towards the apex; densely, minutely punctate, and also finely 

 punctato-striate to near the apex, the interstices faintly raised 

 externally. Pygidium emarginate at tip. Legs long, stout; basal 

 joint of anterior tarsi nearly as broad as the tibiae. 

 Length 6J mm. 



Hob. Borneo {Wallace). 



Three males found by Wallace are possibly referable to 

 M. major, Pic, from N. Borneo ; but there are various 

 discrepancies in the description (" stries presque nulles," 

 etc.), and the length is given as 5-7 mm. The species is 

 recognisable by the long, obconic, sharply sulcate basal 

 portion of the head, the very slender antennae (the outer 

 joints included), the very long, oval, rough prothorax, the 

 finely punctato-striate elytra, etc. It is of about the same 

 size as M. robusta, cirrata, and dilaticollis. The structure 

 of the head is remarkable. In the Museum there is also 

 a specimen from Java (now without a head) that may 

 belong to the same species ? 



19. Maeratria dilaticollis, n. sp. (Plate LXIV, fig. 18, <$.) 



Elongate, robust, rather broad, dull (till denuded), the head 

 shining, thickly clothed with long, adpressed, greyish hairs, the 

 head and antennae with scattered, erect or projecting, bristly hairs ; 

 reddish-brown or brown, the metasternum darker, the head rufous, 

 the antennae, mouth-parts, palpi, and legs testaceous, the posterior 

 pair in great part, and the extreme bases of the tibiae of the other 

 pairs, more or less infuscate. Head rather large, rounded at the 

 sides posteriorly, subtruncate at the base, sparsely, minutely 

 punctate, the occipital groove deep, short, the eyes very large; 

 antennae long, slender, joints 9-11 elongated and thickened, 11 one- 

 half longer and much stouter than 10, strongly acuminate. Pro- 

 thorax broader than the head, somewhat flattened on the disc, oval, 

 much narrowed in front and behind, densely, roughly granulato- 

 punctate, the basal groove complete. Elytra very little wider 

 than the prothorax, long, perceptibly narrowing from the base, 

 closely scabroso-punctate, and also finely punctato-striate to near 

 the apex, the interstices obsoletely costate externally. Pygidium 

 emarginate at tip in J. Legs long, stout, the femora strongly clavate ; 

 basal joint of anterior tarsi much thickened. 



Length 6-6J mm. (^ $.)
