remainder, and the thickness generally of the antennae. The 

 genus is also very distinct in its coloration. 



En'isp'ia venosa. (PI. III. fig. 1.) 



E. fuscescens ; elytris linea siiturali, alteraque obliqua basali a

Hab. — Java. 



Clothed with numerous setaceous hairs ; head dark brown with 

 a greyish tomentum ; eyes large, pale brown ; mandibles black ; 

 palpi luteoiis ; prothorax nearly equal in length and breadth, dark 

 brown with a thin greyish pile, the apex and base outside the 

 transverse lines rufous ; scutellum triangular; elytra rather irre- 

 gularly punctured, chiefly at the base, chesnut-brown, from each 

 shoulder an oblique whitish line advancing directly to the suture, 

 and then continued along the sutural line into the large greyish 

 blotch which occupies the posterior third of the elytra, the portion 

 below the lines in the middle with a somewhat silvery pile ; body 

 beneath and legs luteous brown ; antennae dark brown, the bases 

 of the intermediate joints paler. 



Length 3 lines. 



Eb^ides. 



Caput antice latum, postice etiam prothorace latius, tuberibus 



antenniferis brevissimis. Oculi late emarginati, antice dis- 



tantes. Antennce corpora longiores, incrassatse, praesertim 



articuli intermedii, setosse ; scapo valde elongate, curvato, 



articulo tertio scapo crassiore. Prothorax parvus, sub- 



quadratus, lateribus muticus, antice et postice ssepe trans- 



versim impressus. Elytra brevia. Pedes breviusculi ; tibicB 



anticse curvatse ; tarsorum articulo ultimo elongato. Corpus 



setosum. 



The remarkable thickness of the antennae in this genus, especially 



of the third, fourth and fifth joints, attains its greatest development 



in E. monstrosa, but it is scarcely less so in the other species. I 



do not recollect any other Lamioid genus in which the scape is not 



the thickest of the antennal joints. On the other hand, the last 



joint is very small, and in three of the species, if the character be 



not a sexual one, disappears altogether, the tenth joint being 



then nearly as small as the eleventh is in the other species. The 



anterior tibiae are short and curiously bowed, and this is sometimes 



the case also with the intermediate and posterior, only in a less 



degree. xA.s usual in this sub-family tlie pubescence is very short 



and much thinner on, or very nearly absent from, the head and 



prothorax ; and the punctuation on those parts is scarcely visible,
