372 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on Longicorn Coleoptera. 



Myagrus Hynesii. 



M. brevius cuius, castaneus, pube rufo-brunnea, maculatim albo- 

 varia, vestitus ; antennis subannulatis. Long. 6 lin. 



Hah. Bombay. 



Chestnut, covered with a reddish-brown pile spotted and 

 blotched with white, the latter colour on the prothorax con- 

 fined to the sides ; on the elytra there are a number of spots, 

 uniting more or less to form three patches, i. e. one on the 

 shoulder, the second on the middle, and the third towards the 

 apex ; underside and legs with a whitish pile ; antennse 

 brownish, the outer joints paler at the base ; prothorax slightly 

 transverse, the tubercular spine equidistant from the apex and 

 the base ; elytra rather short and somewhat depressed. 



Neanthes. 



Characteres fere ut in Monocliamo, sed articulus basalis antennarum 

 obsolete cicatricosus. Oculi parvi. Tuhera antennifera diver- 

 gentia. 



The type of this genus is Monochamus curialis ; but as 

 Lacordaire has based the classification of his " Section B " on 

 the characters offered by the cicatrix, i. e. open or closed, and 

 in the latter case often obsolete, it is necessary to have another 

 genus for its reception. To none of his groups, however, is 

 this genus allied, and I think it must be taken as exceptional 

 and placed near Monochamus. The cicatrix is marked by a 

 short and delicate carina, and is pubescent like the rest of the 

 joint. The species is one of Fortune's finds in North China ; 

 it is closely covered by a rich brown silky pile, the antei'ior 

 two thirds of the elytra inclining to greyish white. M. luridus, 

 liaving the same habitat, might be placed in Melanauster ; but 

 the mesosternum is but slightly tuberculate. Its specific name 

 was used in the less usual sense of " black and blue." 



Meton fasciatus. 



M. piceus, pube vaviegatim fuscescente griseaque vestitus ; pro- 

 thorace in medio tubereulato-gibboso, ad latera granulato ; elytris 

 apicem versus fascia transversa irregulari subalbida notatis. 

 Long. 7 lin. 



Uab. Port Bowen. 



Pitchy, densely covered with a variegated pile, in which 

 greyish or yellowish grey with shades of brown predominate ; 

 prothorax with a longitudinal fulvous-grey stripe, in which 

 posteriorly is a small tubercular gibbosity, on the sides ante- 

 riorly a few small glossy granules ; elytra not quite as broad
