elevated, its apex slightly passing the posterior angle of the 

 inner tegminal margin, the whole pronotum more or less 

 distinctly, thickly, finely punctate. 



Long. 64 mm. 



Hab. Borneo ; Mt. Kina Balu {J. C. Moulton). 



Apart from the different coloration, this species is to be 

 separated from P. kinabalense by the narrower and much 

 more strongly and straightly erected protuberance of the 

 posterior pronotal process. 



Hybandoides, gen. no v. 



Allied to the Oriental genus Hybanda, Dist., but differing 

 in having the anterior pronotal process directed forwardly, 

 compressed, and not apically lobed or foliaceous, the posterior 

 pronotal process slender, laterally and centrally carinate, 

 attenuated towards apex and about reaching the posterior 

 angle of the inner tegminal margin ; tibia? moderately dilated. 



Type, H. horizontalis, Dist. 



Hybandoides horizontalis, sp. n. 



Head, pronotum, body beneath, and legs pale fuscous brown, 

 somewhat thickly, finely, more palely pilose ; tegmina 

 brownish-ochraceous, the apical cells paler, more greyish 

 and speckled with dark fuscous ; anterior pronotal process 

 broad, compressed, directed almost horizontally forward, the 

 apex broad, roundly truncate and slightly recurved, the 

 posterior process slender as described in the oeneric diao-nosis • 

 in some specimens there are indications of some very small 

 greyish spots on the tegmina; tibise distinctly dilated. 



Long. 8ijr mm. 



Hab. Borneo ; Mt. Kina Balu (J. C. Moulton and Coll. 

 Buckton). 



In this species the anterior pronotal process varies con- 

 siderably in length, in some instances being so short as to 

 suggest another species ; but in the series now before me a 

 gradual gradation is observable.
