EUDEOMITS LUCIDIPENNIS. 



Niger, politus, sub-opal escens : thorace stth-cordato, angulis posticis 



rotundatis, Icevissimo, sulcis trihiis modice impressis : elytris elongato-ovatis, 



humeris nullis, carina laterali valde elevata costisque utrinque quinque 



ohsoletis, apice simplicibus : tarsis {$) omnibus subtus dense setosis. 



Long. 15 lin., S • 



Very distinct from tlie allied species by tHe polisli o£ its surface, 

 wMch. appears as though varnished, and above has opalescent reflections. 

 The elytra are destitute of humeral angles, which are more completely 

 obliterated even than in Eu. striatocoUis. The eyes are rather more 

 prominent than in that species, and the posterior orbits less tumid. 

 The thorax is sub-cordate, but much less sinuated and narrowed behind 

 than in Eu. striatocoUis ; there is, however, a distinct sinuation in the 

 sides, preceding the blunt and almost rounded hind angles ; the surface 

 has a long shallow groove (the prolongation of the basal fovea) on each 

 side the dorsal furrow. The lateral carinse of the elytra are so pro- 

 minent, that the epipleurse towards the base are almost vertical ; they 

 are also reflexed, making the sides of the elytra! surf ace longitudinally 

 concave ; the interstices between the indistinct costae are excessively 

 smooth and glossy. 



Madagascar : one example, ^ , for which I am indebted to Mr. 

 George Lewis. 



ANTHEIBOLA, nov. gen. {Lepturidce) . 



Gen. Sagrldolse affinis. Caput elongatum, ante oculos rostriforme, hand 

 dilatatum : tubera antennifera hand elevata, fronte subplana ; oculi ovati, 

 haud emarginati, oblique positi, prominuU, subtilissime granulati. Antennae 

 corpore breviores ( ? ?) graciles, filiformes, media fronte longe ante oculos 

 inserti ; articnlo basali fere lineari quam 2 — 4 conjunctis longiori. Thorax 

 sub camp anuliformis, ut in Lepturis, sed dorso leviter bigibboso. Elytra tri- 

 gona, ad sutures apicem paullulum dehiscentia, apice sinuato-truncata, extus 

 spinosa. Pedes sub-breves, robusti, femora intermedia et postica subtus acute 

 dentata ; tibice rectce, tarsi haud elongati. 



A remarkable form, much resembling Sagridola, but differing in 

 the elongated parallel rostrum and slender antennae, wdth elongated 

 scape, &c. 



S. DECOEATUS. 



Supra ochraceo-pubescens, capite thoraceque supra vittis duabus, elytris 

 fascia sub-basal i macular i, alteraque postmediana utroque disco postice dila- 

 tata, humeris et marginibus nigris ; epipleuris nudis nitidis, testaceo-fulvis ; 

 pedibus antennisque nigris. Long. 9 lin., ? ?.
