252 Longicornia Malay ajia. 



Combe. 

 Combe, J. Thomson, Syst, Ceramb. p. 83. 

 Characteres fere ut in Cercopsio, sedoculi parvi, ore distantes ; 

 antennce {S ) longissiniae ; scapo mediocre, apicem versus cras- 

 siori, apice valde cicatricoso, articulis tertio et sequentibus(?) 

 multo longioribus, cylindricis, incrassatis, ($) corpore paulo 

 longiores, articulis cylindricis sed vix incrassatis, a tertio sensim 

 brevioribus et tenuioribus ; prothorax basi qiiam apice baud 

 latior, spina laterali in medio sita ; elytra magis depressa. 

 The females of the handsome species which is the only ex- 

 ponent of this genus are, according to the specimens now before 

 me, very considerably larger than the male, but the aniennte are 

 not much longer than the body. Unfortunately the only male 

 I have seen wants the last six joints of the antennae, but the 

 fifth joint is longer than the fourth, and this again longer than 

 the third ; the contrary of this occurs in the female, from which 

 sex only M. Thomson appears to have drawn his description. 

 The specimen in the British Museum described by Mr. White 

 is without a head. There are no granulations on the elytra, as 

 in Triammatus.
