and Species of Longicorn Coleoptera. Ill 



NoEMIA. 



Head moderate, gibbous between the eyes ; antennae long, ap- 

 proximate at their base, inserted below the eyes, which are rounded 

 and entire ; labial palpi small, the maxillary with the last joint 

 longer and ovate. Thorax narrow, acuminate at the sides. 

 Elytra nearly linear, rounded at the apex. Legs moderate, the 

 tarsi short. 



The insertion of the antennae below the eyes is a peculiarity 

 among the Longicorns, so far as I am aware, confined to this 

 genus ; it is otherwise very nearly allied to Stenoderus. 



Noemia Jlavicornis. (PI. XXII. fig. 8.) 

 N. cyanea ; labro, palpis, femoribus basi, tarsis antennisque 



flavis. Malacca. 

 Deep indigo blue, with sparingly scattered hairs ; labrum, palpi, 

 thighs as the base, tarsi and antennae yellow ; elytra punctate 

 striate, with a slight violet reflection at the sides. 

 Length 7 lines. 



In some specimens the antennae are furnished beneath with 

 long silky hairs, arranged in a single row. 



Noemia Slevensii, 

 N. viridis ; proihorace nitida ; elytris testaceo-brunneis apice 

 marginibusque nigris ; antennis, palpis, tibiis tarsisque flavis, 

 femoribus nigris, basi flavis. Borneo. 

 Head and thorax shining green ; elytra punctate striate, light 

 testaceous brown, the apex and margins, but not extending to 

 the shoulders, black ; antennae, palpi and legs yellow, the thighs 

 only at the base, the remainder being black ; under surface green, 

 shining. 



Length 7 lines. 



I have dedicated this species to Samuel Stevens, Esq., F. L. S. 

 &c., to whom I am indebted for many facilities in examining Mr. 

 Wallace's and other collections, and by whom my cabinet has 

 been enriched by many rare insects. 



Note. — The genus Deuteromma should be placed near Noserius. 

 The second species alluded to above {ante, p. 98) may be thus 

 temporarily characterized : — 



Deuteromma testacea. 

 D. pallide- testacea ; antennarum articulis primo et secundo 



oculisque brunneis. Borneo, 

 Length 41 lines.
