'262 Mr. C. 0. AYaterliou^e on 



sides yellow. Eyes moderately prominent, round, eraarginate 

 above, finely granular. Thorax about one third longer than 

 broad, with a sharp constriction just before the anterior angles, 

 then nearly parallel to about the middle, where it becomes 

 broader, and then gradually narrowed to the base. The 

 upper surface is densely punctured, but on each side of the 

 basal portion there is a space which has very few punctures. 

 On each side there is a yellow spot extending nearly the 

 whole length, nearly meeting the spot from the other side in 

 front, constricted at its middle. Elytra flat, long, slightly 

 narrowed towards the apex ; yellow and light brown in nearly 

 equal proportions ; the basal area is yellow, there is a yellow 

 fascia before the middle (narrow at the side, broad at the 

 suture), and a yellow fascia behind the middle, a little broader 

 at the suture than at the side. Antennas very slender, twice 

 the length of the entire insect, the two basal joints brown, the 

 rest sordid yellow, the joints dusky at the tips. Legs long 

 and very slender, the femora rather abruptly clavate, yellow, 

 the clavate portion of the femora dark brown, the apex of 

 the tibiae and the tarsi dusky. 

 Length 7 lines. 



Lamiidse. 

 Monohammus HoUisiiy sp. n. 



Robust, dull, entirely clothed with a light brown, closely 

 adpressed tomentum. Antennae extending a little beyond the 

 apex of the elytra ; the basal joint stout, long, gradually 

 enlarged towards the apex, which is black, the posterior 

 margin and apex fringed with rather long black hair. The 

 second joint small, black. The third joint a trifle longer 

 than the first, with its apical half black, fringed with black 

 hair. The following joints are more or less tipped with 

 black. Thorax with a strong, acute, conical tubercle at the 

 side ; anterior margin a little raised above the level of the 

 disk, which has three slightly raised spots, the anterior ones 

 of irregular shape, the median one behind the middle some- 

 what resembling the Greek H. On each side of the disk there 

 are some very small, slightly raised tubercles, each with a 

 black central puncture. Scutellum orange-yellow. Elytra a 

 little flattened at the base, evenly convex posteriorly, with 

 numerous small punctures at the base, and some shining 

 black tubercles, unequal in size and irregularly placed ; some 

 of the larger ones have a puncture in the centre. Each 

 elytron is separately rounded at the apex. 

 Length 18 lines.
