826. Tricliona longicornis, *p. u. 



Fulvous ; terminal joints of the antennae black. 



Oblong. Head entirely impunctate ; eyes very large, closely 

 approximate at the middle ; clypeus impunctate, separated from 

 the face by deep grooves ; antennae extending to the apex of the 

 elytra, basal four joints fulvous, rest black, third and following 

 joints nearly equal, elongate. Thorax nearly twice as broad as 

 long, of equal width, sides evenly rounded, surface impunctate. 

 Elytra wider at base than the thorax, deeply and strongly punctate- 

 striate, interstices longitudinally costate throughout. Anterior 

 femora strongly thickened, dilated into a small tooth beneath ; 

 claws bifid. 



Length 2^ mm. 



Hal. Ceylon (Coll. Jacoby). 



Very distinct by the more than usually large eyes, long antennae, 

 costate elytra and small size. 



Genus CLEOPORUS.

Body oblong, smooth. Head deflexed, immersed in thorax up to 

 the eyes, these distant, globular, feebly ernarginate, deeply sulcate 

 above ; clypeus transverse, slightly or not separated from the face ; 

 antennas filiform, half the length of the body, basal two joints 

 thickened, third more than twice as long as the second. Thorax 

 much broader than long, convex, sides nearly straight. Prosternum 

 broad, subquadrate. Legs robust ; femora unarmed, moderately 

 thickened ; intermediate strongly, posterior tibiae feebly emarginate 

 at apex ; claws bifid.
