Fig. 102.— Clyiellus olcsteroidcs, Pasc. distinguish this genus from all the other genera of the Cerani- bycidae). lutercoxal process of prosternum narrow, prolonged and feebly dilated posteriorly, the epimera extended inwards to meet it. 385. Clytellus olesteroides, Pasco^, A. M. N. H. (5) xv, p. 56 (1885) Black ; the head, prothorax, and the disc of the elytra near the base somewhat opaque, the rest of the elytra and the legs more or less glossy; front of head, sides of prothorax, apex of elytra and the body beneath covered with a somewhat silvery-grey pubescence. Antennae nearly as long as the body ; third joint shorter than the first or fourth and less than twice as long as the second, fifth slightly longer than the fourth ; sixth to eleventh gradually and slightly thicker, and faintly covered with grey pubescence. Prothorax im- punctate, furnished above with a narrow median carina. Scu- tellum grey. Elytra sparsely punctured in rows from the base to the submedian depi'es- sion, the latter sparsely covered with rather thick, ashy-white setae; disc of each slightly raised near the base and furnished with a feeble median crest. Femora cariuate along each side, the club narrowed a little before the apex, widened again towards the ventral side at the apex. First segment of abdomen nearly as long as the remaining segments united. Length ok-Qh ; hreadtli 1^ mm. Hah. Andaman Islands, From its ant-like form, the close approximation of the antennae at the base and the very small, sub-approximate, tarsal claws, there will be little difficulty in recognizing this interesting little species. Group CLEOMENINI. Head raised at the sides and flat or slightly concave in the middle between the antennae. Eyes finely facetted, emargiuate, not prominent. Antennae shorter than the body in $ , shorter or a little longer than the body in S • Prothorax usually longer than broad, unarmed at the side
