The lobate, undentated, middle and hind femora distinguish this from any other 

 species of the genus before me. 



LONCHODES BaTESII, Sp. n. 



Female. Cylindrical, brown (colours evidently altered), granulated. Head above 

 grooved, the groove passing between the black points on the vertex between the eyes ; 

 outside these are a pair of larger tubercles or short horns, outside Avhich subsidiary 

 grooves rmi obliquely to the central one. At the back of the head are likewise four 

 rather larger tubercles ; the central groove runs between the inner ones, and beyond the 

 outer ones other grooves run, slightly diverging, to the eyes ; below these is a row of 

 three small tubercles behind the eyes. Prothorax about as long as the head, with a 

 central groove and two transverse ones, one in front and the other about the middle; and 

 there are also two lateral grooves. The central groove is bordered on both sides, and the 

 lateral ones above, with rows of tubercles. At the back of the prothorax are two oblong 

 black spots in the middle, and a black dot on each side beyond them. The rest of the 

 thorax and the abdomen are not grooved, but carinated, along the median line. Antennae 

 long, setaceous, very finely pubescent, blackish at the extremities of the joints. Front 

 legs long, slightly compressed ; femora with the basal third irregularly serrated above, 

 and a row of fine blackish teeth at the extremity beneath, preceded by a larger tooth. 

 First joint of the tarsi (which is as long as the remaining joints without the claws) 

 black, as are likewise the rest of the tarsi. Intermediate and hind legs much shorter ; 

 femora with larger black terminal serrations and preceding lobe, but smooth above ; 

 tibiae with a lobe beneath towards the base ; tarsi black, except the greater part of the 

 first joint, which is much shorter than in the front legs. 



The blackish apical portion of the middle and hind femora is preceded by a pale band, 

 probably yellow in the living insect.

LONCHODES VIRGATUS, Sp. n. 



Male. Cylindrical, brown, rather slender. Head granulated, not grooved, with two
