20 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on nexo Coleoptera. 



panion in my collection has eleven -jointed antennse, as also 

 has one specimen in the British Museum. 



Cediocera. 



Diuro affinis, sed corpus esquamosum, prothorax sulcatus, antennas 

 ll-articulatse, longiores, lineares, et coxge anticse separatee. Ros- 

 trum apice angustum. FAytra canaliculata. Femora basi at- 

 tenuata. 



To these it may be added that the last three joints of the 

 anterinse are much the longest; but I am not disposed to 

 place much reliance on their relative length as a generic 

 character. The females have the apical half of the rostrum 

 much more slender than in Diarus. 



Cediocera longicornis. (PL I. fig. 5.) 



0. anguste elongata, fusco-ferruginea, regione suturali nigro-fusea ; 

 antennis in mare ad apicem abdominis extensis. Long. 13 lin. 



Hah. Andaman. 



Long and narrow, ferruginous brown, the sutural region 

 dark brown ; head with a shallow groove in the middle 

 extending to the apex of the rostrum ; antennae extending to 

 the apex of the abdomen, the basal joint pyriform, the second 

 to the seventh of equal length, the last three much, and 

 gradually, longer ; prothorax reticulate-punctate at the sides, 

 especially near the base ; elytra striate-punctate, the inter- 

 stices raised ; the tail very slender and nearly as long as the 

 rest of the elytra ; body beneath pitchy, smooth ; legs slender • 

 first joint of the tarsi nearly as long as the rest together.
