376 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on Longicorn Coleoptera. 



tured, irregular at the sides, but without a tubercle, the centre 

 with two longitudinal impressions ; scutellum slightly trans- 

 verse, the sides parallel ; elytra with much larger punctures 

 than those on the prothorax, and small punctures in the inter- 

 vals, the sides anteriorly with a large indistinct blotch, the 

 apex of each produced on each side into a well-marked tooth- 

 like tubercle ; underparts paler, slightly spotted. 



Xynenon larvatus. 



X. pallide griseo-pubescens, supra fusco nigroque variegatus ; an- 

 tennis articulo quinto nigro, reliquis (octavo excepto) subni- 

 grescentibus. Long. 6J-7 lin. 



Hab. Andaman Isles. 



Head very transverse in front ; antennae about two thirds 

 as long as the body, rather stoutish, but slighter towards the 

 tip, fifth joint entirely black, the rest darkish (variable) ; pro- 

 thorax somewhat transverse, the lateral tubercle very small, 

 two narrow brown central stripes with paler stripes at the 

 sides ; elytra finely and irregularly punctured anteriorly, two 

 black dashes on each at the base, and a roundish black patch 

 on each side behind the middle, its ]josterior margin very 

 irregular ; underparts and legs uniformly greyish. 



Nearly the same form as X, Bondu\ but the elytra more 

 convex posteriorly, and, as a specific character, differing re- 

 markably from that species in that the intermediate tibise are 

 emarginate externally and pilose. 



Mtspila auffuralts. 



M. leviter pubcscens, fusca, uigro subvariegata, maculis parvis niveia 

 ornata ; antennis (articulisduobus basalibus exceptis) nigris, tertio 

 et sequentibus basi griseis. Long. 7 lin. 



Hah. Andaman Islands. 



This species wants the curvilinear white line of M. venosa 

 and M. curvilinea ; but it has the annulated antennae of the 

 former. On the prothorax the black pubescence forms a sort of 

 ring, in the middle of which are two small crescentic spots ; 

 the elytra, gradually narrowing from the shoulders, are irre- 

 gularly punctured at the base ; a few dark spots, principally 

 in the middle on each side, are approximated so as to 

 look almost like a single patch ; and this is delicately picked 

 out at the margin with a few white sublinear spots ; a 

 similar patch occurs also at the base and apex. Antennje 

 of the male more than half as long again as the body, fringed 

 beneath.
