278 MR. R. SHELFORD ON MIMETIC INSECTS AND [Nov. 4, 
open behind. Mesosternum much broader than the prosternum ; 
acetabula of middle cox open to the epimera. Metathoracic 
episterna rather broad in front, narrowed behind. Femora 
pedunculate at base, gradually thickened into a fusiform club 
towards the distal end. Hind legs much longer than either of 
the anterior pairs ; first joint of hind tarsi longer than the three 
succeeding joints together. Abdomen normal, its intercoxal 
process rather broad, and obtuse in front. 
This genus, which I was at first inclined to refer to Lacordaire’s 
group Psebiine, seems to me, on fuller consideration of its 
characters, to be better placed in the Vecydaline, although it 
differs from other members of this group in having no anterior 
prolongation of the head, the front from the interantennary ridge 
to the clypeal suture being relatively very short, and the clypeus 
searcely broader than the labium. The Psebiine have certain 
Cee , wanting to the present genus, which point to an affinity 
with the Auvesine and Methiine, and, through those groups, with 
the @mine. 
PSEBENA BREVIPENNIS, sp. n. (Plate XIX. fig. 12, 2.) 
Capite, prothorace, elytris ad basin, articulo primo antennarum 
et pedibus quatuor anterioribus rufo-testaceis ; metasterno 
medio testaceo, lateraliter fusco ; abdomine medio et pedun- 
culis femorum posticorum pallide testaceis ; ceteris nigro-fuscis 
aut nigris. 
Long. 13-16 mm. 
Hab. Kuching in Sarawak, Sept. 29 and Dee. 4, 1899. Two 
female examples ; in British Museum and Hope Oollecnan! Oxford. 
Head, prothorax, first joint of the antenne, the four anterior 
legs, and the base of the elytra testaceous red. Metasternum 
testaceous in the middle, dark brown at the sides. Abdomen 
pale testaceous along the ventral surface from the base to the last 
segment, this segment and the lateral borders being, like the 
upper side, brownish black. Hind legs also black, with the 
femoral stalks pale testaceous or nearly white. The head and 
prothorax are covered with a very faint reddish pubescence, but 
the prothorax has two slightly 1 ‘aised areas on each side bare of 
pubescence. The inner portion of each elytron near the base is 
very closely punctul ite and covered with a faint pubescence, the 
outer and apical parts being sparsely punctulate and more glossy.
