Elaphidion (Aneflus) lengi, new species. 



Dark piceous, almost black, elongate; thorax and elytra clothed with short, not 

 densely placed cinereous hairs. Head coarsely and densely punctate. Antennae 

 slightly longer than the body in the male ; third, fourth and fifth joints distinctly cari- 

 nate, the following joints scarcely so ; the joints from the third to the sixth spinous 

 on one side, the spines not long and, as usual, gradually diminishing in size. Thorax 

 slightly longer than wide ; sides feebly subangulate and slightly constricted near base ; 

 disk coarsely and densely punctate, a narrow, elongate, smooth median space and 

 two, more or less distinct, rounded, smooth spots on each side of middle. Elytra 

 wider at base than the thorax and about four times as long as the thorax ; sides 

 almost parallel ; apex emarginate -truncate ; surface moderately coarsely punctate near 

 base, punctures, as usual, gradually finer and sparser towards apex. Metasternum 

 coarsely punctate ; abdomen sparsely and finely punctuate. Tibiae carinate. Length 

 12 mm. 



Huachuca Mts., Arizona, one male collected by E. A. Oslar, and 

 kindly given me by Mr. Chas. W. Leng, to whom I take pleasure in 

 dedicating this species. 



From the smaller species with more or less carinate antennal joints, 

 placed at present in the genus Aneflus, lengi differs in the much darker, 

 more shining surface, the relatively short spine on the third antennal 

 joint and the more or less distinct smooth spots or callosities on each 

 side of the smooth median line.

Mr. Leng in one of the meetings of the New York Entomological 

 Society called attention to a paper on North American Cerambycidae 

 by C. J. Gahan, published in the Annals and Magazine of Natural 

 History, Ser. 8, Vol. I, p. 140. The changes and new names pro- 

 posed in this paper by Mr. Gahan will be found in the minutes of the 

 Society in Vol. XVI, p. 242, Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc, except the fol- 

 lowing which is omitted and of which I give the note in full for the 

 benefit of those not having access to the publication.

xxxv, fig. 2, and index (1773)- 



This species is omitted from the Catalogue of Gemminger and 

 Harold, and appears to have escaped the notice of North American 

 entomologists. Drury' s figure and description of it are so good as 

 to leave no reason to doubt that it is a North American species of 

 Monohammus, identical with M. confusor, Kirby. The latter name, 

 being much later in date, must go as a synonym."
