530 Mr. Watei!Housk on new species of 



tubercles, eyes prominent. Ar.te-ina? about three-cjviarters the 

 length of the elytra, pilose, the third to tenth joints each 

 with two long slender branches springing from the base below. 

 Thorax not so broad as the head Avith the eyes, one-third longer 

 than broad, subcylindrical, angularly widened in the middle, 

 moderately constricted between the middle and the base, the 

 surface tuberculoso-rugose. Elytra parallel, nearly twice as 

 broad as the thorax, densely tuberculoso-rugose, the tubercles 

 having a tendency to form lines. 



Palhmis hi pen icillatns. 



Elongatus, cylindricus, niger, nitidus ; elytris basi bipeni- 

 cillatus, medio fascia angusta albti ornatis. Long. 4 liu. 



Convex, cylindrical; shining, except the base of the elytra 

 which is somewhat dull. Head gently convex in front, not very 

 thickly and extremely delicately punctured and pubescent, the 

 eyes rather large. Antenna) about the length of the elytra, 

 filiform, the joints elongate, the apical one one-half longer than 

 the preceding, the basal joint pitchy below. Thorax very con- 

 vex, enveloping the head in front, constricted at the base, 

 thickly and finely punctured and pilose. Elytra parallel, with 

 a narrow white band across the middle ; each elytron with a 

 long fine pointed pencil of hair in the middle of the base, resem- 

 bling a spine, directed forwards, with seven lines of deep elongate 

 punctures which terminate just beyond the white band, the 

 apex coriaceous. The metasternum with an oblique white stripe 

 on each side. The legs with a fine white line in front and 

 behind. The palpi piceous. 



The eyes in this species are proportionately large, and the 

 antennal pit is close to them. 



This species, has a somewhat striking resemblance to the 

 Longicorn Ancylistes bicnspis, Chev., received in the same col- 

 lection, and is not unlikely to be parasitic upon that insect, the 

 spine on the base of the elytra in Ancylistes being represented 

 by a pencil of hair. 



ACHLAMYS, n. gen. 



Head (with the eyes) broader than the thorax, the eyes 

 prominent, coarsely granular, scarcely einarginate in front. 

 Antenna^ Avith the first joint thick, ovate, the second joint small, 

 the third elongate, subcylindrical, the fourth, fifth aud sixth
