vix discoidalis vix lateralis pone medium sita : abdomen muri- 



num; pedibus concoloribus. (Corp. long. '35 unc. lat. "1 unc.) 



For the genus Xylotoles see Entomol. p. 12 : the little insect now 



described appears intermediate between Xylotoles and Apomecina : 



■ the Saperda lyncea and S. grisea of Fabricius are referrible to the 



present genus. The remainder of the longicoms in this collection 



are so much discoloured, broken, or otherwise injured, that I cannot 



venture on giving them technical characters. 



118. (Microlophia) ignava. (Corp. long. '5 unc. lat. '1 unc.) 



The antennje are 11-jointed, longer than the body and very slender; they appear 

 to have been brown, the base of each joint paler : the face is short, gibbose, sulcated, 

 and furnished with black and rather rigid hairs; the eyes are large, notched, but not 

 nearlj separated at the base of antennae : the prothorax is twice as long as the head, 

 and has a lateral tuber on each side rather beyond the middle ; except at this point it 

 is narrower than the head : the elytra are wider than the prothorax ; they are flattened, 

 and eich has a small but very distinct crest of black hairs near its base ; their ex- 

 tremity is obliquely truncate : the legs ai'e moderately long, and the thighs slightly 

 inciassated. The colour is dark brown, but I am inclined to think this attributable 

 to it? being saturated with spirit, as there are obvious traces of great variety of colour- 

 ing. It belongs to the Lamiidae. 



119. ( J pellucida. (Corp. long. "5 unc. lat. "15 unc.) 



The antennae are broken ; the portion left is very slender ; they appear to have 

 been longer than the body, semi-pellucid, and of a pale obscure testaceous colour, ex- 

 cept the basal joint, which is black at its base : the eyes are large and deeply indented 

 i.t the base of the antenna : the head is deeply notched between the antennae : the 

 jrothorax is about of equal length and breadth, the sides a little rounded, not toothed, 

 and its dorsal surface marked by a deep impressed transverse posterior line : the elytra 

 are broader than the head ; the apex obliquely truncate ; the posterior angle a little 

 produced : the legs are moderately long ; the femora incrassated ; the mesotibiae dis- 

 tinctly notched : the legs, like the antennae, are semi-pellucid, with the exception of 

 the incrassated portion in the pro- and mesofemora, which is fuscous : the head, pro- 

 thorax and elytra, are pale fuscous, covered with a still paler and somewhat silky 

 changeable down. It belongs to the Lamiids. 



120. ( ) dentlpes. (Corp. long. '7 unc. lat. "2 unc.) 



The antennae are broken, slender, and longer than the body : the head slightly 

 notched between the antennae ; the eyes of moderate size, and deeply notched at the 

 base of the antennae : the prothorax is nearly square and coarsely punctured ; in the 

 middle of the lateral margin is a very minute tuber : the elytra are wide at the base, 

 and gradually attenuated to the apex, which is very obliquely and imperfectly trun- 

 cated, the outer angle being slightly produced : the legs are rather short ; the femora 

 incrassated ; the mesofemora externally notched, internally furnished with a small 

 tooth. The colour is dirty brown, with a variety of somewhat greyish lanuginous 

 spotted markings. It belongs to the Lamiida.
