182 Mr. Joseph S. Baly on the 



j^nidea nigripes. 



Angvistata, parallela, flava, nitida, capite nigro, pedi- 

 bus obscure folvis, femoribus tibiisque dorso tarsisque 

 nigris; thorace impunctato, disco utrinque impresso ; elytris 

 tenuiter puuctatis. 



Long. 2 lin. 



Hab. — Nagasaki, unique in ]\Ir. Lewis's collection. 



Head strongly exserted, vertex swollen, impunctate ; 

 encarpaj raised, transverse, contiguous ; eyes prominent, 

 surrounded by a raised orbit ; antenna moderately slender, 

 nearly equal to the body in length. Thorax transverse, 

 sides narrovdy margined, nearly straight, very feebly 

 sinuate behind the middle, very slightly diverging from 

 base to apex, anterior and posterior angles acute ; anterior 

 and hinder margins truncate, the latter deeply notched 

 on either side, just within the outer angle ; surface smooth, 

 impunctate, disk impressed on either side with a large but 

 shallow fovea. Scutellum semiovate. Elytra rather broader 

 than the thorax, parallel, finely punctured. Legs sparingly 

 clothed with whitish hairs. 



The last two insects differ from those previously de- 

 scribed in their much narrower form, but as they do not 

 appear to present any structm-al differences fr'om the more 

 typical species, I have placed them for the present in the 

 genus. 



Genus Cneorane, Baly. 

 Ent. Month. Mag. ii. 97. 

 Through an unfortunate blunder the tibiaa in my diag- 

 nosis of the genus are described as being each armed at 

 the apex with a spine ; they are entirely imarmed. 



Cneorane elegans. 



Oblongo-oyata, postice ampliata, convexa, nitida, rufo- 

 testacea, ociihs antennisque nigris, his basi testaceis ; pec- 

 tore^ abdomineque obscure viridi-metallicis ; elytris vu'idi- 

 jeneis ; tarsis omnibus pedibusque posticis piceis, pedibus 

 quatuor anterioribus piceo-tinctis. 



Long. 2^-31 hn.
