with a sparse greyish pubescence, and three strongly-marked

 joints white ; antennae of the male twice as long as the body,

Mecocej-us simulator. 



M. griseo-fuscus, cinereo-varius ; elytris rufo-brunneis cinereo-macu- 



latis ; antennis maris vix corpore longioribus. 

 Hah. Borneo. 



Finely tomentose, greyish brown varied with ashy ; rostrum 

 with a sparse greyish pubescence, and three strongly-marked 

 costpe, the lateral one interrupted near the apex ; prothorax with 

 a slight impression on each side anteriorly ; elytra punctato- 

 striate, reddish brown, sparingly spotted with grey, a small 

 tubercle on each posteriorly ; legs black, one or two spots on the 

 tibiae and the first and last tarsal joints white at their bases ; 

 antennae of the male only a little longer than the body ; beneath 

 with a pale greyish pubescence. Length 5 lines. 



These two species are related to M. disparipes, Imh. ; and the 

 males appear to have the thorax unarmed. The Macrocephalus 

 varicgatus of Olivier, which Schonherr, not having seen it,referred 

 to his genus Ptychoderes, appears to me to belong undoubtedly 

 to Mecocerus. It is from Amboyna.

 dually dilated below, the apex entire. Antennae short, arising 

 from an oblong shallow groove midway between the eye and 

 root of the mandible; the first joint longer than the second, 

 tumid, the rest of the funiculus slender ; the club moderately 

 thick; the joints attenuated at the base. Eyes approximate, 

 round, entire. Labrum short, transverse. Mandibles long, 

 strongly toothed. Palpi elongate, stout, subacuminate. Pro-

 tellum transverse, subtriangular. Elytra widest at the base. 

 Legs of moderate length, the anterior longest ; the first tarsal 

 joint longer than the rest together. Mcsosternum short, trans- 

 verse.
