brovos ; feinoni modice incrassata ; fursi lincares. C'oxi^n anticaj 

 subglobosie, baud contigucc. Meaosternum horizontale. Abdomen

Lacordaire places Uracanthinai in one and Stenoderinaj in 

 the other of the two " sections " into which he divides his 

 " Coram hjcides vrais Sjlvains," the former liaving coarsely, 

 the latter (witli certain exceptions) finely faceted eyes ; 

 Eiuenica, therefore, will go with the former.

I have only a single specimen of this interesting Longicorn, 

 which I refer, although with some hesitation, to the Pytheina?. 

 I adopt the term " pili volatiles " after Schiodte for the long,

 have a contrary effect ? The spur on the hind tibije is possibly 

 a sexual character.
