densely and verj' strongly punctuated all over ; tlie shoulders rounded, each apex 

 obliquely rounded ; the suture, the outer marsiii, and a discal carina on each elytron 

 rather strongly and sharply raised ; this discal carina extends from the base to the 

 apex, and is obsolete only at the extreme base and tip. Merasternum shining, 

 rather finely punctulated, the punctures sjiarse in the middle. Abdomen also 

 shining, with few punctures. Femora and tibiae compressed, the latter densely 

 granular. 



Hah. Kuilu (A. Mocquerys, 1892). 



This is the second species of the genus Anocme Gahan ( Tr. E. Soc, 1890, p. 299), 

 whicli is founded on a black species described by Chevrolat under the name Ucme 

 nigrita {Rev. ZooL, 1855, p. 183). 



Named in honour of Mr. Charles J. Gahan, to whose helj) in comparing our 

 species with those of the British Museum collection I owe so very much. 



CERAMBYCINI. 



Saphanidus gen. dov. 



Hirsutus, capite postice coarctato, oculis magnis, genis fere nullis, antennis 

 articulo tertio scapo duplo lougiore, ])rothorace lato, lateribus rotuudatis, meilio 

 spina armatis, elytris parallelis, subconvexis, apicibus singulis acuminatis, processu 

 prosternali brevissimo, coxis anticis coutiguis, coxarum anticarum cavitatibus extns 

 fortiter angulatis, femoribus validis, posticis abdominis apicem fere attingentibus. 



Closely allied to Sap/ianii.'s Laich., from which it differs in the long pubescence, 

 in the longer antennae, the third joint of which is longer than the fourth, in the 

 smaller eyes, which are much more separated underneath, etc. 



17. Saphanidus viridescens sp. nov. 



? . S. infra brunneus, supra obscure viridis, nitidus. Antennae nigro-brunneae, 

 corpore longiores : prothorax longitudine tertia parte latior, disco sat depresso, 

 parum inaequali, lateribus fortiter rotuudatis, medio spina acuta sed brevi armatis; 

 scutellum elongatum, apice rotundato ; elytra subconvexa, pnnctulata, ad apicem 

 fere laevia, lateribus parallelis, postice rotuudatis, apicibus acuminatis, singuliim 

 elytrum disco qninque striis impressis, interstitiis (4) convexis, postice abbreviatis. 

 Prosternum leviter strigulosum, sparsim granulatum : metasternum dense granu- 

 latum ; abdomen sat sparsim ]mnctulatum, segmento quinto ajiice leviter late 

 emarginato ; pedes brunneo-nigri, femora basi et apice extremis excejrtis rnfo- 

 ochracea. 



Long. 18 mm., elytr. 13-i, lat. 4|. 



With a moderately strong and not very dense punctuation ; clothed with 

 blackish brown erect hairs of two lengths. Upper surface dark green, shining, 

 especially of the elytra. Head impressed in front of and behind the anteunary tubers. 

 Antennae dark blackish brown, with the tip of the tenth joint reaching the apex of 

 the elytra, the scape feebly thickened towards the tip, strongly punctured, a little 

 shorter than the fourth joint. Prothorax two-thirds as long as broad ; the disc, 

 uneven, with some faint impressions ; the sides strongly rounded, with a rather thin 

 and sharp tooth in the middle. Scutellum much longer than broad, rather triangular, 

 the apex rounded. Elytra somewhat convex, especially behind ; the ajiex commonly 

 rounded, and proilnced at the suture into a sharj) spine ; each elytron with five 

 longitudinal and slightly impressed stripes and the trace of a sixth, the interstices 

 of which are convex. Under surface brown ; prosternum with fine transverse ridges
