Longicornia Malay ana. 153 



Apomecyna histrio. 

 Lamia Imtrio, Fabricius, Ent. Syst. ii. 288. 

 A. fusca, subtiliter griseo-pubescens ; prothorace angustato ; 

 elytris guttis dense pubescentibus albis, apicibus oblique 

 truncatis. 

 Hab. — Batchian, Saylee. 



Dark brown, with a very short greyish pile, resembling scales, 

 and which are not in contact with one another, except where they 

 are densely crowded together to form spots ; head and prothorax 

 remotely punctured, the latter only slightly broader than the head ; 

 elytra also remotely punctured, the punctures in rows, each having, 

 as well as those on the head and prothorax, a short rounded scale 

 in the centre ; the apex of each elytron obliquely truncate, but 

 not mucronate ; body beneath, legs and antennae dark chesnut- 

 brovvn, with a thin ochraceous pile, the fourth antennal joint fre- 

 quently white, except at the apex ; spots on the prothorax and 

 elytra varying considerably, but always very distinct on the latter, 

 and generally disposed in three oblique lines. 

 Length 5 lines. 



Etaxalus. 



Caput antice latum, vertice elevato, tuberibus antenniferis 



brevibus, basi valde remotis. Oculi divisi. Antennce corpore 



breviores, basi distantes, graciles ; scapo breviter subcylin- 



drico, rugoso-punctato ; articulis tertio quartoque a?qualibus ; 



caeteris multo brevioribus. Palpi articulo ultimo elongato- 



ovato. Prothorax capita paulo latior, breviter subcylindri- 



cus, regularis. Elytra elongata, parallela, humeris prominulis, 



apice Integra. Pedes breves ; femora vix incrassata ; tarsi 



articulo ultimo valido. Pro- et meso-sterna elevata. 



In habit this genus agrees tolerably well with Sthenias, but 



differs in a multitude of characters, such as its (apparently) entirely 



divided eyes, short antennary tubers distant at the base (the space 



between them nearly flat, not deeply angulated as in Sthetiias), and 



the slightly depressed, not convex, elytra. 



Etaxalus iliacus. (PI. IX. fig. 4.) 

 E. ferrugineus, tenuissime griseo-pubescens ; prothorace ely- 

 trisque granulis numerosis nitidis concoloribus tectis ; his 

 lateribus macula magna niveo-pubescente ornatis ; antennis 

 concoloribus.
