'tinctly truncate. The fifth segment of the abdomen is slightly 

 emarginate in the middle of the apex, a character which is 

 not visible in A. crinita. 



M. Thomson states that the example in Chevrolat's collec- 

 tion is a male. If he is referring to the specimen which was in 

 that collection when it came to the British Museum, I think 

 }ie is in error. The specimen appears to me to be (as well as 

 one since received) a female. The male would undoubtedly 

 have the claw-joint dilated, as in the allied species ; and the 

 structure of the antennae and abdomen appear to denote the 

 female sex. 



Leptocera rufofemorata. 



Nigra, subopaca ; capite thoraceque crebre punctatis ; elytris viola- 



ceis, subscriatim crebre punctatis ; femoribus auticis rufis. 

 Long. 6 lin. 



Closely allied to L. humeralis, Buq., and of the same form, 

 except perhaps the elytra, which are a trifle more parallel. 

 The antennge are longer than the whole insect, the basal joint 

 thickly punctured, the third to the eleventh joints clothed with 

 grey pubescence. The thorax is rather long, very thickly 

 punctured, and rather more finely punctured than in L. hume- 

 rah'sj the sides very gently arcuate. The elytra are very 

 tliickly punctured, rather strongly so near the base, more 

 finely at the sides and apex ; on the disk near the base the 

 punctures form lines ; the suture is lined with grey pubes- 

 cence ; the apex is slightly truncated, but the outer angle is 

 not so dentiform as m L.h inner alis. The femora are strongly 

 inflated; the anterior bright red, except at the base and ex- 

 treme apex. The middle femora have an obscure red line 

 above. 



Leiitocera pulchra. 



Nigra, opaca ; antonuis piceis ; thorace creberrime punctulato, late- 

 ribus levitcr arcuatis ; elytris subparallclis, viridibus vage aureo- 

 tinctis, coriaceis atque veimiculosis, crebre subtiliter punctulatis, 

 apice obtuso. oupreo ; abdomine parum nitido, sat crebre punctate. 



Long. 11-12 lin. 



Antennte rather thick ; in the male considerably longer than 

 the whole insect ; in the female they scarcely reach to the 

 middle of the elytra ; the basal joint is thickly punctured with 

 larger and smaller punctures. Thorax about as long as broad, 

 slightly narrowed in front and behind, suddenly constricted in 

 front, immediately before the front angles ; the anterior and 

 posterior margins thickened; the surface is densely covered 

 with very small and larger punctures. The elytra are only 

 slightly narrowed towards the apex, green with golden and
