Tiiis species approaches very near to Sle?icorus suturuUs of 

 Olivier (iv. no. 69. 29- 25. t.3. f. 29.); but in his insect the legs, 

 are black, the thorax has only two tubercles, and the base of the 

 exterior margin as well as that of the suture is violet; whereas in 

 i. ceramboides the legs are red, the thorax has four tubercles, and 

 only the suture is violet. His insect also comes from a different" 

 country, being a native of tlie East Indies. These two species- 

 form a distinct section of Leptura, or perhaps a new genus..
