264 Longicornia Maluyana, 



broad lateral snowy stripe not extending beyond the first abdominal 

 segment ; anterior legs and especially the tibiae elongate. 



Length 28 — 30 lines. 



The spots on this very distinct species are, I believe, always of 

 a bright vermilion when the insect is living, and one of my 

 specimens still retains that colour. It is longer and narrower than 

 any of the preceding. 



Batocera metallescens. 



B. fusco-metallica, tenuiter ochraceo-pubescens ; scutellogriseo- 

 tomentoso ; elytris cuneato-elongatis, in medio macula ir- 

 regulari albo-tomentosa impressis. 



Hab. — Macassar. 



Dark brown, with a strong metallic gloss and a rather thin ochra- 

 ceous pubescence ; head and prothorax as in the preceding, but 

 the latter less pubescent ; antennae more decidedly punctured and 

 less scabrous, the apices of the joints somewhat enlarged but not 

 produced ; scutellum with a slightly silky yellowish-grey tomentum; 

 elytra rather elongate, cuneate, or with the sides straighter and 

 narrowing more rapidly posteriorly, each with a sunken irregular 

 spot, having a close white tomentum at the bottom but not extend- 

 ing up to the level of the surrounding part ; the latei'al white 

 stripe does not pass beyond the first abdominal segment ; fore- 

 legs moderately elongate. 



Length 26 lines. 



1 have only a single specimen of this species, but its metallic 

 gloss, the form of the elytra with the two impressed central spots, 

 and the characters of the antennae, leave no doubt as to its distinct- 

 ness from everything else in the collection. 



Batocera pulverosa. 



B. fusca, griseo-pubescens ; elytris totis granulis nitidis tectis. 



Hab. — Timor. 



Dark brown or black, with a very pale grey or whitish pubes- 

 cence ; head roughly scored in front, the occiput and prothorax 

 finely pubescent, the latter with two bright ochraceous spots; 

 scutellum densely tomentose ; elytra entirely covered (except 

 close to the apices) with numerous small crowded glossy-brown 

 granules, the pubescence filling the intervals, two or three patches 

 — one, the most conspicuous, near the middle — with fewer 

 granules, apices sub-sinuate, the sutural angle slightly produced ; 

 body beneath with a greenish-grey pubescence, the lateral stripe
