LONGICORX COLEOPTERA EHO.M SIAIATRA 89 



long as the body; l"* joint davate, rather short; ^""'^ sliorter than 

 4*^ and sulvequal to 5*^'; ()'^ to 11*^ gradually .duninishing in 

 length. Prothorax iinarnied at the sides. Elytra obliquely truncate 

 at the apex, and produced ol)li(|uely at the outer angles. Pro- 

 sternum feebly raised, l)r()adly expanded l)ehind. Femora fusiform 

 davate, and rather short. 



This genus is allied to Sybra , differing i)rin(;ipally in the 

 structure of the head , the latter having a rounded appearance 

 in front due to the fact that the eyes and antennal supports are 

 not raised above the level of the other parts.

This species, in its colour, shape and sculpture, somewhat re- 

 sembles some of the larger species of Sybra, but may be readily 

 distinguished from them by its rounded fore-head, and the strong, 

 obliquely projecting outer angles at the apex of its elytra.
