210 Longicornia Malayana. 



Sijhra violala, 

 S. fuscescens ; capite prothoraceque pube pallide griseo-fenu- 

 ginea tectis et magis punctatis ; scutello postice rotundato ; 

 elytris griseato sparse pubescentibus, maculis oblongis griseis. 

 Hab. — Waigiou. 



Closely resembling S. primaria, but the facets of the eyes very 

 decidedly larger, the head comparatively coarsely punctured ; the 

 prothorax with the punctures much more closely together ; and 

 the scutellum rounded posteriorly and less transverse. 

 Length 5^ lines. 



Sybra arator. 

 S. fnscus, pube pallide griseo-ferruginea ; elytris medio sub- 

 tiliter pubescentibus, postice pallide griseo-ferrugineis, apicem 

 versus macula obliqua fusca. 

 Hab. — Singapore. 



Possibly only a variety of S. incana, but it is decidedly a nar- 

 rower form, judging from a single specimen, and the colour, 

 instead of being uniformly either ashy-grey or brown according 

 to the individual, is a greyisli-ochre on the prothorax and poste- 

 rior third of the elytra; the antennae are also distinctly annulated 

 with pale greyish at the base of the joints. 

 Length 5 lines. 



Syhra incana. 

 Ropica incana, Pascoe, Trans. Ent. Soc. ser. 2, v. 50. 

 S. fusca, pube canescenti vel griseo-brunnea omnino regulariter 

 tecta ; elytris apicem versus macula semilunari fusca, ad 

 suturam interrupta, ornatis. 

 Sab. — Aru, Waigiou, Saylee, Sula. 



Dark brown, with an equal ashy pubescence; head with coarse 

 hairs in front; prothorax minutely punctured, the punctures 

 nearly concealed by the pubescence ; scutellum rounded be- 

 hind ; elytra finely seriate-punctate, a slightly curved brown 

 patch near the apex, scarcely attaining the suture ; body beneath 

 and legs brown, nitid, with a fine greyish pile; tibiae and tarsi 

 with a paler derm ; anteniiEe reddish-brown, with a thin greyish 

 pile. The specimens from Waigiou and Saylee pale greyish- 

 brown, nearly without the apical patch, and the scutellum very 

 decidedly narrower. 

 Length 4 — 5 lines.
