new Longicorn Coleoptera. 505 
broad oblique pale and almost obsolete band; femora moderately 
stout. 
Differs from the other species of the genus in its 
narrow elongate form, the concave front caused by the 
divergence of the antennary tubercles, and the less 
approximate anterior coxe. 
Amblesthis geminus. 
A. elongatus, pube grisea, elytrorum basi excepta, dense 
vestitus ; prothorace utrinque spina anguste-cylindrica armato, 
dorso tuberculis quatuor munito; elytris apice singulatim rotun- 
datis. Long. 7 lin. 
Hab. Grahamstown (S. Africa). 
Elongate, densely covered with a greyish pubescence, the base 
of the elytra excepted; a deeply impressed line between the 
eyes and on the vertex; antenne with the fourth to the tenth 
joints brownish towards the apex; prothorax about as long as 
broad, the sides with a narrowly cylindrical spine, and with two 
approximate tubercles on each side of the disk; scutellum in- 
distinct; elytra rather more than three times as long as the pro- 
thorax, the apex of each rounded, at the base a large triangular 
naked patch, thickly punctured; body beneath with a grey 
pubescence. 
Form and size of A. alutacea, but with a large tri- 
angular patch on the base of the elytra, as in Ambles- 
thidus plagiatus. Amblesthidus, Fahr., differs from Am- 
blesthis in having the antennary tubercles approximate, 
and in its narrower form. 
Sophronica reducta. 
S. brunnea (prothorace fusco) pallide griseo pilosa; scapo anten- 
narum breviusculo ; prothorace valde transverso, basi quam apice 
multo latiore; elytris latiusculis. Long. 3 lin. 
Hab. Grahamstown. 
Yellowish brown (prothorax dark brown), with long greyish 
hairs; upper surface coarsely punctured; eyes widely apart; scape 
of the antenne rather short, ovate-oblong, third joint much 
shorter ; prothorax very transverse, the base much broader than 
the apex; scutellum truncate behind; elytra rather short, broader 
than the prothorax; abdominal segments glossy, with the sides 
pubescent.
