on each side. The Scutellum is somewhat elongated, the 

 sides parallel. The Legs have the femora compressed, espe- 

 cially above ; the tibise are much compressed, slender at the 

 base, getting thicker towards the middle, and from that to 

 the end wide, with the sides parallel. The tarsi are very 

 wide. The elytra are strongly angled, almost aculeated on 

 the shoulders, rounded and simple at the end. 



This genus comes close to Cerosterna, Dejean, Serville, 

 with which and Batocera it has several characters in 

 common, as well as a general resemblance. 



Of this genus I have only seen one species, which in the 

 Annals and Magazine of Natural History (Vol. XVIII), is 

 amed in compliment to Hugh Low, Esq., the author of 

 this work, who found it in Borneo.

Of a rich brown, slightly tinged with ochraceous; the 

 hairs on the antennae are of a very dark brown or black ; 

 the scutellum is of a pale yellow ; the base of the elytra is 

 finely verrucose above, the small warts not extending to the 

 middle, but running further along the outer margin than 

 they do towards the suture. The length of the specimen is 

 1 inch and 8| lines.

This fine species of Stag beetle has longer jaws than any
