Longicorn Coleoptera of Japan. 317 



Praonetha angusta^ n. sp. 

 P. elongata, angusta, fusca, nigro, fulvo et griseo iudistincte varie- 

 gata, elytrig postice macula sublaterali grisea ; antennis filiformi- 

 bus, <S corpore paulo longioribus, articulis 4°-ll"'° basi testaceis; 

 thorace creberrime punctato ; elytris postice gradatim declivibus, 

 apice breviter peroblique truncatis, crista centro-basali subconica, 

 nigro penicillata, carinis posticis obsoletis. Long. 3-3 1 lin. 



Wax-trees, Nagasaki. 



By its nan-ow form this species resembles the Apomecyninmy 

 particularly the genus Rojnca ; but the simple middle tibias 

 show that it belongs to the Niphonince ; and the elytral crest, 

 thorax, head, and eyes are those of the genus Praonetha. The 

 antennas are elongate ; the fourth joint shorter than the third, 

 and the fifth to eleventh gradually and slightly decreasing in 

 length. The head and thorax are short compared with the 

 elongate elytra. 



Praonetha leiopodina^ n. sp. 



Leiopodi nebuhso simillima. Elongato-oblonga, modice convexa, 

 fusca, nigro, fulvo et griseo variegata, elytris pone medium fascia 

 griseo-alba ; antennis corporis longitudine, filiformibus, articulis 

 basi griseis ; thorace crebre punctulato ; elytris modice compressis, 

 postice oblique declivibus, apice brevissime obtuse truncatis, 

 carina centro-basali elevata, arcuata, alteris duabus posticis ob- 

 tusis, omnino (apice excepto) fortiter punctatis. Long. 3- 

 3ilin. 



On dead branches of wax-tree. Several examples. 



Much resembling in form and colour the common European 

 Leiojms nehulosusj but a true Praonetha in all its generic and 

 group characters ; the head and thorax are rather small com- 

 pared with the elytra, and the latter are less convex than in 

 typical Praonethce ; the centro-basal ridge is moderately 

 elevated and regularly arcuated.
