500 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some 
species described below has a dense pubescence, accom- 
panied on the elytra with scattered erect white hairs. 
Apheledes velutinus. (Pl. XIV., fig. 9). 
A. subelongatus, niger, supra pube subtilissima rufo-fusca 
tectus ; prothorace ad latera longitudinaliter trituberculato ; elytris 
apice albo-marginatis. Long. 8 lin. 
Hab. Madagascar. 
Subelongate, black, with a reddish-brown, closely-set pubescence; 
head with an annular impression between the antenne, the sides 
above the mouth with a fascicle of longish white hairs; antenne 
pubescent, all the joints from the fourth nearly equal in length ; 
prothorax subcylindrical, with a longitudinal row of three blackish 
tubercles towards each side; scutellum rounded behind; elytra 
much broader at the base than the prothorax, gradually narrowing 
from the shoulders, the apex of each rounded and bordered with a 
narrow line of white hairs; body beneath and legs with a pale 
silky pubescence. 
ANTIGENES. 
Caput exsertum, haud rostratum; oculi reniformes, laterales. 
Antennz corpore breviores, setacee, prope oculos inserte. Pro- 
thorax ad latera tuberculatus. Elytra parallela, leviter convexa. 
Coxe antic product, separate. Pedes graciles; tibie calcarate ; 
tarsi articulo ultimo elongato; unguiculi tenuati, approximati. 
Mesosternum depressum. Abdomen segmentis tribus basalibus 
longitudine equalibus. 
An ambiguous genus, for which, I think, no better 
place can be found than among the Lepturine, and 
those forms which Lacordaire calls the ‘“ Toxotides.” 
There is a peculiarity in the long, slender, and approxi- 
mate claws. 
Antigenes funebris. (Pl. XIV., fig. 1). 
A. oblongus, obscure niger, capite postice, prothoraceque in 
medio et margine antico rufis ; elytris pube brevissima flava leviter 
tectis. Long. 6 lin. 
Hab. Madagascar. 
Oblong, dull black, on the elytra a very short yellowish pube- 
scence, giving them a brownish tint ; the back of the head, anterior 
margin, and disk of the prothorax in the middle, yellowish red ; 
head with a transverse impression in front, clypeus fringed with
