Lonyicornia Malayana. 91 



in a slightly rounded outline to the apex, at about a fifth of the 

 length of the elytra from the base a narrow but very distinct 

 curved line of white hairs, reflected obliquely backwards on each 

 side and again bent forwards and crossing the curved line towards 

 the shoulder but not extending to it, behind the middle there is 

 another but very indistinct flexuous line; body beneath dusky 

 brown ; legs brown, varied with greyish ; antennae brown, the 

 joints from the third to the tenth inclusive grey at the base. 

 Length 6 lines. 



Dryusa.

 tenince maribus corpora fere duplo longiores, crinitse ; scapo 

 subelongato, sensim incrassato, articulo tertio scapo breviore, 

 quarto tertio fere duplo longiore, caeteris aequalibus (ultimo 

 excepto) magis brevioribus, ultimo elongato. Prothorax fere 

 aequalis, lateribus muticus, postice linea transversim impressa. 

 Elytra oblonga, lateribus apicem versus subrotundata et 

 sensim angustiora. Prosternum elevatum ; mesosternum ro- 

 tundatum. Pedes mediocres ; tarsi aequales. Corpus crinitum. 



I have already pointed out the distinction between this genus 

 and the last. I may add, that the shorter elytra of Mispila, and 

 therefore of its abdomen, give a backward position to the hind 

 legs that completely alters its habit as contrasted with Dryusa. 

 The species described below are perfectly homogeneous in their 

 appearance. They are all covered with a greyish pile, and suffi- 

 ciently sparse to allow the derm to mingle its proper hue with 

 it. Besides the pile the whole upper surface and legs are fur- 

 nished with numerous slender erect hairs, each arising from the 

 base of a puncture, dark brown on the former except at the sides, 

 very pale grey on the latter and sides of the elytra. On the 

 antennae, except the three basal joints, these hairs are confined to 

 the lower side, there forming the usual fringe. The punctures on 

 the elytra are in reality principally arranged in rows, except near 

 the scutellum ; they have somewhat an oblique direction, and are 

 not very obvious ; the punctures are of moderate size and strongly 

 marked. The irregular flexuous spots or broken lines that occur 

 on the elytra appear to be occasioned chiefly by the closer conden- 

 sation of the pile. On the prothorax, the posterior transverse 

 sulcation is well marked, the anterior is much less, and is at 

 a considerable distance from the apex.
