ound lamellated joints are, I believe, the first noticed amongst
Phyllophagous Coleoptera.

Biphyllocera kirbyana, sp. n. Illustration 19 Insects 2 Figure 1 a and
b.)

Piceo-brunnea, subtus piloso-fulvescens, thoracis margine flavescente,
dorso, hirtello; elytris 9 (saltem) lineis longitudinalibus impressis,
interstitiis transverse substriolatis quasi squamulatis.

Shining, more especially on the head and clypeus, the crown of the head
very smooth, the space between the eyes with impressed punctures, the
clypeus slightly notched in front; antennae pale-ferruginous; thorax with
short rust-coloured hairs, and the lateral margin slightly reflexed and
paler than the dorsal part, which is covered with short striolae, giving
a squamulate appearance to it; when narrowly examined, just above the
rather large and bluntish scutellum, there are some distinct scattered
punctures; thorax beneath covered with fulvous hairs.

There are two more or less injured specimens of this species in the
collection of the British Museum. In the same collection, from the same
locality, are two specimens of what I regarded as the females of the B.
kirbyana; they are larger and of a pale brown; one of these is figured in
the accompanying wood-cut figure 2. In the lamellae of the antennae of
the two specimens there is considerable difference, so that probably
there may be a second species of Biphyllocera. I have given it the name
of B. fabriciana.
