Anoplomei'us gracilis, n. sp. 



Cylindricus, rufo-testaceus ; thorace rotundato-ovato, 

 linea abbreviata discoidali elevata nigra ; elytris utrinque 

 niaculis eburneis duabus geminatis fusco-cinctis, una 

 paulo ante medium, altera inter medium et apicem, 

 • maculaque fusca ad angulum suturalem ; pedibus praecipue 

 femoribus elongatis. . 



Long. 6 lin. c?. 



Apparently closely allied to A. glohuJicoUis (Buquet), 

 but very much smaller. Head opaque, sometimes ■with 

 a black spot on the occiput ; thorax ovate, with sides 

 equally rounded, surface opaque, owing to the minute 

 sculpture, centre with a short elevated line covered by a 

 black spot. Scutellura black. Elytra linear, of same 

 width as the thorax ; apex narrowly sinuate-truncate, 

 with each angle of the truncature briefly spinous ; surface 

 granulate-punctate, with an erect dark bristle arising 

 from each puncture, the sculpture much weaker near the 

 apex ; each elytron has two geminate elevated ivoiy 

 spots, one at one-third, the other at two-thirds the length, 

 and both encircled by a dusky ring ; each spot is divided 

 into two by a line of coarse punctures, and the inner 

 portion is shorter than the outer ; the latter, also, is more 

 elevated, forming part of an elevated line extending 

 down the elytron. There is a dusky spot Avithin the 

 sutural apex, which is connected by means of an indis- 

 tinct dusky line with the dark ring of the posterior 

 ivory spot. The legs are elongate, especially the femora, 

 the posterior pair extending much beyond the apex of 

 the elytra; the knees are black.
