Longicornia Malayana. 415 



Pedes antici et intermedii breves, postici longiores ; tarsi 

 sequales. Fro- et meso-sterna simplicia. Abdomen lineare, 

 segmentis fere sequalibus. 

 The characters of this genus are in some respects intermediate 

 between Glenea and Oberea, although more nearly allied to the 

 latter ; the well-marked antennary tubers, however, approximate 

 at the base and semi-erect, give the head a concavity and narrow- 

 ness in front quite different from the same part in those genera. 

 In Tanylecia and Ectinogramma — Malayan genera not in the Wal- 

 lacean Collection — the antennae are also approximate, or even 

 almost contiguous, but the former, inter alia, has the normal 

 form of abdomen, and the latter has the basal joint of the an- 

 tennae very long, and all the legs very short.
