Prothorax feebly rounded at the sides, marked with a transverse groove near the apex and two narrow grooves near the base, the anterior of these two sinuous, the posterior nearly ti-ansverse ; disc with an oblong smooth space, not always well defined, extending from the sinuate basal groove up to the middle and limited on each side by a longitudinal impression; the rest of the upper surface between the apical and basal grooves covered with strong irregular ridges. Elytra separately rounded at the apex, armed each with a short spine at the suture. Inter- ocular space on the ventral side of the head densely and finely punctate and thinly pubescent; this punctate space, which is somewhat concentric in shape, is depressed an- teriorly and preceded by a sinuately transverse ridge, m front of \\'hich is a groove. The intercoxal pro- cess of prosternum forms an arch which reaches almost to a level with the cosce in the middle ; it is slightly canaliculate along the middle and very feebly protuberant posteriorly. Length 5S-78; breadth 17-23 mm. Hah. Mysore: Banga- lore ; Burma; Siam; Singa- pore. 122. Neocerambyx gran- dis, Gahun, (G) vii, p. 20 (1891).
