Longicornia Malayana. 47 



Femora vix clavata ; tarsi validi, subelongati. Corims 



setosum. 

 This is one of the very few genera of Lamiidce, the only one, 

 so far as I know, in this sub-family, having securiform palpi ;* in 

 other respects it is allied to Gyaritus, except that the antennae are 

 more slender, and the joints are not swollen at their tips. A single 

 specimen was found by Mr. Wallace under a fallen tree. 



Axinyllium tarium. (PI. III. fig. 8.) 



A. castaneum ; elytris fasciis duabus maculariformibus albis 

 ornatis. 



Hab. — Sarawak. 



Reddish-chesnut; head coarsely punctured ; eyes large, black ; 

 mandibles black at the tip ; prothorax narrower than the head, 

 much longer than broad, covered with coarse scattered punctures, 

 the sides scarcely rounded, with a small well-marked spine nearly 

 in the middle, and two long and moderately recurved spines on 

 the disk ; scutellum broadly triangular ; elytra narrowly oblong, 

 a short triangular spine at the base of each, with large impressed 

 punctures arranged in lines, before the middle a broad band of 

 whitish spots more or less connected, and posteriorly several 

 patches or spots of the same colour ; body beneath testaceous 

 brown ; legs and antennae reddish-brown. 



Length 2 lines. 



Emeopedus. 

 Caput parvum. Oculi majusculi. Antennce basi remotae, scapo 

 elongato, cylindrico, articulo secundo elongato, tertio 

 longissimo, sequentibus gradatim brevioribus, Prothorax 

 inermis, utrinque subrotundatus. Elytra oblonga, regularia, 

 apice rotundata. Femora modice clavata ; tarsi postici 

 articulo basali duobus sequentibus simul sumtis breviore. 

 The members of this genus have the look of the smaller species 

 of Leiopiis, differing however from that group {inter alia) in the 

 unarmed prothorax, and the short basal joint of the posterior tarsi. 

 The third species I have added with some slight hesitation, as it 

 has a considerably shorter scape, a consideration of some im- 

 portance in the classification of these mostly commonplace little 

 animals. They have all, however, the second joint unusually 

 long. 



• In Phantaus, Thorns., one of the African DorcadionincE, the palpi vary from 

 obtusely ovate to securiform.
