genera and species of Languriidce. 319 



while having the shape of the prothorax as in Tetra- 

 lauguria, is abundantly distinct by reason of its very 

 different antennae ; as, however, it in many points 

 resembles Tetralanguria, I have adopted for it the name 

 of Tetralanguroides, for the same reason that I have 

 adopted other names formed on the same principle. 

 The genus may be thus characterised : — 



Forma elon<Tata, parallela, sat lata ; prothorace subquadrato, 

 angulis anticis distinctis, evidenter marginato, basi leviter bisinuata, 

 elytris parallelis, apicibus truncatis ; antennis crassioribus, clava 

 5-articiilata, articulo 60 jam dilatato. 



Tetralanguroides Fryi, n. s. 



Capite sat magno, triangular!, leviter virescenti, fortissime punc- 

 tate ; antennis robustis, clava 5-articulata ; prothorace rufo, obso- 

 lete punctato, macula discoidali, alteraque utrinque laterali, nigris, 

 basi depressa, marginata, utrinque striola impressa, angulis posticis 

 productis, acuminatis ; elytris nigro-cyaneis, apicem versus leviter 

 angustatis, apicibus truucatis, rugosis, ordinibus punctorum seriatim 

 dispositis, interstriis latis, distincte punctatis ; corpore subtus 

 cuna pedibus nigro, prosterno rufo; lineae coxales modicse. 

 L. 12— 12i mm. 



Head large, triangular, very strongly punctured, black, with a 

 greenish metallic tinge ; antennfe short, with the 1st joint trans- 

 verse; joints 2 — 5 about as long as broad, 6th joint a little broader 

 than 5th, 7 — 11 dilated, forming a not very distmct club ; prothorax 

 red, obsoletely punctured, with a discoidal black spot, and two 

 others close to margins in a line with the central spot ; elytra 

 cyaneous-black, with rather strong rows of punctures, interstices 

 plainly punctm'ed, parallel almost to apex, then narrowed and 

 narrowly truncate ; under side and legs black : prosternum red ; 

 last segment of abdomen very strongly punctm-ed ; coxal lines 

 distinct, but not strong. 



China ; in Mr. Crotch's collection. Also in the British 

 Museum collection. 



Among the species in the collection of the Koyal 

 Museum, Brussels, is a specimen of a Pacliylanguria 

 which I have named Pachylanguria Borrei ; the club of 

 the antennae, however, is more elongate than is usual in 

 the type-species of the genus (P. Paivce, Woll., and 

 P. metasternalis, Crotch) and differently shaped, and the 

 species differs also in one or two other points, and may
