616 Longieornia Malay and. 



Hah. — Amboyna; Ceram; Morty; Waigiou; Batchiari; 

 Bouru; Mysol; Dorey. 



Head and protliorax grayish, the latter with two black 

 spots in the middle ; elytra dark brown, or often reddish- 

 brown, with four gray or reddish-gray bands, the first 

 sometimes nearly obsolete, or represented by a small spot, 

 the second oblique on each side, the third broader and 

 also oblique, very often interrupted at the suture, apices 

 obKquely truncate, with a slender spine at the outer angle ; 

 body mostly white; legs reddish-luteous, the tibioB and 

 tarsi darker; antennae reddish-brown, with the interme- 

 diate joints whitish. 



Length 4-7 lines. 



This species is a variable one in size and colour. It 

 is said to occur also in Australia. M. Chevrolat is in- 

 clined to refer to it G. trizonatus, Blanch., as well as 

 his own P. femoralis, which he thinks is '' perhaps a local 

 variety.'' 



Perissus antennatus. 



P. capite prothoraceque flavescentibus, hoc breviter 

 ovato ; elytris nigris, fasciis quatuor cinereis, secunda 

 scutellum versus curvata, apicibus emarginatis; fe- 

 moribus nigris. 



Hab. — Aru; Dorey; Amboyna. 



Head and prothorax pale yellowish, the latter shortly 

 ovate, finely granulate, but not spotted ; scutellum semi- 

 circular; elytra rather short, black, with four gray bands, 

 the first basal, the second curved upwards nearly to the 

 scutellum, the third transversely triangular, the last form- 

 ing an oblique patch at each apex, the latter emarginate, 

 and shortly toothed at each angle ; body beneath grayish- 

 white; femora and tibiae black, tarsi ferruginous; an- 

 tennae with the first six joints brown, the remainder 

 whitish, joints 7-10 a little produced on one side at the 

 apex. 



Length 5 lines. 



Difiers from P. x-Utera, Chev., principally (so far as 

 I can judge from the description) in being without the 

 two black bands on the breast, and the five on the abdo- 

 men, and also in the coloration of the antennee. The 

 '^ letter'' at the base in the above species is an Italic x,
