Genus Cillaeus LAPORTE, 1835 Paracillaeopsis subgen. n. Species included - Type-species: Cillaeus obscurus LAPORTE, 1835; other species: C. (P.) basal is (GROUVELLE, 1899) ; C. (P.) confus us GROUVELLE, 1913; C. (P.) conradti GROUVELLE, 1899; C. (P.) contractus GROUVELLE, 1894; C. (P.) fauveli GROUVELLE, 1894; C. (P.) filiformis LAPORTE, 1835; C. (P.) gaboensis GROUVELLE, 1894; C. (R) longipennis (MURRAY, 1864) ; C. (7>J maynei (GROUVELLE, 1914), comb. n.; C. (P.) opaculus GROUVELLE, 1913; C. (P.) prolixus FAIRMAIRE, 1880; C. (P.) reticulatus GROUVELLE, 1899. Diagnosis-Except the distinguishing characters listed in the above key, this new subgenus differs from members of the nominative subgenus in usually markedly more slender body, distinctly ciliate pronotal and elytral sides, usually finer and much denser punctation, less raised longitudinal rows of markedly smaller punctures on elytra with a trend to diasapper. At the same time the members of this new subgenus can be divided into some groups differing in shape of legs and punctation of dorsum, which can obtain a subgeneric or generic rank, although for this decision a further comparative study would be very advisable. Notes - This subgenus is represented by the forms many times described earlier as Cillaeus. Cillaeus gaboensis was erroneously transmitted by GROUVELLE ( 1899) to the genus Brachypeplus and Cillaeus (Paracillaeopsis) maynei, comb. n. was originally placed among Cillaeopsis. Etymology -The name of this new genus is formed from the Greek prefix "para" (near, close, about) and generic name "Cillaeopsis". Grouvellepeplus gen. n. Species included - Type-species: Brachypeplus (Liparopeplus) acuminatum GROUVELLE, 1919; other species: G. endroedyi sp. n. Diagnosis - This genus is quite distinct due to the following combination of charactes: body elongate oval, dorsum evenly convex and glabrous, entire labrum (undivided) with a median prominence, hexogonal pronotum with widely subexplanate sides and rounded anterior and posterior corners, elytra twice longer than pronotum, elytra subcostate and with striate punctation, epipleura rather nar-
