middle, thence continuing as a narrow blade to the apex, which 

 is pointed ; their surface is thickly punctured throughout, with 

 a faint raised line down the middle. The abdomen is pro- 

 longed much beyond the tip of the elytra (female?), the pygi- 

 dium being very long, convex, and sinuate at the apex ; its 

 surface, as well as that of the preceding segment, is fulvous. 

 The antenna; are three fourths the length of the body, filiform, 

 stout, and ruddy brown.

Callichroma ( Chloridolum) tenuatum, n. sp. 



C. angustum, elongatum, quoad colorem et elytrorum sculpturam 

 Aromice moschatce simillimum, sed antennis ut in gen. Chloridolo 

 gracillimis ; viride, subtus subtiliter cinereo-tomentosum, an- 

 tennis pedibusque violaceis ; thorace angusto, tuberculis laterali- 

 bus validis, supra passim transversim et oblique strigoso ; elytris 

 creberrime subtiliter scabrosis, lineis duabus tenuibus elevatis ; 

 pedibus elongatis, gracilibus, tarsis posticis articulo primo longis- 

 simo. Long. 8 lin. <3 $ . 



Kobe, several examples ; also taken by Mr. Fortune on the 

 island of Nipon. 



This remarkably slender species differs from Chloridolum in 

 having the fourth antennal joint distinctly shorter than the third, 

 instead of being of the same length. It does not agree either 

 with Leontium, having the antennae long and slender, instead 

 of robust, and serrate or spinose. The antenniferous tubercles, 

 however, are obtuse, as in Leontium argentatum. In the 

 naked and finely scabrous elytra, and also in colour, it agrees 

 with Aromia moschata ; but it differs in its antenna; and long 

 slender hind legs and tarsi. As the genera allied to Calli- 

 chroma are at present very unsatisfactorily defined, I hesitate 

 to add to the confusion by instituting a new one for this insect.
