than at the apex. Elytra of a violet hue and punctato-striate, 

 with the interstices broad and subconvex. Body beneath piceous- 

 brown. Tibige and tarsi reddish. 



618. — Bry.copia longipes. n. sp. 

 Length 3 lines. 

 Bronzy black, nitid, punctate. Head with the suture curved, 

 and without lateral impressions. Thorax subquadrate, truncate 

 in front and behind, rounded on the sides, and considerably 

 narrower at the base than at the apex, with two faintly marked 

 foveae near the middle. Scutelluin triangular. Elytra deeply 

 striato-punctate, with the interstices subconvex and finely punc- 

 tate. Under surface and thighs brown. Antennae, tibiae and 

 tarsi reddish. Hind legs long. 



619. — Brycopia dubia. n. sp. 

 Length 2| lines. 



Ovate, subconvex, black, and nitid. Head with the suture 

 straight, and with the lateral canals at right angles to it. Thorax 

 transverse, slightly emarginate in front, rounded a little on the 

 sides, and very thinly and minutely punctate, with the posterior 

 angles acute and minutely recurved. Elytra obovate, broader 

 than the thorax, and sti'iato-punctate with the interstices smooth 

 and nearly flat. Body beneath brown, nitid. Antennae and 

 legs piceous. 



I am perhaps wrong in placing this insect in the genus 

 Brycopia. It seems in some respects to show most affinity to 

 Adelium monilicorne described by me some pages back. I think 

 that a new subgenus might well be formed for the reception of 

 both. 



Leptogastrus. n. gen. 



Antennae, thick, and of the length of the head and thorax, 

 with the third joint little longer than the fourth, the other joints 

 increasing gradually in width up to the eleventh, which is very 

 large and oval. Thorax elongate, narrowed behind. Elytra 

 elongate-oval. Thighs robust. Body pedunculate, general form 

 narrow, subcylindrical. In other respects resembling Adelium.
