thorax, and sides of the elytra are chalky white, the rest of

 declivibus, apice ipse utrinque acuminato, ad suturam sinuatim 

 exciso ; antennis tf corpore triente longioribus, articulis 4°-ll um 

 subaequalibus, filiformibus ; corpore supra fortiter punctato : ely- 

 tris carina centro-basali brevi, alteris duabus discoidalibus post 

 medium elongatis ; fuscis, nigro fulvoque conspersis ; medio 

 griseis, ante declivitatem posteriorem macula transversa nigra. 

 Long. 6-8 lin. tf $ . 



Common everywhere in May. 



Belongs to the section with elongate, filiform antennas — 

 which in the female are equal in length to the body, and in the 

 male a third longer. The antennae, body, and legs are dark 

 brown ; the elytra greyish in the middle, sometimes having a 

 greyish fascia just before the posterior declivity, the fascia 

 bordered behind with black. 



Praonetha zonata, n. sp. 



P. subcylindrica, robusta ; antennis 3 corpore multo longioribus, $ 

 vix brevioribus ; nigro-fusca, fulvo paulo variegata ; elytris ante 

 declivitatem posteriorem sordide albo fasciatis ; crista centro-basali 

 brevi nigro-penicillata, disco bicarinatis, carinis ad fasciae mar- 

 ginem posticum nigro maculatis ; apice intus breviter oblique 

 sinuato-truncatis. Long. 5|-6| lin. c? ? • 



Nagasaki ; Yokohama. 



Closely allied to Pr. caudata ; but distinguished at once by 

 the apex of the elytra not produced, and the sides near the 

 apex much less gradually narrowed ; the dingy or ochreous- 

 white belt just above the posterior declivity is distinct in all 

 examples ; but the part of the elytra behind the belt is of a 

 much lighter brown than the basal portion, and is varied with 

 black and grey spots. The thorax is rather closely punctured. 

 The antennas have filiform, elongated joints, not abruptly 

 shortened after the fourth ; they are reddish and variegated, 

 with the tips of the joints darker. The claws, and sometimes 

 the whole claw-joint, are pale rufous. 



Praoneiha jugosa, n. sp. 



P. oblonga, convexa, nigro-fusca; elytris medio canescentibus, 

 utrinque cristis duabus, prima centro-basali, brevi, subconica, 

 altera posteriore elongata, fortiter compressa; declivitate posteriore 

 abrupta utrinque unituberculata, apice oblique truncato ; antennis
