84 Lonyicornla Malay ana, 



number of known species uill be raised to five. Of the two 

 recently publislied by Professor Westwood, one (^Ahryna Semperi, 

 Trans. Ent. Soc. ser. 2, i. G30) evidently belongs to Apropliala. 



Abnjna buccinator. 



A. fiisca, subnitida, pube grisea plagiata et irrorata ; prothorace 

 capite paulo angiistiori ; elytris apice truncatis. 



Hah. — Sumatra. 



Dark brown, almost inclining to olive, and somewhat glossy, 

 with a very sparse greyish pubescence, except where the spots and 

 patches occur ; head large and very broad, especially below the 

 eyes ; epistomu and lip elongatf, pale yellowish ; mandibles and 

 palpi pitchy ; prothorax rather narrower than the head (not 

 broader, as in A. Petri), subtransverse, with the pubescence much 

 scattered, the upper tooth forming more of an angle from the side 

 (less of a tubercle than in A. Petri); scuiellum rounded behind; 

 elytra rather irregularly punctured, the pubescence condensed on 

 parts to form spots and patches, the former are scattered in the 

 intervals of the patches ; these, as in the other species, form two 

 irregular bands, interrupted, however, at the suture, and a few 

 confluent somewhat indefinite blotches towards the apex, there is 

 also a still more indefinite condensation at the base, the apex 

 triuicate ; body btneath with a thin ochraceous- greyish pile, 

 especially on the abdomen ; legs spotted with greyish ; antennae, 

 except at the base, almost glabrous. 



Length 1 1 lines. 



Jbnjnu rtibcia. 



A, fusca, subnitida; elytris fasciis duabns rufo-griseo-pubes- 

 centibus ornatis, apice rotundatis. 



fiab. — Sarawak. 



Dark brown, subnitid, pubescence mostly in patches; head 

 with rather a coarse but thinnish grey pile ; lip and epistome 

 short, covered with grey hairs; mandibles black; palpi dark 

 brown ; prothorax about the breadth of the head, subtransverse, 

 covered with a dull greyish pde ; scutellum small, rounded 

 beliiml ; elytra irregularly punctured, generally two or three pale 

 hairs at the bottom of each puncture, with two broad wavy bands 



Regis Petri. It seems to me that any such invasion of the binomial system of 

 nomenclature should be resisted, and the names be either ignored altogether, or 

 modified by limitation to the least objectionable of the two words intended to 

 form the specific name.
