138 PARNIDZ. 
Elytra with very abbreviate series of punctures, and with two raised lines, the inner of 
which, however, does not extend much. more than halfway to the apex; the inner 
interstices are also obscurely elevated at the base. The legs are very long and slender, 
the tarsi being extremely elongate. 
The species is described from a single individual that has been damaged in its 
capture, and which cannot be taken off the card on which it is mounted to examine its 
structure; but it appears to be a quite distinct species. 
8. Elmis nodipes. (Tab. IV. fig. 15.) 
Supra nigro-gneus, nitidus, subtus ferrugineus, antennis pedibusque testaceis, illarum articulo ultimo, harum 
geniculis fuscis; prothorace elongato-oblongo, in medio profunde transversim depresso ; elytris thorace 
multo latioribus, sat fortiter seriatim punctatis, versus latus utrinque lineis duabus parum elevatis, 
interna breviore ; pedibus perclongatis, femoribus in medio crassioribus.

The antenne are short; and the apical joint is broader than the others to such an 
extent as to give the appearance of a very small club. The thorax is remarkably 
elongate ; it isnot at all curved at the sides, but is slightly narrowed in front; across the 
middle there is a deep transverse depression, and at this point the thorax becomes 
conspicuously narrower ; there is no elevated line parallel with the margin, but at the 
base on each side there is a depression, and the surface is obscurely binodose on the 
middle just behind the transverse depression ; there is no punctuation ; and the surface 
is shining, except that it bears a few fine hairs. The scutellum is small, and longer 
than broad. The elytra bear quite distinct series of punctures ; and near the side there 
is an elevated line which is very fine at the base; and internal to this there is a shorter 
and broader, less sharply elevated line. The under surface is impunctate, the sides 
broadly clothed with tomentum, the metasternum with a deep channel in the middle at 
the extremity. The hind coxe are excessively distant. 
9. Klmis longicollis. 
Supra nigro-eneus, nitidus, subtus ferrugineus, antennis (?) pedibusque testaceis, femoribus obscuratis ; pro- 
thorace elongato-oblongo, in medio profunde transversim depresso; elytris thorace multo latioribus, 
subtiliter seriatim punctatis, versus latus utrinque linea valde elevata; pedibus elongatis, femoribus in 
medio crassioribus. 
Long. 2, lat. 2 lin.

This species is extremely similar in appearance to HE. nodipes; but the basal portion 
of the thorax is simply convex, without any distinct elevation or depression, except a 
basal elevated plica in front of the scutellum ; the series of punctures on the elytra are 
fine and the interstices absolutely flat, there being not the least appearance of striation ;
