The species as a rule are somewhat larger than those of the latter genus and have the lateral margins of the prothoras fairly well-developed. Bat the single species that occurs in India is smaller and narrower than the others and ha& no trace of a lateral margin to the prothorax. 53. Philus globulicollis, Tho7ns. Essai Classif.

Head, prothorax and base of elytra reddish-testaceous, the rest of the body and elytra yellowish-testaceous or fulvous in colour ; covered above with a very short pale tawny pubescence ; the underside sparsely pubescent. Head closely punctate. Antennae- about one-fifth longer than the body ; the joints from the third to the tenth acutely augulate at the apex on the anterior side, the third and fourth somewhat less acutely so than the others. Prothorax slightly transverse, subcylindrical, a little rounded at the middle of each side and without lateral margins ; the notum very closely punctured at the sides, somewhat less closely in the middle. Elyti-a densely punctured, much broader than the prothorax and three times as long as broad ; each with two very feebly raised dorsal lines. Hind femora and hind coxae with a channel and thick fringe of hairs beneath ; middle femora with a short channel and thick fringe of hairs near the base ; the front femora flattened or slightly concave beneath, with a sparse fringe of hairs at each side.
