Trachystola granulata. 



T. nigi-a, tota pube fnsco-ferruginea induta; elytris seriato-granulatis, 

 seriebus duabus regione scutellari abbreviatis. 



Hah. Borneo. 



Black, opake, everywhere covered with a short, dense, brownish-fer- 

 ruginous pubescence; head neither punctured nor sulcated in front; 

 prothorax transversely channeled anteriorly, five flattish tubercles on 



the disc, arranged ]-|, a stout spine at the side; scutelluni transversely 



subcordate ; elytra a little depressed on the basal two-thirds of their 

 length, rapidly sloping beyond to the apex, on each nine rows of shining- 

 black granules, the inner row distant from the sutiu'e, and its gi-anules 

 oblong or ahuost linear, near the scuteUum six granules in pairs, the 

 second row of gi'auiUes fi'om the sutiu'e extending to half the length 

 of the elj-tra, space between the suture and inner row with two iiTe- 

 giilar lines of impressed pimctures, nearly all the granules with a deep 

 puncture behind. Length 11 lines. 



This species diiFers from a Java congener in the British Museum, 

 labelled Traclujstola scahripennis (Dej.), in the smaUer punctures 

 along the sutural margin, in the second row of granules extending 

 to at least half the length of the elytra, instead of only a quarter, 

 and the double row near the scuteUum, whilst there are only two or 

 three altogether in T. scahripennis. A third species from Borneo, 

 also closely allied, is in the same museum. 



BRnitrs [Lamiidse]. 



Head nearly as broad as the prothorax, quadrate in front. Antennae 

 longer than the body, setaceous, arising from short tubercles, distant at 

 the base, the first joint massive, subcylindrical, the third as long as the 

 first, the rest subequal. Eyes lateral, widely emarginate. Palpi 



• slender, the terminal joint ovate. Prothorax subquadrate, sti-ongly 

 spined at the side. Elytra connate, tapering towards the apex in the 

 male, ovate in the female, the base spined. Legs moderately long, 

 anterior and intermediate coxte remote, femora subclavate, tibiae spined, 

 tarsi short. Prosternum simple, mesostemum tnmcate posteriorly. 



Proposed for the reception of Dorcadion ? spinipenne (Trans. Ent. 

 Roc. 2 scr. iv. p. 252), which I described from a female specimen in 

 the collection of W. W. Saunders, Esq. There are now five examples 

 in the British Museum, and from one of them, a male, I have drawn 

 up the above characters. Brimus differs from Dorcadion (to which 

 I doubtfully referred it) in the presence of antennary tubercles and 

 the greater length of the mesothorax, so that the anterior and middle 

 coxa? (as well also the posterior) are separated from each other by a 

 considerable interval, not crowded together so as to be almost in con-
