delicately behind; the elytra are thickly punctured at 
the base and apex, very densely and more finely punc- 
tured over the discal area; each elytron has three fine 
elevated lines besides an indistinct shorter one at 
the side. 
Hab. Mamboio, Usagava Mountains. B. M. 
The specimen from which I have taken the above 
description is in imperfect condition, and has lost its 
antenne. It is a female, and the structure of the abdo- 
men does not appear to differ materially from the species 
described by Mr. Bates. We shall look forward with 
much interest to the discovery of the males of these 
remarkable insects. 
LAMIIDA. 
Echthistatus binodosus, n. 8. 
Fuscus, dense fusco-pilosus ; capite sat crebre punc- 
tato. pone oculos rugoso, thorace medio paulo dilatato 
ibique utrinque spina valida acuta armato, supra inequali 
sicut trinodoso, elytris basi thorace latioribus medio 
parum ampliatis, apicem versus gradatim angustatis 
singulatim acute productis, basi utrinque noda rotundata 
nigra nitida notata, lateribus carina obtusa postice 
granulosa instructis. Long. 9 lin. 
The surface of the thorax is uneven and rugulose, and 
on the disk three slight elevations may be traced. The 
elytra are very gently convex on the back, almost per- 
pendicularly deflexed at the sides, the deflexed portion 
being surmounted by an obtuse carina which extends 
from the shoulder to the apex; there is a well-marked 
concavity above each shoulder, and near the scutellum 
there is a small, very prominent, round bladder-like 
tubercle. All the surface is studded with minute granules. 
The apices are divergent and acutely produced.
