510 shuckard's descriptions of 



linear, transverse, ciliated anteriorly : mandibles moderate, forci- 

 pate : eyes large, deeply emarginate in front, occupying the whole 

 of the sides of the head, and subcontiguous both above and be- 

 neath : antennae 11-jointed, longer than the body, very slender; 

 the first joint rather the longest, and clavate ; the second very 

 minute ; the remainder cylindrical, subequal, and the three first 

 of these slightly nodose at their extremity, and all covered with a 

 close pubescence : thorax scarcely longer than the head, cylindri- 

 cal, or but slightly attenuated in front : legs moderately long and 

 slender ; femora clavate, and of about the same length as the 

 tibiae, which are exceedingly slender ; the first joint of the inter- 

 mediate and posterior tarsi much longer than the rest united, and 

 the third or penultimate, which is bilobate and spongy beneath, 

 the smallest : elytra linear, nearly twice the length of the head 

 and thorax combined. 



The name is from arlcpavoc, a coronet, and wt//, an eye, in 

 allusion to the eyes encircling the head. 



Sp. 1. Steph. nasutus. Shuck. Fuscus, capite et thorace 

 fusco-nigris. (Length 10 lin.; lat. 1^ lin.) 



Entirely fuscous, excepting the head and thorax, which are much 

 darker ; it is slightly covered with a very short yellowish pubes- 

 cence, easily abraded, and opaque, excepting where rubbed, and 

 at the apex of the rostrum, which is glabrous, and has a few 

 scattered punctures: the thorax is delicately transversely wrinkled 

 beneath, and between the posterior pair of legs there is a deep 

 central longitudinal channel, which extends forwards half way 

 towards the intermediate coxse. 



This remarkably slender and cylindrical insect is from Van 

 Dieman's Land. It will not enter into any of Serville's genera, 

 but comes into the first division of the second subtribe of his 

 Cerambycini.
