured, the intervals at the base thrown into transverse granulous folds, each puncture with a whitish hair at the base, apex rounded; body beneath glossy brown, paler on the abdomen; legs reddish ferruginous, shining, clothed with a few long whitish hairs, especially on the tibiae and tarsi; antennae ferruginous, much longer than the body, the basal joint paler, shining, punctured, all clothed with loose scattered hairs. Length 5| lines. This is one of a number of undescribed species allied to Ceresium, which it will be necessary to separate when they are worked up. It differs from the true Ceresia in the short broad face, and long third joint of the antennae. It is also a native of Borneo. PuRPURICENINiE. PURPURICENUS. Purpuricenus, Serville, Ann. Soc.

The genus, with which Mr. White's Cyclodera appears to m e to be identical, is found all over the world. EURYPHAGUS. Euryphagus, J. Thomson, Syst. Ceramb. p. 700.

The latter is bright red, with the posterior portion of the elytra black ; the prothorax has sometimes a large black spot on the centre of the disk.

There is no apparent difference in the numerous examples I have seen of this magnificent species from Singapore and Sarawak, where itwas originally taken by Mr. Wallace. The male has the large head and mandibles characterizing the preceding species. Euryclea has |
