658 Longicornia Malayana. 



setaceaB ; scapo elongato-pyriformi, arcuato ; articulis 



3 et 4 brevioribus et sequalibus^ 6-11 gradatim mi- 



noribus. Palpi baud elongati, articulo ultimo ovali. 



Prothorax latitudine longior, pone apicem et ante 



basin constrictus, lateraliter angulatus, in medio 



bituberculatus. Elytra breviuscula, subparallela, 



sat convexa, marginibus externis in medio arcuatis. 



Pedes mediocres ; femora pedunculato-clavata ; tibice 



lineares; tarsi breves. Pro- et meso- sterna ut in 



Noemia. Corpus parce pilosum. 



A shorter form than Noemia, with different head, eyes, 



palpi, antennae, &c. The elytra are rather more convex 



posteriorly; the arching at the middle of their outer 



margin admits of a more free movement of the posterior 



femora. 



Nericonia trifasciata. (PL XXII. fig. 2.) 



N. nigra, nitida; elytris argenteo-subtrifasciatis ; au- 

 tennis, scapo excepto, fulvis. 



Hah. — Sarawak. 



Glossy black, with a partial silvery pubescence, slightly 

 condensed along the posterior grooved part of the protho- 

 rax, and more so on the elytra, where it forms three some- 

 what indistinct bands, the first behind the base, the 

 second before the middle, and the third at some distance 

 from the apex ; the head very smooth and convex be- 

 tween the eyes, and, like the prothorax, impunctate; 

 scutellum somewhat quadrate; elytra coarsely seriate- 

 punctate, the punctures terminating abruptly within a third 

 of the apex, the latter rounded ; body beneath, and legs, 

 glossy black, the latter with the pedunculate portion of 

 the femora whitish; antennae about a third longer than 

 the body, the scape brownish, the rest obscure fulvous, 

 with a dark line externally. 



Length 3 lines. 



PSALANTA. 



Characteres ut in Noemia, sed oculi grosse granulati, 



elongati, transversi, leviter emarginati, supra sub- 



approximati, et femora linearia. 



This genus and the next are well distinguished from 



Noemia by the coarsely granulate eyes. Besides the 



characters given above, another may be mentioned, but
