132 Longicornia Malayana. 



The anterior coxae in this genus are remarkably produced, while 

 the prosternum scarcely rises above their roots, and the mesoster- 

 nuiri is gently rounded anteriorly, and neither dilated nor toothed. 

 The crest at the base of each elytron is very small, and is accom- 

 panied by two slightly elevated lines externally. The transverse 

 impression on the prothorax is joined behind by a shallow longi- 

 tudinal excavation, dividing the disc into two very slight lobes. 

 In habit and dullness of coloration the genus resembles some 

 species of Praonetha. 



Ale agraria. (PI. VI. fig. 6.) 



A. modice pubescens, fusca, leviter griseo-varia. 



Hub. — Batchian. 



Covered with a short, moderately dense, darkish brown pubes- 

 cence, slightly varied with grey ; head deeply sulcated between 

 the antennary tubers, clothed with a yellowish-grey pile ; prothorax 

 slightly punctured, abruptly narrowed anteriorly, behind which 

 its sides are nearly parallel ; scutellum nearly semicircular ; elytra 

 irregularly punctured, the punctures nearly confined to the basal 

 half, crest at the base siyiall and tooth-like, two raised lines ex- 

 ternally, not extending to the apex, a light grey spot at the end 

 of the innermost, and a few obscure greyish patches, chiefly towards 

 the base ; body beneath brownish ; legs and antennae very slightly 

 pubescent. 



Length G lines. 



^SOPIDA. 



yE.sopida, J. Thomson, Syst. Ceramb. p. 62. 

 Caput antice transversum, inter oculos concavum, tuberibus 

 antenniferis validis, divergentibus. Oculi fere divisi. An- 

 tennce breves; scapo cylindrico; articulo tertio curvato, scapo 

 aequali ; caeteris multo brevioribus et decrescentibus. Pro- 

 thorax transversus, lateribus subparallelus, dentatus, disco 

 irregularis. £'/^/rrt subbrevia, irregidaria, basi cristata. Pedes 

 raediocres, subaequales; protibice flexuosae ; tarsi triangulares. 

 Prosternum elevatum, planatum, postice productum. Meso- 

 sternum elevatum, antice dentatum. 



There appears to be only one species of this genus, which will 

 be readily recognized by its irregular elytra, crested at the base, 

 and by the raised lines forming a rude kind of reticulation over 

 them.
