88 Longicornia Malayana. 



gradually rounded to the apex, which is sinuately emarginate, at 

 the middle on each elytron but nearly approaching the suture 

 a curved glabrous line, at the side behind and again near the apex 

 two others but less defined (these are probably due to abrasion, 

 those parts of the elytra being elevated and therefore more 

 exposed) ; body beneath with a thin whitish pile, the abdominal 

 segments margined with ochraceous ; antennae and legs pitchy- 

 brown, with very distinct white spots composed of short closely- 

 set hairs. 



Length 8 lines. 



Daxaxa. 



Caput validum, antice quadratum, tuberibus antenniferis apice 



productis, basi approximatis. Oculi parvi, profunde emarginati. 



Antenncs corpore longiores, robustae, cih'atae ; scapo incrassato, 



pyiiformi, articulo tertio scapo magis longiore, quarto tertio 



breviore, caeteris subsequalibus. Protliorax transversus, 



lateribus muticus, linea transversa ante medium impressa. 



Elytra brevia, lata, subparallela, basi singulorum tuberculata. 



Pedes robusti, tarsi perbreves. Mesosternum antice ro- 



tundatum. 



In this very distinct genus the lower lip is large and cordiform, 



and fringed with long yellowish hairs. The scape is unusually 



thick, the fore tibiae are enlarged at the extremity, and the tarsi, 



especially the anterior, are very short. The genus does not 



appear to have any near ally.

 thorax, covered, except on the vertex, with a fulvous and whitish 

 pile ; epistome and lip pale yellow ; mandibles and palpi pitchy- 

 brown, shining ; prothorax rather broader than long, the sides a 

 little rounded, the disc somewhat irregular, with two transverse 

 sulcations ; scutellum obtuse behind ; elytra much wider than the 

 prothorax, short and broad, and abruptly rounded at the apex, at 

 the base of each a large elevated conical protuberance ; body
