312 Mr. G. Lewis on 



ceous, narrowly dusky at the apices, striae fine, interstices 

 flat, 2 to 5 rather wide, all evenly and finely rugose ; the 

 antennae infuscate, rather long, with ratlier lax joints; the 

 legs also infuscate ; the thorax and antennae are shorter in 

 the female. 



This species has the fades of a very large specimen of 

 A. sericeusj Cand., but it is apparently nearer to A. pilosus^ 

 Panz. 



Hah. Nikko. Four examples. 



Affrioies perstmilis, sp. n. 



Infuscatus, subopacus, fulvo-pubcscens ; elytris brunneis, sutura 



infuscata ; antennis pedibusque brunneis. 

 L. 121 mm. 



This species is more robust than the last, with the thorax 

 shorter, scutellum wider and less pointed behind, elytral 

 suture infuscate, and legs and antennae reddisli brown. The 

 frontal carina also is much less conspicuous and is not notably 

 oblique at the sides. If I did not know the female of A. lon- 

 gicollis I should with some hesitation consider this to belong 

 to it. The species, however, were found more than 500 miles 

 apart.

Elonp:atus, niger, fulvo-pubcsccns ; thorace crcbcrrinic pxnictato, 

 puuctis obscure ocellatis, angulis incouspicue cariuatis ; antennis 

 valde serratis ; pedibus rufis. 



L. 9 mill. 



Elongate, black, with fulvous pubescence ; the head 

 coarsely and very closely punctate ; the thorax also closely 

 punctate, punctures minutely oceUate, posterior angles little 

 acute, turning outwards, with the carina scarcely visible; 

 the elytra punctate-strlate, interstices finely punctulate and 

 transversely rugose ; the antennje, articulations rather long 

 and lax, distinctly serrate (male), three basal joints red, others 

 darker; the legs wholly reddish brown.
