 Hab. Sarawak. 



Allied to the preceding ; but the club, shorter subcordiform 

 elytra more closely punctured, and other characters will readily 

 distinguish it.

 dense griseo-squamosa, nigro maculatim varia, squamis patuliformibus 

 elongatis erectis vage dispersis ; rostro capite cum prothorace paulo 

 longiore, dimidio apicali testaeeo ; antennis subtestaceis ; funiculi 

 articulo secundo prirao paulo longiore ; clava late ovata ; prothorace ob-

A small narrow species remarkable for the length of the pe- 

 duncle of the posterior femora.

 squamosa, squamis spatuliformibus erectis adspersa; rostro capite cum 

 prothorace longiore, basi fusco-squamosa, reliquo nitide ferrugineo, 

 raro punctulato ; antennis ferrugineis ; funiculi articulo primo secundo 

 breviore ; clava late ovata ; prothorace subconico, disco plaga subtri- 

 angulari fusca, ad apicem dilutiore, notato ; elytris basi lateribus sub- 

 parallelis, sulcato-punctatis, plaga magna fusca bene limitata, postice 

 angulato-terminata, ornatis ; femoribus subnebulosis ; tibiis dimidio

Hab. Japan. 



The coloration and short posterior tibiae are the prominent dia- 

 gnostic characters of this species. 



Acicnemis pachymera. A. elliptica, fusca, silaceo-fuscescenti-squa- 

 mosa; squamis spatuliformibus erectis, nonnullis nigris, adspersa; 

 rostro dimidio corporis longiore, nitide piceo, basi squamosa ; antennis 

 piceis ; prothorace subconico, utrinque rotundato, fere obsolete vit- 

 tato ; elytris elongato-cordatis, sulcato-punctatis, interstitiis convexis, 

 rugosis; femoribus, praesertim posticis, valde incrassatis et fortiter 

 dentatis ; tibiis posticis brevibus, intus apicem versus dente acuto in- 

 structs. Long. 4 lin. 



Hab. Laos. 



The angle at the inner edge of the posterior tibia?, nearly want- 

 ing in some species, takes in this the form of a sharp tooth, and 

 is placed not far from the apex. In the preceding its position is 

 nearly the same, but it remains a mere angle.
