Longicnrnia Malayana. 83 



Pubescence dark brown, varied with whitish or greyish and 

 spotted with ochraceoiis ; head with glossy ovate tubercles in front, 

 mixed with ochraceous hairs, these form lines round the eyes and 

 on the vertex ; lip and epistome short ; mandibles glossy black ; 

 palpi pitchy ; prothorax irregularly timiid, transversely sulcated 

 near the base, and a little depressed at the apex, covered with a 

 thin ochraceous pile, mixed with irregular glossy tubercles ; scu- 

 tellum subtransverse, rounded behind ; elytra broad at the shoulder, 

 diminishing with a gently rounded outline to the apex, which is 

 strongly emarginate with the outer angle produced, the base with 

 several small glossy-black granules, on each elytron there are four 

 slightly elevated lines, the two outer and the two inner meeting 

 near the apex, the side with four or five light greyish or white 

 patches spotted with ochraceous, which by their union form a 

 large semicircular blotch with its convexity towards the suture, 

 another patch of light grey and ochraceous on each side the 

 scutellum, and a third common to both elytra behind, some- 

 times, also, other patches near the apex ; body beneath, legs and 

 antennas more or less thinly spotted with grey ; spine of the an- 

 terior coxae nearly as long as the femora. 



Length 12 lines ( ? 10 lines).

Abryna, Newman, The Entom. i. 289. 



Caput antice subtransversum, latissimum, medio carinatum, 



vertice elevato, tuberibus antenniferis distantibus. Ociili me- 



diocres, profunde emarginati. Antennce corpore vix longiores ; 



scapus modice clavatus, articulo tertio scapo longiore, caeteris 



gradatim brevioribus. Mandibulce magnae. Prothorax trans- 



versus, fortiter lateribus bidentatus. Elytra oblonga, apice 



truncata vel rotundala. Mesosternum elevatum, antice pro- 



ductura. Abdomen segmentis subaequalibus. Pedes robusti, 



antici longiores ; tarsi dilatati, articulo ultimo mediocri. 



Mr. Newman founded this genus on a Manilla longicorn, 



the Abryna ccenosa; to this he successively added four other 



species, which he referred to the same genus. Three of these I 



have since proposed to separate under the generic name of 



Aprophata (Journ. of Entom. i. 342), which, from their small 



humeral angles, seem to approach the Dorcadtonince, The Baron 



de Paiva has also published a fine Cambodian species under the 



name of Abryna Regis Petri^* and with those described below the 



• Descripfao de dois Insectos Coleopteros de Camboja, 1860. I protest 

 against double specific names, such as Niphona Regis Ferdinandi and Abryna
