Mr. F. P. Pascoe oyi Longicorn Coleoptera. 371 



' nigris ; elytris cj'aueis ; corpore infra femoribusque luteis. Long. 

 6 1in. 



Hah. Yemen. 



Closely punctured above, not shining ; head, prothorax, 

 and scuteilum black ; elytra dark blue ; body beneath, femora, 

 and base of the tibiae fulvous ; the rest of the tibiaj and tarsi 

 black; antennae black, the two basal joints fulvous, the 

 seventh to the tenth very broadly triangular, the last deeply 

 emarginate on each side towards the apex ; hind tibiae slightly 

 curved. Allied to //. notaticollis^ but differently coloured. 

 All the species of this genus have hitherto been confined to 

 South Africa. 



Temnosternus apicalis. 



T. dense griseo-pubescens ; prothoracis lateribus, humeris, apici- 

 busque elytrorum Isete fuscis ; elytris costa unica, postice obso- 

 leta, instructia. Long. 4| lin. 



Hah. Rockhampton (Queensland). 



The smallest of the Temnosterni^ and allied to T. vttulus, 

 but proportionally narrower, the elytral costa less distinct, &c. 

 Closely covered above with a greyish pile, a well-marked stripe 

 on each side of the prothorax, and extending to the shoulders 

 and the apex of the elytra, a rich brown; a small, well-marked 

 tubercle on each side well behind the middle ; elytra depressed, 

 irregularly punctured, the costa disappearing towards the apex; 

 antennae not so long as the body, obscurely annulated with 

 greyish, the third and fourth joints nearly equal in length ; 

 body beneath glossy brown, the pubescence confined to the 

 sides. 



Myageus. 



Capiit parvum ; tuberibus antenniferis validis, approximatis ; 

 antennce corpore duplo longiores, articulo tertio quartoque 

 sequalibus. Oculi magni, grosse granulati. Prothorax lateribua 

 tuberculato-spinosis. Elytra breviuscula, apice rotundata. Me- 

 sosternum elevatum, antice productum. Pedes antici paulo 

 longiores. 



This is a Monochamus-f orm, the character of the mesoster- 

 num, however, bringing it nearer Diochares than to Monocha- 

 mus proper. From Diochares the genus is essentially diffe- 

 rentiated by its strong antennary tubers, separated at the base 

 by a narrow groove, and approximated above. The only 

 example I have seen was taken by G. Lewis Hynes, Esq., of 

 the Bombay Mint, and kindly presented to me by Dr. 

 Power.
