264 MR. F. P. PASCOE ON THE COLEOPTERA OF PENANG. [May S, 



Head rather transverse in front ; antennary tubers short, distant. 

 Eyes moderate, deeply divided. Antennae shorter than the body, 

 sublinear, the scape subcylindrical, as long or a little longer than 

 the third joint, the fourth and fifth equal and shorter, the last six 

 very short, all nearly cylindrical, except the last, which is ovate and 

 pointed. Prothorax quadrate, regular, not broader than the head. 

 Elytra cuneate, much broader than the prothorax at the base, the 

 sides abruptly declivous, the angle scarcely forming a carina, the 

 apex subtruncate. Legs moderate, slender ; the intermediate tibiae 

 entire ; tarsi with the basal joint short ; claws obtusely toothed at 

 the base. Anterior acetabula slightly angulated. Pro- and meso- 

 sterna rounded. 



The peculiar shortening of the terminal joints of the antennae (as 

 in many Apomecynince) will readily distinguish this genus, which in 

 style of coloration bears a striking resemblance to the last (Tany- 

 lecta). The two specimens before me appear to be females ; almost 

 as a matter of course, therefore, the toothed claws will characterize 

 both sexes, not the male sex only, as it appears to do generally in 

 Glenea. 



ZOSNE CINCTICORNIS. (PI. XXVIII. fig. 1 1.) 



Z. nigra, subnitida, lineis maculisque albo pubescentibus ornata ; 

 antennis albis, medio et apice nigris. 



Black, nearly glabrous, subnitid, with lines and spots of short 

 white hairs ; head with two central white lines on the vertex, an- 

 other behind the eye, the front and cheeks white ; lines on the head 

 continued on the prothorax, the central, however, contiguous, the 

 intervals sparsely pubescent and rather finely punctured ; scutellum 

 white, densely pubescent ; elytra coarsely punctured, with numerous 

 irregular white spots ; body beneath with a white silvery pile, the 

 sterna striped with black, two blackish spots on the side of each 

 abdominal segment ; legs and antennae with a close greyish-white 

 pubescence, the latter a little longer than half the length of the 

 body, and having the upper half of the fourth and the whole of 

 the fifth and eleventh joints black. Length 8 lines.
