Longicornia Malay ana. 101 



obliquely, and forming a very deep and angular depression as they 

 diverge. It is, however, incorrect --to say that the antennae are 

 distant at the base, except in the sense that they are not con- 

 tiguous ; they are in fact much more approximate than in almost 

 any other genus of the sub-family. In both sexes there is a 

 strong tooth, scarcely long enough for a spine, at the apex of the 

 tliird joint, and the antennae, instead of becoming gradually more 

 attenuated towards the tip, have the last four or five joints nearly 

 linear, or in the males of some species (F. papulosus, P. vicarius, 

 &c.) even slightly thickened, especially the terminal joint. The 

 elytra are almost perfectly flat above, but bent suddenly down 

 so as to form an angle about midway between the suture and 

 the external margin ; this angle is sometimes so prominent as 

 almost to form a carina, and generally it has a row of shining 

 granules topping it, especially at the base ; towards the apex there 

 is almost always a second carina, short fftid oblique, and outside 

 this, near the margin, there is an indication of a third. The type 

 {P. quaternarius) is from Manilla ; to this Planodes salelles of 

 the collection approaches the most nearly of the eight homo- 

 geneous species discovered by Mr. Wallace in various localities 

 between Malacca and New Guinea. 



Slegcnus denticorms, Ciievrolat (Rev. et Mag. de Zool. 1858, 

 p. 83), from Java, is a Planodes. 



Planodes satelles, 



P. pube grisea tectus ; prothoracis lateribus corrugatis ; elytris 



plagis nigris nitidis quatuor ornatis. 

 Hab. — Malacca. 



Derm brownish-black with a close greyish pile, the elytra with 

 four large shining spots ; head remotely punctured, a black gla- 

 brous band between the eyes ; prothorax with numerous well- 

 marked wrinkles at the sides, gradually ceasing towards the me- 

 dian line ; scutellum narrowly triangular ; elytra with two large 

 shining black patches on each, the upper directly before the 

 middle and extending to the external margin, the lower midway 

 between the first and the apex, the carina with granules only 

 at the base, gradually disappearing and replaced by punctures 

 toward the apex, the shorter apical carina rather prominent; 

 body beneath and legs with a fine grejish pile; antennae longer 

 than the body, dark brown, the third and fourth joints at the base 

 paler. 



Length 8 lines.
