318 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some new Genera of Cerambycidse. 



produced into a short tooth. Eyes broadly emarginate, incurved 

 behind. Antennae ( ? ) about as long as the body ; the scape 

 subpyriform ; third joint nearly twice its length, the remainder 

 much shorter than the third, and of nearly equal length. Pro- 

 thorax subquadrate, small, the sides slightly rounded and un- 

 armed. Elytra parallel, the apices rounded. Legs rather slen- 

 der ; femora moderately clavate ; tarsi unequal, the anterior with 

 the three basal joints broad and of nearly equal length viewed 

 from above, the intermediate and posterior with the basal joint 

 longer, especially the latter. Anterior coxse approximate ; the 

 prosternum narrow, crowned with a raised longitudinal line. 

 Posterior coxse large and approximate, concealing the interfemoral 

 process. 



This genus appears to be allied to Anoplistes, Serv., but is 

 clearly distinguished by its narrow prosternum and large ex- 

 serted and approximate posterior coxse, entirely concealing the 

 interfemoral process. The elytra are also costulate, as in the 

 cognate genus Tragidion, I am indebted for my specimen to 

 Arthur Adams, Esq., R.N., who procured it during the survey- 

 ing expedition of H.M.S. 'Actseon.' 



Brototyche Adamsii, 

 B. nigra ; elytris sanguineis, singulis tricostulatis. 



Hab, Chosan (Japanese Sea.) 



Black ; head and prothorax crowded with small punctures and 

 sparsely clothed with a loose rusty-grey pubescence ; scutellum 

 triangular, black ; elytra finely pubescent, pure blood-red, each 

 with three well-marked raised lines, terminating before the apex; 

 body beneath, legs, and antennse black, with scattered rusty 

 hairs ; tarsi beneath silvery white. Length 8 lines. 



Thephantes. 



Antennoi in medio incrassatae. 



Prothorax ovatus, subdepressus. 



Femora abrupte clavata ; tarsi postici art. basali triangulari. 



Head very transverse in front. Eyes large, broadly emar- 

 ginate. Antennse shorter than the body; the scape rather short, 

 clavate; none of the succeeding joints longer, but the third, 

 fourth, and fifth nearly as thick as the scape. Prothorax shortly 

 ovate, scarcely broader than the head, a little depressed, the 

 sides irregularly rounded. Elytra parallel, depressed, rounded 

 at the apex. Legs nearly equal ; femora abruptly clavate ; tarsi 

 somewhat dilated, the basal joint of each short and more or less 

 triangular. Pro- and mesosterna declivous. 



I am unable to say whether my specimen of this insect be
