Coleoptera Longicornia and Phytophaga^ by C. J. Gahan. 99 



the fifth and following joints subequal to one another and 

 each scarcely longer than the fourth. Prothorax elongated, 

 unarmed, slightly narrowed from the beginning of the poste- 

 rior third to the base. Elytra about half as long again as 

 the prothorax, and not wider across the base than the greatest 

 width of the prothorax ; apices rounded. Pygidium exposed. 

 Femora clubbed in their distal portion, pedunculate at the 

 base. The anterior coxte are closely approximated ; the 

 prosternal process is in the form of a very short triangle, 

 whose backwardly directed apex does not reach as far as the 

 middle point between the coxaj ; the cavities of the latter are 

 distinctly open behind. The mesosternal process is narrow 

 and triangular in form. 



This genus seems best placed in the group of the Graciliides. 



Neomicrus Walkeri^ sp. n. 



Pieeo-brunneus, capite prothoraceque griseo breviter pubescentibus ; 

 elytris dense punctatis et griseo-setosis, utrisque plaga vel 

 macula inter basin mediiira(iue paullo pallidiore ; antennis testa- 

 ceis, articulonim apicibus leviter int'uscatis ; femorum tibiarumque 

 basibus testaceis.

Almost entirely of a dark reddish-brown colour, with the 

 antenna?, the coxfe, the bases of the femora and tibia?, and an 

 obscure patch between the middle and base of the elytra 

 testaceous. The head and prothorax have a covering of very 

 short grejnsh pubescence. The prothorax appears to be very 

 closely and finely punctured. The elytra are somewhat 

 densely and more strongly punctured, each of the punctures 

 bearing a greyish seta. The shoulders of the elytra are very 

 slightly prominent. 



Though slightly suggestive of Gracilia jiygmcea^ Fabr., 

 the present species is markedly distinct. The elytra are 

 proportionally much shorter and also narrower, the middle 

 and posterior femora are more abruptly clavate, and the joints 

 of the antennee bear different proportions.
