67$ Longicornia Malay ana.

 remainder clear ochre-yellow, the first and second joints

 Length 11 lines. 



^GOSOMATIN^. 



In all the previous groups of Prionidce, the lateral 

 ridges, which separate the pronotum from the flanks of 

 the pro thorax, have been strongly defined, but now the 

 character begins to disappear, the ridge on each side is 

 placed very low down, and in some cases becomes in part 

 obsolete or reduced to a fine line. Of the four genera 

 which compose this subfamily, a very good idea may be 

 formed from the common ^gosoma scahricorne of Europe.

This genus, as it stands at present, cannot be very 

 strictly defined, and what is given above applies more 

 particularly to ^. marginale, the only species in Mr.
