and Species of Longicorn Co/eoptera. 239 



lengthened, parallel, sub-depressed, apiculate ; legs moderate, 

 femora clavate ; tarsi sliort ; prosternum produced. 



This genus is formed for the Acanthoplera gummosa of Perty. 

 What Acanlhoptera is intended it is difficult to say, since Latreille 

 used the word to include Purpuricenus, Callichroma and the

 Hemilissa is closely allied to Piezocera, Serv.
