324 Longicornia Malayana. 



Apophrena. 

 Caput sub-conicum, tuberibus antenniferis apice sitis, contiguis, 

 erectis. JDcul'i magni, antennarum basi vix contigiii, fortiter 

 emarginati, lobo inferiore prominulo, rotundato. AntenncB 

 filiformes ; scapo cylindrico, basin elytrorum attingente ; 

 articulo tertio paulo breviore ; caeteris fere sub-aequalibus. 

 Prothorax cylindricus. Elytra prothorace latiora, apicibus 

 spinosis. Pedes brevissimi, tarsi angustati, articulo ultimo 

 elongato. Pro- et mcso-sterna declivia. Corpus gracile. 

 This genus differs from Sippopsis only in tlie contiguity and 

 direction of the antennary tubers, and in tlie eyes being situated 

 at a little distance from the base of the antennae, a modification 

 which we find still further carried out in Tetraglenes and other 

 genera. Of the three species described below it might perhaps 

 have been more natural to have made A. montana the type of 

 a separate genus, as it has peculiar wedge-shaped elytra and 

 longer legs.
