Longicornia Malayana, 357 



Tropimefopa simulator. 

 Astalhes simulator, Pascoe, Trans. Eiit. Soc. ser, 2, iv. 44. 



T. brunneo-riibra, subnitida ; antennis apice nigris. 



Sab. — Sarawak. 



Brownish-red, or in certain lights miniaceous, slightly nitid, 

 covered above with short scattered erect hairs ; head and protho- 

 rax finely punctured, the latter with an elevated squarish some- 

 what bilobed gibbosity ; scutellum punctiform ; elytra finely and 

 irregularly punctured, the apex of each terminating at thesutural 

 angle in a sliglitly oblique spine ; body beneath and legs reddish- 

 ferruginous, shining ; antennae nearly as long as the body in the 

 male, pale ferruginous, the apex dark brown or black, the first 

 two joints nearly glabrous, with a ^evf longish hairs, the rest pubes- 

 cent, fringed beneath. 



Length 4 (^)— 5 ($) lines. 



OcHKOCKSIS. 



Characteres ut in Chreonoma (post, p. 358), sed elytra angus- 

 tata, parallela, apicibus spinosis. 



It must be admitted that this genus is rather weakly charac- 

 terized, and it might perhaps be viewed simply as an aberrant form 

 of^ Chreonoma, nevertheless the spined apices of the elytra are so 

 exceptional, occurring only again in this sub-family in Tropimetopn, 

 that I think its separation will lead to a better appreciation of the 

 genera, and serve to make Chreonoma a more nearly homogeneous 

 group. There are two specimens. In the smallest one, probably 

 the male, the antennae are a trifle longer than the body ; in the 

 other, they scarcely reach to the end of the elytra. 



Ochrocesis evanida. (PI. XVI, fig. 3.) 



O. testacea, postice dilutior ; antennis apicem versus nigris. 



Hab. — Sarawak. 



Testaceous, paler posteriorly, clothed with numerous pale grey- 

 ish, nearly erect, hairs ; head and prothorax vaguely punctured, 

 the latter without any median prominence ; scutellum indistinctly 

 separated from the elytra ; the latter with well-marked punctures 

 at the base, disappearing towards the apex ; body beneath fulvous, 

 the metasternum and its episterna blackish ; legs and antennae 

 testaceous, the latter blackish at the spines. 



Length 3 — 3| lines.
