544 Longieornia Malayana. 



Tethionea apiculata. 

 Ceresium apiculatum, Pascoe, Journ. of Entom. i. 357. 



T. lutea, lateraliter picea ; protliorace angusto, lateri- 

 bus fere parallelis. 



Hah . — Batcliian . 



Rather glossy, reddish-yellow, the sides of the protho- 

 rax and elytra pitchy brown; head slightly punctured; 

 prothorax rather narrower than the head, a little longer 

 than broad, the sides nearly parallel, the disk finely punc- 

 tured ; elytra punctured as in T. unicolor, the apex of each 

 formed in the same way; antennae, except the scape, and 

 the lower part of the tibiee and tarsi, pubescent ; abdomen 

 impunctate. 



Length 4 lines. 



Of this, as well as of the last species, my specimens 

 appear to be females. 



§ § Elytra emarginate, or biapiculate at their apices. 

 Tethionea strumosa. 



T. piceo-brunnea, pedibus testaceis; prothorace pone 

 medium utrinque irregulariter tuberculato. 



Hah. — Coram, Ambo}Tia. 



Slightly glossy, pale pitchy brown, a little darker at the 

 sides; head finely punctured, a short impressed line 

 between the antennary tubers ; prothorax a little longer 

 than broad in the male, finely punctured, on each side be- 

 hind the middle are three or four tubercles, sometimes par- 

 tially connected and then forming an indefinite irregular 

 patch ; scutellum rounded behind ; elytra finely punc- 

 tured, but the punctation coarser at the base, in one 

 example an indistinct brownish band behind the middle, 

 apices biapiculate ; legs testaceous, a little darker at the 

 knees; antennaa half as long again as the body in the 

 male, pitchy testaceous, finely pubescent ; body beneath, 

 pitchy brown, A\'ith sparse scattered haii'S. 



Length 5^ ( ^ )— 7 (?) lines. 



In the unique male insect in my collection, the terminal 

 joint of the maxillary palpi is rather singular, the 

 truncate slope commencing nearly from the base, so that 

 the greater part of the side of the joint appears to be 

 removed ; in the female it is nearly cylindrical, or only 

 slightly triangular, as in the same sex of the rest of the 

 species.
