globoso, antennis luteis capitatis corpore brevioribus clava nigra, 

 abdomine fusiformi, pedibus luteis, alis pallide cinereis. 



Female. Black, slender, smooth, shining. Head globose, as 

 broad as the thorax. Antennae luteous, capitate, shorter than the 

 body; three apical joints black, thick. Thorax and abdomen 

 fusiform. Legs luteous. Wings pale cinereous. Length of the

 to any other of the British Diaprice. 



XLVII. — Descriptions of two Coleopterous Insects from Cambogia. 

 By the Barao do Castello de Paiva, Professor of Botany 

 in the Academia Polytechnica of Oporto, &c. 



The two insects which I describe below have been lately for- 

 warded to me from London by my friend T. Vernon Wollaston, 

 Esq., to whom I am indebted for many favours. 



Ordo COLEOPTERA. 



Fam. Cerambycidae. 



Genus Abryna, Newman (1842). 



Abryna Regis-Petri, Paiva. 



A. nigra, albo irrorata et picta; prothorace transverso, ad latera 

 versus angulos anticos bituberculato (vix spinoso) ; elytris pune- 

 tulis albidis undique irroratis, necnon •fasciis duabus transversis 

 albidis (una sc. antemedia et altera postmedia), in dorso inter- 

 ruptis fractis, ornatis ; tarsis magnis, latissimis. 



Long. corp. lin. 12-13. 



Habitat in Cambogia, ad Europam pauca specimina nuperrime missa. 



Regi fidelissimo Petro V ., Portugaliae Regum primo rerum natura- 

 lium studioso scrutatori et scientiarum protectori indefesso, hanc 

 pulchram Abrynam, et certe novam, ob affabilitatis obsequium 

 mihi semper concessum, lseto corde sponte dedicavi. 



A. magna, lata, subcylindrica sed postice leviter et facile angustior, 

 sat dense punctata, nigra et pilis robustis brevibus demissis (aut 

 potius squamulis) nigris et albidis undique variegata. Caput 

 magnum, latum, denexum, fronte deplanata in medio inter oculos 

 carinata (carina calva, antice et postice evanescente, postice in cana- 

 liculam ducta), sat remote punctatum ; labro (sed praesertim cly- 

 peo) dilutiore subflavescente, instrumentis cibariis nigris. Pro- 

 thorax transversus, antice et postice constrictus, ad latera inaequalis 

 et intra angulum anticum tuberculo calvo utrinque instructus, 

 angulo antico ipso in spinam tuberculiformam producto, sparse 

 punctatus, in medio longitudinaliter leviter canaliculars (canali- 

 cula in disco obsoleta). Elytra laetius et distinctius picta, punctis 

 rotundatis albidis undique irrorata, necnon fasciis duabus trans- 

 versis dentatis albidis (una mox ante medium et altera mox pone
