The groove bonnJing the raised basal margin of the elytra is deeper aromul 

 the shoulder angle than in cinerascem ; the pnnctnres on the disc are rather larger, 

 and the discal interspaces are without any distinct row of jjunctures. The elaw- 

 segmeut of the foretarsns, which is pilose beneath in the 6 of cinerasceiis, is much 

 less hairy in (nimtUpi'S. 



Several pairs from Mt. Kina Bala, Sarawak and Poutianak. 



5. Mecotropis icanus spec. nov. 



(??. Differs from all the other known species in the structure of the 

 rostrum. 



Black, pubescent tawu)'-olivaceous above, the head, pronotum and elytra 

 variegated with white, the elytra especially before the middle and at the ajiex, 

 the declivous area being white for the greater part. Rostrum as long as it is 

 apically broad, with a deep mesial sulcus, which is continued on the frons, being 

 deepest and widest between the eyes ; antcnnal groove large, almost reaching tlie 

 eye, its upper margin elevate, forming a prominent carina which is continued 

 to the eye, being higher than in the nearest allied species, M. coclcstis Jord. (lf>'J.s); 

 on underside the genal groove (below eye) is continuous with the ventral groove 

 situated behind the false mentum. Eye coarsely granulose, entire, with a very 

 shallow emargination. Antenna of S long, segment 1 strongly asymmetrical, 

 10 aljont half the length of 11, three times as long as broad, 9 three times as 

 long as 11 . 



Protliorax broader than long, convex, almost as wide behind the apical 

 constriction as at the dorsal carina, longitudinally depressed above, with the 

 centre raised transversely ; dorsal carina nearly straight ; the white markings 

 rather sharply defined, connected with one another in centre of the pronotum, the 

 base tawny-olivaceous for the greater part. 



Scntellum snbqnadrangnlar, widest behind. Elytra cylindrical, hardly at all 

 depressed at the suture, with the exception of the declivous apex ; elevate basal 

 edge suddenly narrowed at humeral callosity ; the seriated punctures small, the 

 rows very slightly imjjressed. 



Underside tawny-olivaceous, with diffuse whitish spots, which are most 

 numerous on the abdomen, i'rosternite with sliarjily marked 3-shaped groove 

 before the coxae. Process of mesosternum broader than in .1/. coelestis Jord. 

 (Is98). Femora and tibiae olivaceous, the tibiae white before the black apex; 

 tarsi black, first segment white excepting the ajies, base of second also white, 

 first foretarsal segment half ( (J) or one-third (?) the length of the foretibia, first 

 hindtarsal in both sexes very little longer than the claw-segment. 



Length (exclusive of head) II to 12 mm. 



One pair labelled Malacca. 



0. Xenocerus callimus spec. nov. 



i. Tliird segment of antenna twice as long as first. Black above, with the 

 markings buff. Head with the usual three stripes well marked. Prothorax 

 widest jnst in front of the dorsal carina, the latter evenly curved ; three vittae, 

 of which tlie median one is twice the width of the others. Elytra : a broad 

 sutural stri|ie which extends from the base to beyond the middle and occujiies 

 a little over two interspaces on each elytron, posteriorly it curves obliijuely
