158 Longicornia Mulayana. 



antenniferis validissimis, basi approximatis, apice distanti- 



bus. Oculi prominuli, reniformes. Antennae breves, setaceae ; 



scapo breviter incrassato, basi tenuiori; articulo tertio curvato, 



duplo longiori ; caeteris gradatim brevioribus. Prolhorax sub- 



cylindricus, angulis basalibus rectis vel productis, baud trans- 



versim sulcatus. Elytra cylindrica, apicem versus abrupte 



declivia vel truncata. Pedes breves ; inotiblce curvatse. Pro- 



et meso-sterna declivia. 



In Atimura terminata* the type of this genus, the anterior 



coxae are prolonged on their inner edge into a short spine ; as 



this is not the case in the two species described below, I have 



omitted the character in the above definition. The genus is well 



limited by its short stout scape, and perfectly cylindrical elytra, 



truncate at the apex. A. bacillina is almost an exact counterpart, 



barring a few minute but most important particulars, of the 



Australian type, and is interesting as a very rare instance of such 



conformity among the Longicornia. From their cylindrical form, 



and their colour, these insects resemble little broken twigs or 



sticks. 



Atimura bacillina. 



A. griseo-pubescens ; prothorace interriipte costato, angulis 

 posticis productis ; elytris costatis, apice abrupte truncatis. 



Hab. — Sarawak, Sumatra. 



Pubescent, greyish, the truncated part of the elytra greyish- 

 white ; head and scape closely pubescent, greyish-ochreoiis, with 

 large black punctures ; prothorax moderately punctured, with 

 five obscurely elevated lines, its posterior angles produced, the 

 sides slightly incurved; scutellum rounded behind; elytra irre- 

 gularly punctured, with four raised lines on each, the innermost 

 interrupted, and terminating in the truncated portion with gradually 

 increasing thickness ; body beneath and legs brownish, rather 

 thinly pubescent ; antennae somewhat shorter than the body, 

 slender and slightly pubescent, except the scape. 



Length 5 lines. 



Atimura punctissima, 



A. fusco-castanea ; prothorace glabio, hand costato, angulis 

 posticis rectis ; elytris glabris, apice excepto, fortiter punc- 

 tatis.
