Jjongicornia Malayana. 639 



brevissimo ; prothorace depresso^ breviusculo ; pedi- 

 bus rafo-fjiTagiueis, nitidis. 



Hah. — Sarawak (and Penang) . 



Reddish-brown, opaque, with scattered whitish hairs; 

 head very short in front, roughly punctured, antinnarj 

 tubers nearly obsolete ; prothorax dark brown, with 

 crowded irregular impressed punctures, the intervals 

 corrugate ; scutellum brown ; elytra moderately long, 

 closely punctured at the base, the punctures raised at 

 their anterior borders and piliferous; body beneath, 

 glossy brown, paler on the abdomen ; legs reddish-fer- 

 ruginous, shining, slightly pilose; antennge with the 

 third joint twice as long as the fourth, ferruginous, 

 sparsely pubescent. 



Length 5|-6 lines. 



This species differs from Ceresium in its short broad 

 face, and in the third joint of its antennee being twice 

 as long as the fourth, instead of only a little longer (or 

 as in G. vestigiale not longer) . Its habit, however, is 

 quite the same as Ceresium, and for the present I leave 

 it in the genus as an abnormal species. 



EXAMNES. 



Caput subverticale, antice brevissimum ; tuberibus an- 

 tenniferis prominentibus, basi conjunctis. Oculi 

 profunde emarginati, supra vix approximati. An- 

 temice (c?) corpore duplo longiores, validre, sensim 

 attenuat^e, pilosse ; scapo brevi, crasso ; articulis 3io 

 at 5to eequalibus, sequentibus vix longioribus, 4to 

 breviore. Prothorax plus minusve oblongus, sub- 

 depressus. Elytra modice vel vix elongata, postice 

 angustiora, apicibus rotundatis. Pedes validi: fe- 

 mora fortiter clavata, basi subattenuata ; tarsi postici 

 articulo basali elongate. Prostermmb postice trun- 

 catum ; 'niesosternum breviter declive. 



Preserving the general habit of Ceresium, but with 

 much longer and stouter antenna, and a very short face, 

 the lower border of the antennary tubers being closely 

 approximate to the upper lip ; and those organs, con- 

 nected and on the same plane at the base, form a nearly 

 continuous pad. * Two individuals, apparently both 



* M. Lacordaire uses the word " hourrelet " for this form.
