210 Mr. H, W. Bates on Longicorn 



Long. 9-10 lin. <? ? . 



Many examples. A handsome, brightly- coloured spe- 

 cies, in fresh examples. It resembles L. fasciculatus, 

 White, which, however, is a much shorter insect, with 

 trigonal elytra. 



Lagocheirus rosaceus, Bates, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1869, p. 

 386. — I have now seen many scores of examples of this 

 handsome and distinct species, all presenting the same 

 character. 



Lagocheirus binunieratus , Thorns. Classif. des Ceramb. p. 

 9 ; (L. V-(ilhum, Bates, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1869, p. 385) .— 

 Of this species also, I have seen a very large number. 

 Judging from the description, there appears to be no 

 doubt of the identity of the V-alhum with the Mexican 

 hinumeratus. L. plantaris, Erichs., is a closely allied 

 species from Peru, differing by its white belt across the 

 elytra.

 quinque costato, macula laterali fusca, intus regulariter cur- 

 vata, fascia lata valde flexuosa (postice bene definitaet fusca 

 uiarginata) quam colore fundi vix pallidiori ; an tennis c?

 modo armato, fuscis, griseo-anuulatis ; pedibus griseo et

Long. 9 lin. c? ? . 



Remarkable from the absence of the hooked and 

 bearded spine at the end of the sixth antennal joint of 

 (^ , which is otherwise so constant a character of this 

 genus. 



Leptostylus viriditinctus, n. sp. — Elongato-ovatus, for- 

 titer convexus, fuscus, thorace elytrisque plus minusve 

 sericeo-viridibus, his apice ad suturam et (ssepe) macula 

 postico-discoidali albis ; capite fronte fulva, fusco-irrorata, 

 vertice saepe viridi ; thorace disco tuberculis 5 fortiter 

 elevatis, unoque utrinque sublaterali, interstitiis grosse 

 discrete punctatis ; elytris prope apicem acuminato- 

 angustatifl, apice ipso bre\'iter truncatis et angulo exteriori
