8 LYCIDiE. 



the apex; the tenth joint very oblique, a little smaller than the 

 ninth, the eleventh compressed, fusiform. Thorax a little broader 

 than long, somewhat narrowed in front, all the angles distinct but 

 obtuse, with bright red pubescence ; the disk convex, with a deep 

 lanceolate fovea nearly reaching from the anterior to the posterior 

 margins. Elytra very long, with bright red pubescence ; each 

 elytron with three not very distinct narrow costae, the outer one 

 very obsolete. 



There can be no doubt that Micronyclms bimacidatus, Motsch. 

 (Bull. Mosc, 1861, i. p. 138), from Ceylon, is closely allied to 

 C. longipennis. It differs from it in having the forehead clothed 

 with bright red pubescence, the thorax is much longer, the anterior 

 angles are more deilexed, and the lateral fold is not so near the 

 posterior angles. The British-Museum example has the elytra 

 uniform bright red, the costae are not so prominent as in C. longi- 

 pennis.

This species has somewhat the appearance of C. orbatus, but has 

 the elytra more ample posteriorly, less bluntly rounded at the apex, 

 and the thorax is margined all round. The anteunse are nearly as 

 long as the elytra, not very approximate at their base. Clj'peus 

 gently emarginate. Intermediate coxae with a strong acute spine ; 

 the femur with a strong tooth near the base; the intermediate 

 and posterior tibiae strongly curved. The penultimate segment of 

 the abdomen is deeply notched in the middle. 



DEMOSIS. 



Lycus (genus 4), Waterh., Trans. Ent. Sac, 1878, p. 97. 



Antennae short, compact, dentate, of equal width throughout ; the 

 third joint a t.rifle longer than broad, the fourth to tenth joints 

 transverse. Eostrum distinct but short. Thorax rather transverse, 

 quadrangular ; the disk smooth, the margins reflexed. Elytra 

 flattened, subparallel, with moderately distinct costae, the intervals 

 punctured.
