492 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some 
elytra subparallel, flattish, not broader than the middle of the 
prothorax, posteriorly bordering the suture areolate; prosternum 
raised, truncate, and pointed behind. 
This species has the facies and peculiar pubescence of 
Taurotagus Klugii, but the characters are more in accord 
with Neocerambyx. The whole subfamily are, as Lacor- 
daire observes, ‘‘ rebels to classification.” 
Zamium crocatum. 
Z. angustum, depressum, omnino nitide fulvum, breviter 
pilosum ; prothorace obsolete quadri-tuberculato ; elytris parallelis, 
irregulariter subtiliter punctatis. Long. 6 lin. 
Hab. Natal. 
Narrow and depressed, everywhere glossy fulvous, with short 
inconspicuous hairs; head and prothorax finely but not closely 
punctured, the latter with four very faintly-marked tubercles, the 
base fringed with short greyish hairs; scutellum small, scutiform ; 
lytra parallel, finely and irregularly punctured ; abdomen covered 
with long golden hairs. 
The coloration and narrower outline will at once dis- 
tinguish this species. 
Xystrocera promecoides. 
X, angusta, cyanea, subnitida, antennis nigris ; elytris confertim 
punctatis, pedibus tenuatis; femoribus clavatis, vix compressis. 
Long. 6 lin. 
Hab. Malacca (Patani). 
Narrow, dark blue, somewhat glossy, head and prothorax lighter, 
the latter subtransverse, slightly bicallous on each side; antenn 
black, setose beneath; scutellum inconspicuous; elytra not broader 
than the prothorax, very closely and minutely punctured, the apex 
entire ; legs slender, purplish; hind femora scarcely compressed, 
slightly extending beyond the body; body beneath brilliant blue ; 
propectus closely punctured. 
Allied to X. alcyonea, but, inter alia, its very slender 
legs will at once distinguish it. It has a marked resem- 
blance to certain species of Promeces.
