Longicornia Malay ana. 155 



body beneath chesnut-brown, with a pale-greyish tomentum; legs 

 covered with a mixture of coarse brownish and greyish hairs. 

 Length 5 lines. 



Phesates. 

 Caput antice transversum, tuberibus antenniferis brevibus, basi 

 remotis. Oculi magni, subtenue granulati, anguste emargi- 

 nati, vertice baud distantes. Antennce breves, sublineares ; 

 scapo subcyliudrico, subtenuato ; articulis tertio et quarto 

 singulis scapo fere aequalibus ; sequentibus brevioribus. 

 Palpi articulo ultimo modice elongato, truncato. Pro- 

 thorax subrotundatus, capite paulo latior. Elytra sub- 

 elongata, postice sensim angustiora, basi prothorace latiora, 

 humeris baud prominentibus, apice integra. Pedes breves; 

 femora clavata ; tibicB anticse subfiisiformes ; tarsi tibiis bre- 

 viores, postici caeteris longiores, articulo ultimo tribus basali- 

 bus in unum breviore. Pro- et meso-sterna subelevata. 

 The very unusual character, among the Lamiidis, of truncate 

 palpi will at once distinguish this genus, which in outline re- 

 sembles Aj)omecijna. The fore-tibiae are also remarkable ; instead 

 of expanding at the extremity, they contract and are rounded at 

 that part where the tarsi are inserted, and are, in consequence, 

 entirely destitute of the mucro, which is a common character in 

 nearly all the Longicornia. The eyes are unusually large, their 

 lower border extending to the base of the mandibles.
