Longicornia Malayana. 85 



— one before, the other behind the nniddle — composed of densely- 

 set reddish-grey hairs, between the two bands and behind the 

 second several scattered spots of the same character, the apex 

 rounded ; body beneath covered with grey hairs, except the 

 middle of each abdominal segment ; legs with a yellowish-grey 

 pubescence, especially the posterior and intermediate tibiae ; 

 antennae dark brown, nearly glabrous. 



Length 10 lines. 



In coloration this species approaches A. coenoxa, from which it 

 will be at once distinguished by the rounded apex of the elytra, 



McECHOTYPA. 



Mcechotypa, J. Thorns., Syst. Ceramb. p. 55. 



Caput antice quadratum, tuberibus antenniferis validis, basi 

 approximatis. Ocull profunde emarginati. Antennae maribus 

 corpore longiores, focminis breviores ; scapo brevi vel pyri- 

 formi vel subcylindrico, articulo tertio scapo dupio vel triplo 

 longiore, caeteris plus minusve gradatim dccrescentibus. 

 Prothorax subtransversus, irregulariter tuberculatus, lineis 

 duabus transversis impressus. Elytra oblonga, basi cristata 

 vel subcristata, apice rotundata. Pedes validi, modice elon- 

 gati : tihi(e anticae subcurvatae, tarsi dilatati, in maribus fim- 

 briate Prosternum elevatum, antice perpendiculare. 

 The species of this genus are more robust than Niphona and 

 differ in several important particulars, especially in the prosternum 

 having its anterior portion perpendicular. Niphuna thoracica, Wh., 

 and Niphona suffusa, Pasc, must be referred to it, although the 

 former differs in its somewhat cylindrical scape ; it is also pecu- 

 liar for a singular wedge-shaped cleft in the prothorax. Mcechotypa 

 suffusa (with which M. arida, Thorns. 1. c, is probably identical) 

 has three beautiful rose-coloured lines on each elytron, the under 

 parts are also tinged with the same colour, and the two basal 

 joints of the anterior tarsi have a pinkish hue. 



Mcechotypa marmorea. 



M, fusca ; elytris quasi albo-reticulatis ; tarsis anticis nigris. 



Hah. — Sarawak. 



Pile short and closely set on a jet-black derm ; head reddish- 

 grey, median line deeply impressed, mandibles and palpi black ; 

 prothorax reddish-grey, with a posterior central and two lateral 

 lines, and the base at the sides dark brown ; scutellum transverse, 

 rounded behind, dark brown, except a narrow strip on each side ;
