268 Longicornia Malayana. 



regione suturali ochraceo-tomentosis ; partibus aliis ely- 

 trorum ma'culis numerosis (aliquando fere obsoletis) niveis. 



Hab.—Aru, Key, Matabello. 



Black, shining ; head and disk of the protborax covered with a 

 short ochraceous tomentum, the latter immaculate ; scutellum 

 subscutiform, ochraceous ; elytra rugosely punctured, the sutural 

 region and sides with an ochraceous tomentum, the interval 

 glabrous and glossy black, more or less spotted with snowy-white ; 

 sometimes the spots are nearly connected throughout, forming an 

 irregular stripe from the base to the apex, or .(passing through many 

 stages) theyare nearly obsolete, the ochraceous tomentum extending 

 more or less over the whole, or the tomentum is nearly absent alto- 

 gether; body beneath with a greyish pubescence, the lateral stripe 

 extending from the prothorax to the end of the abdomen ; an- 

 tennae sometimes nearly three times the length of the body, very 

 scabrous, the apices of the joints thickened, strongly produced on 

 one side, and furnished with two or three stout spines. 



Length 22 — 34 lines. 



This is probably the finest species of the genus ; it is very 

 variable in size and colour, but in all cases preserves a certain 

 distinctive character not to be mistaken. 



Balocera Meleager. 



B. fusca, pube fulva tecta ; elytris ampliatis, punctis numerosis 

 ferrugineis collocatis, apicibus bispinosis. 



Hab. — Bouru. 



Brown, with a short close tawny pubescence ; head slightly 

 rugose between the eyes ; prothorax immaculate ; scutellum broad 

 at the base, coarsely and entirely pubescent ; elytra large and 

 convex, speckled with numerous rusty shining points, which are 

 more or less crowded together, forming large irregular patches, 

 these points at the base are chiefly composed of the usual granular 

 projections which gradually lose this character and become at 

 the middle little transverse impressions and towards the apex 

 ordinary punctures, but in all cases surrounded by a slight 

 glabrous space except along the sides, where the pubescence is 

 darker and more condensed ; apices truncate, each angle ending 

 in a strongly-marked spine ; body beneath and legs tawny, no 

 trace of a lateral stripe; antennae with three or four short spines 

 on each of the thickened apices of the joints. 



Length 34 lines.
