  millim. 
  

  

  Antennae 
  moderately 
  long, 
  slightly 
  thicker 
  towards 
  the 
  

   extremity. 
  Head 
  a 
  little 
  narrower 
  than 
  the

  Thorax 
  

   small, 
  only 
  about 
  half 
  as 
  broad 
  as 
  the 
  elytra, 
  broadly 
  but 
  

   feebly 
  biimpressed 
  on 
  the 
  middle, 
  distinctly 
  but 
  rather 
  

   sparingly 
  punctate, 
  shining. 
  Elytra 
  sparingly,

  This 
  is 
  extremely 
  different 
  in 
  punctuation 
  from 
  L. 
  fine- 
  

   strata, 
  which 
  is 
  similarly 
  coloured 
  ; 
  it 
  has 
  a 
  greater 
  resem- 
  

   blance 
  in 
  appearance 
  to 
  Anthophagus 
  lestevoides, 
  but 
  the 
  struc- 
  

   ture 
  of 
  the 
  palpi 
  in 
  the 
  two 
  insects 
  is 
  very 
  different.

  Long.

  millim. 
  

  

  Antennae 
  setose, 
  penultimate 
  joint 
  quite 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  broad. 
  

   Head 
  exserted, 
  slender, 
  narrowed 
  but 
  not 
  at 
  all 
  constricted 
  

   behind 
  the 
  eyes, 
  which 
  are 
  prominent 
  and 
  placed 
  much 
  in 
  

   front 
  of 
  the 
  thoracic 
  margin 
  ; 
  finely 
  punctate, 
  very 
  deeply 
  

   biimpressed 
  between 
  the 
  eyes. 
  Thorax 
  transverse, 
  piceous 
  

   black, 
  with 
  the 
  margins 
  more 
  dilute, 
  the 
  sides 
  gently 
  rounded, 
  

   the 
  hind 
  angles 
  also 
  rounded, 
  the 
  surface 
  shining, 
  impunctate. 
  

  

  Elytra 
  long, 
  narrow, 
  twice 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  thorax, 
  rather 
  

   closely 
  and 
  finely 
  punctate, 
  with 
  a 
  few 
  fine 
  exserted 
  setae 
  

   arranged 
  serially. 
  Legs 
  slender, 
  middle 
  tibiae 
  strongly 
  spined, 
  

   hind 
  tarsi 
  very 
  slender, 
  terminal 
  joint 
  nearly 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  

   four 
  preceding 
  together 
  ;

  Yokohama,

  Feb.

  three 
  specimens. 
  

  

  This 
  is 
  scarcely 
  congeneric 
  with 
  the 
  European 
  A. 
  canalicu- 
  

   latum, 
  but 
  may 
  probably 
  be 
  more 
  nearly 
  allied 
  to 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  

   Californian 
  forms 
  at 
  present 
  referred 
  to 
  this 
  genus. 
  A. 
  flori- 
  

   bundum, 
  Lee, 
  is 
  nearer 
  to 
  it 
  than 
  any 
  other 
  species 
  I 
  possess.
