36 Longicornia Malayana. 



sternum, and the more than usually broad outline, are the prin- 

 cipal characters of this genus. In consequence of the elongation 

 of the metasternum, the posterior legs are so far removed from 

 the intermediate that the femora, although comparatively short, 

 extend nearly to the extremity of the elytra, especially in the 

 males. Tlie anterior acetabvda are slightly angulated externally. 



Ipochira perlata. (PI. II. fig. 4.) 



I. obscure fusca, cinereo-varia, guttis albis dispersa ; antennis 

 annulatis. 



Hab. — Gilolo, Batchian, Morty, Ceram. 



Dark brown, with numerous setose hairs, and closely covered 

 with a pile of dull brown, varied with a little ashy and a few white 

 spots. Head mostly ashy grey, eyes small ; mandibles black ; 

 palpi luteous ; prothorax much broader than the head, ovate- 

 oblong, the sides strongly rounded, and furnished behind the 

 middle with a short slender spine, posterior to which is a large 

 white patch, the disc also with a few obscure ashy spots ; scu- 

 tellum subscutiform, rounded behind ; elytra broadest at the base, 

 where it considerably exceeds the prothorax, gradually diminish- 

 ing towards the apex, the sides slightly rounded, the disk speckled 

 with ashy and spotted with white, the largest spot at the side 

 before the middle, two in a line towards the apex and nearer the 

 suture, and one outside the anterior of the two ; body beneath 

 ashy, the abdomen and legs dark brown, thinly pubescent, the 

 ])osterior tibiae whitish, the extremity and tarsi black ; antennre 

 scarcely half as long again as the body, dull ashy, the apices of 

 the intermediate joints passing into brown, the scape slightly 

 tinged with rufous. 



Length 4 — 5 lines. 



There is some variation in size and in form and number of spots 

 in my specimens, but nothing sufficiently decisive to warrant their 

 separation. 



Myromeus. 



Caput parvum, fronte convexo. Oculi mediocres. Antenna: 



modice elongatae ; scapo cylindrico ; articulo tertio quarto 



brcviore, ciuteris dccrescentibus. Prothorax quadratus, spina 



submediana utrinque armatus. Elytra oblonga. Femora 



subclavata ; tarsi oinncs triangulares. Corpus setosum. 



There are no salient characters in this genus; nevertheless I 



have been unable to refer the solitary species it contains to any 



other, nor does it seem to have any very near ally ; but the form 



of the scape, the position of the lateral spine, the presence of
