LONGICORNIA. 



Prionidae. 



AxALoriius, gen. nov. 



^[andibles short, convex, curved, furnished on the inner 

 side with a single strong tooth. Head large, convex. An- 

 tennje about half tiie length of the body ; the first joint short, 

 pear-shaped, the third two thirds the length of the first, but 

 slender, the fifth to eleventh gradually increasing in length. 

 Thorax scarcely broader than the head, transverse, with no 

 lateral margin, only marked by a fine line. Prosternum broad 

 and flat. Legs not spinose ; tarsi short and narrow, the third 

 joint bilobed. 



Closely allied to Mallodon, from which I have separated it 

 on account of the thorax not being expanded into a lateral 

 ridge. 



Analojjhus parallelusj sp. n. 



A. elongatus, parallclus, convexus, piceus ; capita mapno, convcso, 

 medio canaliculato, discrete fortiter punctato, collo subtiliter 

 orcbcrrime punctato, pone oculos fortiter granoso : thorace lon- 

 gritudine -L latiore, antice baud profunde cmarginato, latcribus 

 ixirallclis, angulis posticis rotundalis, disco uitido parcc jninctato, 

 medio longitudinaliter impresso, latcribus opacis creberrime sub- 

 tiliter punctulatis, guttis duabus nitidis notatis ; scutello lajvi ; 

 clytris thorace parum latioribus subparallclis, uitidis, basi discrete 

 punctatis, latcribus apiceque nigidosis ; pcdibus rufo-piccis, niti- 

 dis, hand spinosis. 



Long. 10 lin., lat. 5 a lin. 



The head and thorax are pitchy black. The thorax has 

 the lateral margin indicated by a fine interrupted line, which 

 terminates at the posterior angles in a slight crenulatcd ridge. 

 The base has a slight emargination on each side of the scutcl- 

 lum. The wliole underside is opaque and finely and densely 

 punctured as the sides are above. The abdomen is shining.
