NoTK. — I shall be glad to see any specimens o{ Elaphidion which do 

 not fall within the descriptions above given, or which seem to intergrade 

 between them. Quite large series have served on the whole to confirm 

 Dr. Leconte's views on this genus and specimens needing special atten- 

 tion will be therefore very interesting and meet with prompt recogniti<»n 

 in these columns. Such may be sent to Mr. Chas. \V. T^eng, P.O. Ho.x

ANEFLUS, Zee-. 



This genus is rendered necessary for certain species which complete- 

 ly resemble the elongate forms of ElaphvUon [subpubescens etc.) in ap- 

 pearance, but differ by having the joints of the antennae from the stli 

 flattened and distinctly carinate along the middle of the flat sides. 



SYNOPSIS OF ANEFLUS. 



Trothora.x distinctly dilated, and feebly angulated on the sides; elytra bispinose at 

 tip; hind tibiae scarcely carinate; palpi unequal, with the last joint dilated, tri- 

 angular; 



Very large, .spines of antennae moderately long protensus. 



Prothorax cylindrical, sides nearly straight; 



Third joint of antennse with a spine a little longer than that of 4th joint; palpi witli 

 last joint not dilated; 

 Elytra emarginate at tip, slightly bispinose, flying hairs of tibia long, not very 



numerous linearis. 



Third joint of antennae with spine much longer; 



Elytra emarginate at tip, flying hairs of tibine not conspicuous, palpi with last 



joint not dilated tenuis. 



Elytra truncate at tip, suture more prominent, flying hairs of tibiae long, numer- 

 ous; palpi very unequal, with last joint triangular, dilated; (antennal cari- 



nae obsolete) ' volitans. 



Antennal joints 3 — 6 with short spines, distinctly carinate; apex of elytra with two 

 long spines; last joint of palpi elongate, triangular prolixus.
