Longicornia Malayana. 287 



Leprodera epwedioide.t. 

 L. pube sparsa grisescente tecta ; prothorace rugoso-punc- 



tato, vix transversim sulcato ; elytris singulis ad latera unipla- 



giatis. 

 Hab. — Sarawak. 



Pubescence sparse, greyish; head remotely punctured in front; 

 prothorax rather narrow, rugosely punctured and impressed, the 

 apical and basal grooves indistinct ; scutellum broadly rounded 

 behind ; elytra granulate at the base, the punctures beyond gradu- 

 ally disappearing at the middle, a large brown blotch, the greater 

 part of which is behind the middle, and bordered with ochreous 

 on each side ; body beneath and legs with a dark ochreous pile ; 

 antennae brown, sparingly pubescent, the scape rather rugose. 



Length 15 lines. 



A single specimen in my collection, standing under the name of 

 Leprodera vaticina, has a striking resemblance to this species, but 

 is much smaller (9 lines), has a narrower prothorax and the head 

 almost quadrate in front, and the close cloth-like pubescence of 

 the brown elytral patch of the above is replaced by very minute 

 short flattish hairs imperfectly covering the derm. Mr. Wallace 

 however ticketed it and the above with the same number. 



Leprodera plagiata. 

 J. Thomson, Arch. Ent. i. 178. 



L. brunneo-grisea ; prothorace rugoso, sulcis transversis indis- 

 tinctis ; elytris singulis plaga maxima rotundata et postice 

 plagis duabus lateralibus fuscis ornatis. 



Hab. — Sarawak. 



Brownish-grey, closely pubescent ; vertex and front remotely 

 punctured ; prothorax rugose, the transverse grooves not distinctly 

 separable from the other grooved lines ; scutellum rather narrow ; 

 elytra finely and remotely punctured, the shoulders only granulate, 

 a large round spot occupying nearly the whole of the anterior half 

 of the elytra, and a large patch on each side posteriorly, faintly 

 bordered with ochreous ; body beneath and legs with a reddish- 

 brown pubescence, the middle of the abdomen nearly glabrous ; 

 antennae dark brown. 



Length 13 lines.
