Longicornia Malay ana. 283 



are nearly allied, especially the first two. Like Protemnemus 

 they are all furnished above with a greyish scale-like pubescence 

 not quite covering the dark-brown derm beneath. 7'he antennae 

 of the male are a little longer than those of the female. 



Periaptodes llctor. (PI. XIV. fig. 3.) 



P. griseatus ; prothorace baud rugoso, longitudine latitudini 

 aequali ; elytris sub-angustatis, humeris dente transverso in- 

 structis, granulis minutis vage dispersis ; scapo antennarum 

 baud rugoso. 



Hab. — Dorey. 



Covered above with minute uniformly arranged greyish scales ; 

 head rather narrow, the pubescence in front hairlike; prothorax 

 not broader than the head, about equal in length and breadth, ex- 

 clusive of the long narrow lateral spine which arises from a small 

 base, the disk tolerably equal and without granules; scutellum 

 triangular, covered with a buflP tomentum ; elytra rather narrow, 

 the base with a large brown cordate blotch, common to both, an 

 oblique brownish band, shading off insensibly behind, beginning 

 near the shoulder and terminating at the suture about the 

 middle, a few minute granules anteriorly, and here and there a 

 pale grey setulose hair, the tooth at the shoulder small and trans- 

 verse, the spine at the obliquely truncated apex produced ; body 

 beneath chesnut-red, with a coarse grey ' pubescence, the pale 

 setulose hairs more numerous, the legs and three basal joints 

 of the antennae furnished with pubescence of the same character 

 but more dense, the remainder of the antennae densely pubescent 

 without the setulose hairs.

Periaptodes testator. 

 P. griseatus ; prothorace baud rugoso, longitudine quam 

 latitudine paulo breviori ; elytris vix angustatis, humeris 

 dente obliquo instructis, granulis minutis vage dispersis ; 

 scapo baud rugoso. 

 Hab. — Dorey. 



Broader than the last ; the prothorax slightly transverse, the 

 scutellum glabrous in the middle, the humeral tooth directed 

 obliquely forwards, the blotch at the base bilobed, and the apex 

 nearly transversely truncate, are the principal characters which dif- 

 ferentiate this species from P. Victor. 

 Length 15 lines.
