End e a nodicornis , n. sp. (ƒ. 



Length I7V2 Dim. — Strongly resembling E. nigritarsis 

 Pascoe ') of which T have a male specimen before me ^), 

 but differing from it in the following characteristics: the 

 new species is somewhat broader; its S'"'^ antennal joint is 

 slightly longer, more slender, more distinctly incurvate 

 and covered all over with a pubescence of a pale ochra- 

 ceous colour ^) ; the 4*^ joint is more strongly swollen at 

 the tip, and the 5"^ joint is thicker and consequently more 

 strongly contrasting with the G^h ; the prothorax becomes 

 broader towards the base, and the scutellum is strongly 

 transverse; finally the two basal joints of the tarsi do not 

 show a black but an ochraceous pubescence. Each elytron 

 is faintly notched at the end in an oblique direction which 

 gives the apex of the elytra the appearance of being slightly 

 prolonged at the suture. 



Hah. Amboyna (Ludeking). — A single male specimen 

 in the collection of the Leyden Museum. 



Ley den Museum, December 1891. 



1) Longicornia malayana, p. 150. 



2) It may be said here that the pubescence of this specimen , which measu- 

 res 15 mm. in length, is very pale ochraceous approaching to grey, and that 

 the derm of the antennae and legs has a dark blue metallic hue. It origina- 

 tes, like the type, from Amboyna (Ludeking). 



3) In nigritarsis Pascoe the colour of the pubescence on the hasal two thirds 

 of this joint is grey, on the apical third it is black.
