Elongata, nigro-picea, cinereo-sericea. Capite antice angustato, 

 fronte foveola Icviter impresso, rostro supra bicarinato ; anteimis 

 piccis, clava uigrescenti. Thorace levitcr convexo, longitucline haud 

 latiori, antice posticeque paulo angustato, lateribus medio leviter 

 rotundatis ; dorso carina lougitudinali nitida. Elytris basi tboraee i 

 latioribus, fere quadruplo longioribus, medio paulo ampliatis, Icviter 

 jjunctato-striatis, iuterstitiis planis ; humeri^ obtusis ; biugulo elytro

Antenna) moderately long and stout, 1st and 2nd joints of tbc 

 funiculus slightly elongate, sub-equal, tbe 3rd joint shorter, the 4th to 

 7th becoming gradually shorter and slightly transverse. The silky 

 pubescence which covers the head, thorax, and elytra, is fine, and not 

 very close on the former. The elytra strongly embrace the abdomen, 

 and are broadest about the middle, truncate at the base ; the shoulders 

 angular, but obtuse. The tibia? are very slightly flexuous. 



Var. Silky pubescence green, appearing golden in some lights. 



Many examples. 



Agonelttea anqusticollis, sp. n. 



A. longipenni affinis, antennarum funiculo articulis 3 — 7 trans- 

 versis, thorace supra haud cariuato, elytrisque poatice latioribus tantum 

 discrepans. Long. 83 lin. 



This species is extremely close to the j)receding ; but the antennae 

 are shorter, owing to the 3rd to 7th joints of the funiculus being 

 transverse, the 6th and 7th very strongly so. There is no distinct 

 carina on the thorax. The elytra ai'e broadest behind the middle, and 

 are very broadly rounded at their apices. The silky pubescence is 

 yellowish. 



The male is much narrower than the female. 



Four examples.
