Longicornia Malayana. 255 



cicatricoso ; articulo tertio longiore, basi attenuate, apicem 



versus pyriforme ; 4to — 6to brevibus, attenuatis, praesertim 



5to et 6to (caeteri desunt). ProMorax capite vix latior, sub- 



cyb'ndricus, muticus. Elytra basi latissima, lateribus leviter 



rotundatis, apice truncata. Pedes insequales, antici breviores, 



postici longiores ; tarsi sequales. Prosternum snb-elevatum. 



Mesosternum in medio dente vertical! productum. 



Unfortunately the unique specimen before me wants the last 



five joints of the antennae, and therefore I have not figured it. 



It resembles in outline a Criopsts or a Sderonolus, and is well 



characterized by the long claviform third antennal joint, followed 



by others so much smaller and slenderer (although the fourth is 



less so than those which follow) as to give them the appearance of 



having belonged to another insect. 



Iphiothe criopsioides. 



I. fusca, pube plerumque griseo-fusca tecta ; antennarum 

 articulo quarto, apice excepto, rufo-luteo.
