Longicornia Malayana, 249 



The characters of this genus, as well as the species that com- 

 pose it, have nothing about them very decided. Nevertheless the 

 genus is a tolerably natural one, and the species very distinct. I 

 am not, however, acquainted with the type (f*. Malasaicci), but I 

 have received from M. J. Thomson P. gtbbifera, Guer.,* to which 

 it appears Monohaunnus ? agenor, Newm., is to be referred, and 

 with this I have little difficulty in connecting the species de- 

 scribed below as congeners. P. cincticornis is a female specimen 

 and may possibly be P. Malasaica, Thoms., but that author omits 

 all mention of the antennae. The colours of these insects are a 

 mixture of various shades of grey and brown, and sometimes 

 ochraceous ; and the elytra have each two raised lines, which are 

 more prominent posteriorly. 



Pharsalia lentiginosa. 



P. fusca, pube grisea et fusca variegata ; antennis obscure 

 annulatis ; prothorace disco insequali ; elytris basi profunde 

 punctatis, apicibus rotundatis. 



Hab. — Banda. 



Brown, pubescence mixed grey and brown of various shades in 

 small patches ; head impunctate, sparsely pubescent, greyish ; 

 prothorax nearly impunctate, the disk unequal, dark brown with 

 greyish pilose stripes, but externally a little spotted ; sciitellum 

 grey, broad at the base ; elytra deeply punctured at the base, 

 behind the basal gibbosities a pale greyish band spreading out at 

 the sides, posteriorly a series of dark-brown patches nearly forming 

 a ring, apices rounded ; body beneath and legs with a greyish pile, 

 but on the former more or less interrupted ; antennae brown, the 

 basal half of nearly all the joints greyish. 



Length 1 1 lines. 



Another specimen, which is probably the female of this species, 

 has much darker colours, with the ringed pattern on the elytra 

 scarcely recognizable. 



Phanalia cincticornis, 

 P. fusca, pube fusco-grisea variegata ; antennis griseis, fusco- 



annulatis ; prothorace disco inaequali j elytris basi punctatis, 



humeris granulosis, apicibus rotundatis. 

 Hab. — Malacca. 

 Brown, pubescence chiefly brownish-grey passing into fulvous ;
