The three species above named are sufficiently characterised by the 

 synopsis. E. punctatum we have not seen. 



Note. — I shall be glad to see any specimens of Elophidion which d<> 

 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 recognition 

 in these columns. Such may be sent to Mr. ("has. W. Leng, P.O. Box

ANEFLUS, Lev. 



This genus is rendered necessary for certain species which complete- 

 ly resemble the elongate forms of Elaphidion [suhpubescens etc. ) in ap- 

 pearance, but differ by having the joints of the antennae from the 5th 

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



SYNOPSIS OF ANEFLUS. 



Prothorax distinctly dilated, and feebly angulated on the sides; elytra bispinose at 

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

 angular; 



Very large, spines of antenna? moderately long protensus. 



Prothorax cylindrical, sides nearly straight; 



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

 last joint not dilated; 

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



numerous linearis. 



Third joint of an term re with spine much longer; 



Elytra emarginate at tip, flying hairs of tibia.- 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- 

 nas 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.
