Head sparsely punctured, the punctures becoming closer and rougher behind the eyes. Pro- sternum, the sides of the prouotum and the episterna of the mesothorax very finely and closely punctured in the S; the sides of the prouotum in the 5 strongly punc- tured and slightly opaque ; the pro- sternum nearly smooth. Elytra more or less thickly and distinctly punctured, each with a rather broad but shallow longitudinal depression ou the posterior half, close to the lateral costa. Femora smooth, tibiae slightly punctate. Length 24-34 mm. Hah. Andaman Islands ; Fig. 11.—Xeoprion paran drcpformis, Lacord., ^. Group MACROTOMim. Eyes entire, or but feebly sinuate in front. Ligula entire. Prothorax crenulate, denticulate, or spinulose along each side. First antennal joint long, or modei-ately long, never very short. Intercoxal process of presternum more or less flat and hori- zontal. Legs more or less spiny. A sexual difference in the punctui'ation of the thorax genei'ally present and often very strongly marked. In this group I include two of Lacordaire's groups—the Rem- ^jhamdes and Macrotomides ; the first is distinguished as follows :— The third antennal joint not longer than the first, the prothoracic lateral margins distant from the prosterual sutures and the epi- pleures of the elytra strongly widened out near the base; in the true 2Iacrotomkles the third antennal joint is aluays lono-er, generally very much longer, than the first, the prothoracic margins are not very distant from the prosterual sutures and the elytral epipleures are little widened near the base.
