1902.] SPIDERS FROM EORXEO AKD SIXGAPORE. 273 



set, the last a single streak ; a series of large submarginal 

 spots, the last of which fuses with the above-mentioned streak, 

 the others partially or completely distinct ; some marginal 

 irregular mottlings. Wing rather deeply scalloped and sub- 

 caudate. Under side pale fuscous ; fore wing, costal area black 

 barred with white, some basal white mottlings, submarginal spots 

 more distinct than on the upper side ; hind witig, some basal 

 white spots, one below the first subcostal nervule, another just 

 below the cell, the subdiscal series very indistinct, the sub- 

 marginal series of large spots distinct, a mai-ginal mottled band 

 of transverse streaks far more pronounced than on the upper 

 side, inner margin blackish barred with white. Cilia white and 

 fuscous alternately. Expanse 80 mm. 



2 . Upper side paler fuscous, markings as in the male ; imder side 

 as in the male but the markings more difi'use. Expanse 93 mm. 



Hab. Mt. Penrissen, Sarawak. 



Types in the Sarawak Museum. 



The nearest ally of the species appears to be U. lutescens (Butl.). 



2. COLEOPTERA LoNGIOORNIA, byO. J. GaHAN. 



Zelota, gen. nov. [3£esosinarum). 



Head deeply concave between the divergent antenniferous 

 tubers ; front slightly convex, narrowed between the eyes ; gente 

 long and somewhat swollen ; eyes divided, rather finely facetted. 

 Antenn* of the male scarcely longer than the body ; scape stout, 

 subclavate, furnished at its apex with a short spine behind and a 

 narrow cicatrix in front, the latter completely bounded by a 

 projecting rim ; third joint slender, slightly curved, nearly twice 

 as long as the first or fourth, armed at the apex with a sharp 

 spine; 5th to 11th joints very short, together scarcely longer 

 than the 4th; last five or six joints thickly fringed with long 

 hairs underneath, the remaining joints being sparsely ciliate. 

 Prothorax transverse, rounded and unarmed at the sides. Meso- 

 notum without stridulating area, arcuately emaiginate in front. 

 Elytra but little longer than their conjoined width, prominent at 

 the shoulders, broadly rounded at the apex ; each furnished a 

 little behind the base with a very prominent ridge, surmounted 

 by a tuft of long hairs tapering to a point in imitation of a spine. 

 Prosternum strongly arched, almost vertically sloped behind. 

 Mesosternum short and horizontal behind, subvertical in front. 

 Legs subequal in length ; femora fusiform ; middle tibiag without 

 notch on outer margin ; claws of tarsi divergent. 



This new genus comes near Cacico (Pasc.) in the group or sub- 

 family Mesosince ; and in the same section with it should be placpd 

 the genera Planodes (Newm.) and Calymmophis (Thorns.), which 

 Lacordaire, on insufiicient grounds, withdrew from the Mesosince, 

 assigning them a place in his "groupe" Monohammides. The 

 genus Ereis (Pasc), which was treated by him in the same way, 

 should also be restored to the Mesosince, finding a place near the 

 genus Mesosa.
