148 Longicornia Muhiynnn. 



hand pilosae ; scapo brevi, incrassato; articiilo tertio multo 

 longiori ; quarto tertio breviori ; sequeiitibus incrassatis, 

 gradatim decrescentibus, ultimis obsolete conjunctis. Pro- 

 thorax capite latior, regularis, lateraliter rotundatus, et antice 

 dentatiis. Elytra subbrevia, prothorace latiora, paulo sub- 

 depressa, apice integra. Pedes breves, subaequales ; tib'icB 

 subelongatae, anticae rectae ; tarsi articulis tribus basalibus sub- 

 latis, ultimo baud longioribus. Pro- et meso-sterna elevata. 

 This genus has the habit of Ropica, but is more robust, and 

 differs in the antennae and legs ; the tarsi, particularly, are re- 

 markably short. The eyes are finely granulated, an unusual 

 character in this sub-family, and the inferior lobe forms a slightly 

 conical projection. 



Cobria albisparsa. (PI. VIII. fig. 1.) 

 C. fusca, sparse pubescens, maculis griseis adspersis. 

 Hab. — Dorey, 



Dark brown, very thinly pubescent ; head moderately punc- 

 tured, with coarse greyish hairs in front ; prothorax rather strongly 

 punctured, much broader than the head, the sides well rounded, 

 the anterior margin narrower than the posterior ; scutellum sub- 

 quadrate, rounded behind ; elytra irregularly punctured, much 

 broader than the prothorax, somewhat convex, the apex rounded, 

 short lines and spots of greyish pile scattered over the disc; body 

 beneath and legs chesnut-brown, glossy, with a sparse greyish 

 pubescence; antennae dark brown, varied with greyish. 



Length 3| lines. 



Epilysta. 

 Caput antice transversum, infra oculos dilatatum, tuberibus an- 

 tenniferis validis, brevibus, basi baud approximatis. Oculi 

 mediocres, niodice emarginati. Antennce corpori sequales, 

 setaceae, graciles, baud hirsutae; scapo brevissimo,ovato; arti- 

 culo tertio multo longiore; sequentibus gradatim decrescenti- 

 bus. Prothorax breviter cylindricus, regularis, capite vix 

 latior. Elytra attenuata, elongato-cuneiformia, subdepressa, 

 apicibus divaricato-acutis. Pedes hxe\es,\ tarsi antici articulo 

 basali quadrato et caeteris majore. Acetabula antica leviter 

 angulata. Pro- et meso-sterna declivia. 

 The large basal joint of the anterior tarsi is probably a character 

 of the male only. The form of the elytra, however, will readily 

 distinguish the genus. My specimen has a broad darkish band 

 in the middle of the elytra, apparently from abrasion.
