Since placing this species in my genus Basilides I have 

 fonnd that Buckton^s Anchon albolineatum is also a synonym, 

 and must fall accordingly. 



As regards the genus, Schmidt {supra^ inclines to the 

 view (judging from the figure) that Bnckton^s species is to 

 be included in Monocentrus^ Melich. (Wien. ent. Zeit xxiv. 

 p. 297, 1905). I have not seen a typical specimen of 

 Monocentrus. Melichar placed his genus after Anchon^ but 

 if Schmidt is right in his determination, then the structure 

 of the pronotura with its anterior processes should ally it to 

 Leptobelus, Stal.

 legs testaceous ; tegmina ochraceous, base and costal mar-

 broadened, flattened, slightly recurved ; anteriorly convexly 

 rounded, posteriorly truncate, with the apical angle sub- 

 acute, centrally longitudinally carinate, posterior process 

 undulate, shortly spinous above, distinctly raised and gibbous 

 above scutellum, but deflected to apex of same, and from 

 thence conterminous with tegmina, a strong trilobed erection 

 about two-thirds from base, the apex robust and about 

 reaching tegminal apex ; anterior tibiae moderately dilated.
