Longicornia Mulayana. J 45 



Synelasma scincus, 



S. fuscum, sparse piibescens, baud granulatum ; elytris sub- 

 depressis, baud cristatis, impresso-punctatis. 



Hub. — Sarawak. 



Dark brown, very sb'gbtly pubescent, without granulations, 

 although between some of the punctures the derm is so pinched 

 up as to assume in some places the appearance of them ; head 

 rugosely punctured, witli patciies of very pale ferruginous hairs ; 

 prothorax coarsely punctured, no anterior tooth, but a very small 

 one on each side behind the middle ; scutellum very short, trans- 

 verse ; elytra slightly depressed, covered with large widely-im- 

 pressed punctures, especially at the sides, without crests, the base 

 perfectly regular ; body beneath glossy black, with a few greyish- 

 ferruginous hairs, principally on the edges of the abdominal seg- 

 ments ; legs with scattered greyish hairs; antennae black, the third 

 and fourth joints with a greyish pubescence at the base. 



Length 6 lines. 



ZoSMOTES. 



Caput antice quadratum, tuberibus antenniferis validis, divergen- 

 tibus, basi approximatis. Oculi parvi, fere divisi. Antennce 

 corpore paulo longiores ; scapo elongato, magno, claviformi ; 

 articulo tertio longissimo; caeteris multo brevioribus et sensim 

 decrescentibus, quinque ultimis dense fimbriatis. Prothorax 

 brevis, cylindricus, regularis, capite non latior. Elytra bre- 

 via, convexa, basi prothorace multo latiora, apice integra. 

 Pedes mediocres, antici in maribus paulo elongati ; tarsi antici 

 caeteris latiores, articulo penultimo dilatato. Pro- et meso- 

 sterna elevata. 

 Perhaps this genus might have been better placed in the pre- 

 ceding sub-family, on account of its quadrate front and elongate 

 scape ; but as the latter is entire at the apex, and the antennae 

 have the same curious pectinated fringe as in Synelasma, I prefer 

 to consider it a member of the same group as the last-mentioned 

 genus. 



Zosmotes plumula. (PI. IX. fig. 3.)

interrupta albescente.
