except basal joint ; eyes 14} mm.apart. Pronotum cucullate, 
of the form characteristic of the genus, punctate and with 
numerous minute fuscous or castaneous macule. Tegmina 
semicoriaceous, densely serio-punctate between the veins in 
the basal two thirds, in the apical third the punctures merge 
into quadrangular interspaces between numerous reticulated 
interstitial veins, a few minute fuscous dots are scattered 
over the tegmina; mediastinal vein with ten branches; seven 
ramose costal veins ; nine anal veins, the first ramose. Wings 
angulated at the apex as in the genus Derocardia, Sauss. ; 
marginal area testaceous with fuscous spotting at apex, the 
apex semicoriaceous ; mediastinal vein multiramose ; costal 
veins irregular, the interspaces filled by reticulated interstitial 
veins ; ulnar vein with nineteen branches. Supra-anal lamina 
ample, prominent, bilobed ; subgenital lamina semiorbicular ; 
cerci slender and short. Front femora with five spines on 
middle of anterior margin beneath, piliform sete extending 
from them to apex, two spines on posterior margin; mid 
and hind femora with three to four spines on each lower 
margin; formula of apical spines }, +, 4; minute genicular 
spines on mid and hind femora, none on front femora; 
posterior metatarsus shorter than remaining joints, its 
pulvillus produced proximally. 
Length of body 30 mm.; length of tegmina 35 mm. ; pro- 
notum 1] mm. x 12°5 mm.

The species is close to 4. ovyptera, W1k., also from Borneo, 
which exhibits the same characters of punctuation of the 
tegmina; but d. oxyptera is smaller, more rufous in colour, 
the proportions of the pronotum are different and the pro- 
notum is less closely punctate, but more densely covered 
with castaneous dots. Both species can be distinguished 
from A. acutipennis, Sauss., by their larger size.

¢. Rufo-castaneous. Head with four darker markings 
between the eyes; ocelli and clypeus testaceous; antenne 
much longer than the body, first two joints and apical third 
rufo-castaneous, remainder fuscous. Pronotum trapezoidal ;
