LONGICORNIA. 

 1. PEIONTJS CORPTJLENTUS. 



Proo. Zool. Soc. 1878, p. 720. 



Magnus, elongatus, nigro-castaneus, supra omnino coriaceus mx nitidus : tJiorace parvo, 

 utrinque acute trispinoso : elytris basin versus parallelis, compressis, deinde modice dilatato- 

 rotundatis apice late obtusis, utrinque lineis elevatis tribus vix conspicuis : pectore toto dense 

 fulvo hirto ; abdomine politissimo : antennis 12-articulatis grosse punctatis, articulis 3 11 

 serratis, 5 12 apice foveo porosa,8 12 irregulariter strigosis. ? . 



Long. 2 unc. 



Eemarkable for the great length and bulk of the after-body (including the elytra) 

 relatively to the head and thorax. The palpi are also longer, and their apical joint less dilated 

 than in other species. The posterior thoracic angle is rather more produced and spinif orm than 

 in P. asiaticus (Palderm.), making the lateral armature 3-spinose ; the middle spine is very long 

 and acute. The thorax is narrow as well as short, and is coarsely sculptured, with the excep- 

 tion of a discoidal convex area, which is more sparsely punctured ; anteriorly the thorax is 

 rather abruptly declivous. The elytra are throughout vermiculate-rugose, without mixture of 

 punctures. The legs are long and compressed, and the tarsi, especially the claw-joint, remark- 

 ably long.

2. HESPEBOPHANES CBIBBICOLLIS. 



Bates, Proo. Zool. Soc. 1878, p. 720. 



Cylindricus,fulvus,pilis incumbentibus cinereo-fulms, apud elytros maculatim, vestitus . 

 thorace rotundato, elytris multo angustiori, mcequali, lateribus media subtuberoso, supra 

 crebre alveolato-punclatis : scutello cinereo ; elytris omnino discrete punctatis hand conspicue 

 bicarinatis, apice gradatim angustatis, subacuminatis. 



Long. 8 9 lin. 



Closely allied to the European H. griseus, but distinguished by its smaller and more 

 coarsely reticulate-punctate ihorax, and by the elytra tapering towards the apex causing the 

 sutural angle to be very acute. The fourth antennal joint is only a little shorter than the 

 third and the fifth. The tawny-gray, laid pubescence is very even on the antennae, the whole 

 undersurface, and the legs.

TRINOPHYLUM, nov. gen. 

 Bates, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1878, p. 720. 



Gen. Hesperophanes affine, sed femoribus abrupte clavatis, oculisque minus forte granu- 

 latis. Corpus elongatum, subdepressum, breviter suberecte pubescens, crebre punctatwm.
