Longicornia Malay ana. 533 



To these characters M, Lacordaire adds^ ijiter alia, the 

 antennary tubers produced into a short cone at the apex, 

 but this is also the case in Stromatium ; elytra unarmed 

 at the extremity, to which, however, Z. maculatus is an 

 exception ; * and as a secondary character, that these 

 organs constantly present a design which is foreign to 

 Stromatmm, and which gives the species a difi'erent 

 physionomy. The union of the antennary tubers at the 

 base creates a prominent uninterrupted foldj between 

 the eyes, which is wanting in Stromatium, Zoodes macu- 

 latus, White, a Ceylonese species, varies greatly in size, 

 and the males are very much more bulky than the females. 

 The latter peculiarity seems also to be the case with Z. 

 cornutus, according to M. Lacordaire, but of this I have 

 only seen the male — the specimen here described, which 

 seems to dilSer slightly in colour from the type. 



Zoodes cornutus. 

 Lacordaire, 1. c. (note) . 



Z. pallide griseo-ferruginea ; prothorace rufo-fusco, 

 utrinque leviter tuberculato ; elytris fusco-fasciatis.

Pale grayish ferruginous, covered with a fine soft silky 

 pubescence ; head and prothorax dark reddish-brown, the 

 former with a transverse and somewhat triangular im- 

 pression above the clypeus, the latter with a small distinct 

 post-median tubercle on each side, the disk slightly 

 irregular, with two nodes a little before the middle; 

 elytra not broader than the jDrothorax in the male, each 

 with two oblique brown irregular bands, one before, the 

 other behind the middle, apices unarmed, but the sutural 

 angle slightly acu.minate ; body beneath, and legs, reddish- 

 brown, with a silky pubescence. 



Length 11 lines. 



PhOKAC ANTHIN^ . 



Only one genus, represented by one species, and that 

 a well-known one, is found in the collection, although 

 the sub-family is more than half composed of Australian 

 species ; the remainder being American, with the excep- 

 tion of two genera belonging to Ceylon and West Africa 



* The suture is produced into a slender spine.
