Longicornia Malay ana. 473 



In its coloration and somewhat narrow outline this 

 species agrees with the following, but the gray markings 

 are of a larger pattern and more broken up, the pro- 

 thorax has five stripes, and the tibiae are differently 

 coloured.

Brown, more or less speckled and varied with gray; 

 head and prothorax gray, the latter with three brownish 

 stripes, and rather coarsely and irregularly punctured ; 

 scutellum somewhat quadrate, a little broader anteriorly :

 four grayish spots, the intermediate spaces speckled with

This species is referred with a ? by M. Boisduval to his 

 T. distinctus. The latter I have not seen, but from the

 T. unipunctatus , Guer. {lih. cit. p. 132) is a smaller species 

 apparently very nearly allied to this. 



Tmesisternus vagus. 



Ichthyosomus vagus, J. Thomson, Syst. Ceramb. p. 546. 



T. fuscus, pube grisea variegatus ; prothorace irregu-

 femoribus tibiisque pallide viridibus.
