Longicornia Malay ana. 679 



Wallace^s collection, and JE. sinicum, White, from which 

 it is distinguished, inter alia, by the narrower and longer 

 prothorax, and the more oblong and very decidedly 

 narrower scutellum. ^. cingalense, Wh., has longer 

 posterior tarsi, and the prothorax spined at the sides. 

 The female differs in her shorter antennae. 



JSgosoma marginale. 



Ceramhyx marginalis, Fabricius, Ent. Syst. ii. 264. 



^. testaceo-brunneum, pube grisea dense vestitum; 

 prothorace modice transverse ; scutello angustato. 



Hah. — Macassar; Bouru; Amboyna (and Malacca, and 

 Hong Kong). 



Testaceous-brown, with a close-set short grayish 

 pubescence ; prothorax a little broader than long, very 

 convex and regular above, the sides entire and rounded ; 

 scutellum oblong, narrow; elytra with a very narrow 

 distinct black border at their outer and sutural edges, 

 each with four slightly elevated pubescent lines; body 

 beneath, and legs, reddish-brown, moderately pubes- 

 cent; antennee with the third joint as long as the two 

 next together in both sexes. 



Length (d") 16 lines; (?) 18 lines. 



Nepiodes.

Characteres fere ut in JEgosomate, sed mandihulce lon- 

 giores; oculi majores, supra approximati; antennce 

 ( (J ) corpore vix longiores, depressee, haud scabrosse, 

 scapo breviori, articulo tertio duobus sequentibus 

 conjunctim breviori; protlwrax transversim quad- 

 ratus ; elytra minora, minus convexa. 



Closely allied to the last, differing principally in its 

 large and approximate eyes, and in the antennge. The 

 female is unknown. The type is very like the JEgosoma 

 sulcipenne of White.
