and Species of Longicorn Coleoptera. 55 



Pachijpexa simplex. 



P. sub-linearis, fusco-brunnea, punctata ; elytiis singulis vitta 

 grisea obliqua ornatis ; antennis simplicibus. 



Para. 



Narrow, the sides nearly parallel, except at the shoulder, mode- 

 rately punctured ; prothorax quadrate ; elytra with one long 

 oblique pale greyish stripe, extending from the slioulder to the 

 suture near the apex ; antennae not hairy, the third, fourth and 

 fifth joints nearly equal. 



Length 5 lines. 



The antennee are rather more distant at the base than in 

 P. pennicornis, Germ., to which it is allied. 



EsMIA. 



Head short in front ; eyes lateral, slightly emarginate ; palpi 

 unequal, slender, the terminal joint pointed ; antennae approxi- 

 mate, longer than the body, the first four joints very hairy and 

 much longer than the rest together ; prothorax unarmed, elongate, 

 narrow, the sides nearly parallel ; elytra moderate, wider than 

 the thorax, rounded at the apex ; legs moderate, with the three 

 first tarsal joints short; mesosternum bilobed posteriorly. 



PacJiypeza, the nearest ally of this genus, differs in its shorter 

 (comparatively) and very robust legs, and in the antennae, which 

 are of the normal character ; the eyes, too, are larger and more 

 frontal, and the head much deeper. In the species now to be 

 described, the first four joints of the antennae are twice the length 

 of the remainder. 



Esmia turhata. (PI. II. fig. 8.) 

 E. fusca, hirsutula, maculis elongatis, citrinis ornata ; anten- 

 narum articulo quarto fulvo-annulatis ; corpore infra, pedi- 

 busque pallidis. 

 Para. 



Pubescent, brown, with long scattered hairs and various elongate 

 spots of a pale lemon yellow on the upper surface, especially a 

 line from the vertex over the prothorax and along the suture, 

 interrupted in the middle of the elytra, and terminating in a patch 

 of the same colour at the apex ; upper part of the fourth antennal 

 joint, tarsi, face, cheeks and under surface pale yellowish. 

 Length 4 lines.
