Longicornia Malayana. 537 



of C. cretatum, in which it is long and perfectly cylin- 

 drical, and that of G. versutiim, in which it is as broad as 

 it is long, depressed and rounded at the sides. The 

 species extend from North China to New Guinea, but 

 have not yet been found in Australia. Pneumida, Thorns., 

 is included in Ceresnim by M. Lacordaire ; its species 

 (argenteofasciata) is found in Malacca, but does not occur 

 in Mr. Wallace's collection. 



Ceresium raripilum.

Black, shining, with scattered white adpressed hairs, 

 more numerous on the head and prothorax, the latter

This is the type of the genus, to which Mr. Newman 

 subsequently referred his Obrium wimite and 0. cethiops : 

 his CalUdium intortum, doubtfully referred to the same, 

 is now Porithea intorta, and C. vile is the same as Diato- 

 mocepliala simplex (macidaticollis, Blanch.) . 



Ceres iu7u rufpes. 



C. nigrum, vix nitidum, pilis albis sparsis obsitum;
