Longicornia Malayana. 481 



with tlie anterior lateral tooth very small, the posterior 

 obsolete ; scutellum nearly semicircular ; elytra convex, 

 rounded at the side, the apices obliquely truncate, not 

 emarginate, each elytron with five slightly elevated lines, 

 Avhich are more or less rugose or interrupted by punc- 

 tures, the first and third lines connected behind and 

 nearer the apex, the united line joining the fifth ; body 

 beneath glossy brown, the sides grayish pubescent ; legs 

 and antennee brown, with a grayish pubescence. 



Length 7 lines. 



An obscurely coloured species, but very distinct ; the 

 pubescence in the intei'vals of the raised lines gives the 

 elytra a striped appearance, which, however, may not be 

 obvious in fresh examples. 



Tmesisternus agriloides. 



T. angustatus, fuscus, pube sordide grisea tectus ; pro- 

 thorace lateribus exceptis glabro, nitido, basi dila- 

 tata ; elytris cuneiformibus, macula centrobasali 

 glabra, nitida. 



Hah. — New Guinea. 



Slender, dark brown, covered with a very dull grayish 

 pubescence ; head sparsely punctured, the vertex nearly 

 glabrous ; prothorax rather closely punctured, impunctate 

 on the central line, glabrous except at the sides, glossy 

 brown, the base very considerably broader than the 

 apex ; scutellum transverse ; elytra somewhat elongate, 

 rather broad at the base, but gradually and rapidly nar- 

 rowing towards the apex, a short raised line in the middle 

 of each, a round glossy glabrous centro-basal spot, the 

 rest dull grayish-brown, with faint traces at the sides of 

 three or four oblique spots of a lighter colour ; body 

 beneath grayish pubescent, the central line glabrous 

 glossy brown ; femora greenish, their bases luteous ; 

 tibige, tarsi, and antennae, which are very slender and 

 longer than the body, dull luteous. 



Length 7 lines. 



I have only one specimen of this species, and this does 

 not appear to be in its freshest state as regards pubes- 

 cence, &c. ; it can not be confounded with any but the 

 following species.
