650 Longicornia Malayana, 



GLAUCYTINiE. 



Olaucytes has been usually referred to the neighbour- 

 hood of Tmesisternus, apparently because Latreille 

 placed it close to that genus^ together with two other 

 anomalous forms, but without any intention of indicating 

 an affinity. When treating of the Tmesisternince, I 

 pointed out in a note {ante, p. 440) that it belonged to 

 the Geramhycidce, without, however, any attempt to fix 

 its position; this, M. Lacordaire says, is so near the 

 RJiopalojyhorince, that, except for the size and form of the 

 eye, he should have included it in that subfamily. The 

 geographical distribution of the Glaucytince is peculiar, 

 viz. Madagascar, Mauritius, North Australia, the New 

 Hebrides, and the Malayan Islands mentioned below.

Glaucytes. 



Glaucytes, J. Thomson, Arch. Ent. i. 423 ; Lacordaire, 

 Gen. ix. 119. 



Leptoc&ra, Latreille, in Cuv. Reg. Anim. v. 121. 

 {nee Germar). 



Caput breviusculum, verticale. Oculi magni, promi- 

 nentes, antice approximati. Antennae corpore longi- 

 ores, setacea3 ; scapo modice elongato, obconico ; arti- 

 culis cylindricis, quarto tertio breviore, caeteris sensini 

 longioribus. Prothorax conicus, capite latior. Elytra 

 prothorace latiora, postice gradatim angustiora, 

 apicibus truncatis. Pedes mediocres; femora gra- 

 datim in crassata ; ^am aequales. ProsferwMm angus- 

 tum, elevatum. Mesosternum latum, verticale. 



Glaucytes scriptus, Fab., the type of this genus, is the 

 only one that I have examined which has the mesosternum 

 tuberculate ; there is a very slight rounded ledge in G.
