border ; of tlie lateral ones, one is anterior and the other median. The rest of the 

 thorax and abdomen is finely granulated, with scarcely a trace of a longitudinal carina. 

 Front femora beneath with one large and one small tooth before the extremity of the 

 outer ridge, which is produced into a sharji spike ; middle femora with a large tooth 

 towards the extremity on each ridge, followed by four small ones on the inner, and two 

 small ones on tlie outer ridge ; hind femora with two or three small teeth on each side 

 before the extremity. First joint of tarsi flattened, depressed, not much longer than 

 tlie two following joints on all the legs. The left middle leg is deformed, being shorter 

 than the other, only imperfectly dentated, and with only four joints to the tarsi.

Closely allied to L. brecipes. Gray, from Malabar, but differs in the character of the 

 toothing of the middle femora. The other femora are also more strongly toothed. The 

 abdominal appendages are nearly similar. 



LONCHODES NIGROPUNCXATUS, Sp. n. 



Female. Cylindrical, brownish grey ; clypeus and labrum smooth, yellowish ; two black 

 tubercles or short horns on the vertex behind the antennae, rather wide apart ; between 

 them commences a carina which extends to the extremity of the body, all parts of which 

 are irregularly covered with black granulations, largest on the head, behind the horns. 

 Several of the divisions between the segments are spotted with black on each side of the 

 median carina. Prothorax scarcely as long as the head, Avith the lateral ridges very 

 distinct. Antennae long, blackish above, except at the base ; basal joint very large, 

 compressed, and pubescent ; second joint longer and broader than the following 

 ones. Legs long ; middle legs rather shorter than the rest ; all the femora very 

 slightly dentated at the extremity of the middle carina. First joint of all the tarsi 

 slightly compressed, but not dilated, as long or longer than all the rest put together. 

 Median segment about one-fourth of the length of the metanotum, cut off straight 

 in front. Seventh segment of abdomen rather shorter than the preceding ones, 

 but about as long as the three terminal segments together. Segment 8 rather longer 

 than 9 ; 10 about as long as 9, slightly concave above, and produced into a short point 

 at the sides.
