494 Longicornia Malayana. 



basi distantes, articulo tertio scapo paulo longiore, 

 caeteris gTadatira decrescentibus. Prothorax trans- 

 versus, antice paulo rotundatus, lateribus expansus, 

 marginibus crenulatis. -Elytra ad basin prothorace 

 vix latiora, spina infra-marginali nulla, apicem versus 

 gradatim angustata, humeris prominulis. Pedes sub- 

 aequales ; fenoora clavata ; tihice breviuscul^ ; tarsi 

 aequales. Pro- et meso-sterna ut in Tniesistcrno. 



In its broad prothorax this genus resembles Elais, but 

 its apex is not emarginate, and its legs are shorter and 

 nearly equal in length. M. J. Thomson compares it to 

 Craspedoderus , * which has coarsely facetted eyes, an ex- 

 ception in its sub-family. In one of my specimens the 

 prothorax is just as it is described by M. Thomson ; in 

 the other it is nearly straight without any rounding an- 

 teriorly ; in the former the margins of the prothorax are 

 set with small black granulations, giving them a sort of 

 crenulated appearance. 



Mneside venata.

* This geuiis is not represented in Mr. \Yallace's collection. M. J. 

 Thomson does not mention the habitat of the only species belonging to it. 

 It will perhaps lie useful to reproduce his description from Svst. Ceramb.
