This species is the largest of the Asiatic species, and comes next to 
Apod. Giraffa in size. From the elongate shape of the head and thorax 
of the 9» ^ is very probable the $ has these parts elongate as in 
Apod, cygneus , longicollis , Giraffa , &c.* 
Rostrum anteriorly flat, polished, posteriorly bicanaliculate, slightly 
depressed. Head having a slight canalicula behind the level of the eyes. 
Thorax anteriorly smooth, slightly canaliculate longitudinally from the 
apex to two-thirds of its length ; posteriorly thinly transversely strigose, 
with the base and its duplicate striga sinuate. Elytra subelongate-

in Mr. Fry’s collection) confirming its place amongst the Cycnolracheli,
