angles is produced into a spur-like process ; the other inner 

 angle is furnished with an acute spur. 



I think this genus must undoubtedly be placed among the 

 Lepturidse, although it is quite unlike any thing in that family 

 known to me. The structure of the antenna3 is nearest to 

 that in Uhamnusmm^ but the joints are all rather longer ; the 

 structure of the sterna and abdomen also agree well with that 

 genus, except that the prosternal process is more sloping 

 posteriorly. "^fhe eyes, however, are very finely granular, 

 and are not supported posteriorly by the cheeks, in which 

 characters it agrees with some other Madagascar Lepturidoe ; 

 and, on the whole, it appears to be best placed near Enthy- 

 mms, Waterh. 



Dysmathosoma picipes^ n. sp. 



Nigrum, pariim uitidum, brevissime grisco-pilosum ; antennis pedi- 

 busque rufo-piceis ; elytris piceis subltevibus, vitta impressa 

 discoidali et altera apicali griseo-pubescoutibus.

The head is closely and very finely punctured. The 

 thorax is smooth, except along the front margin and in the 

 space between the dorsal swellings, where it is closely and 

 very finely punctured. The elytra are smooth and shining, 

 with a few punctures scattered over the surface ; there is a 

 slight impression at the base within the shoulder ; on the 

 disk near the suture is an elongate narrow impression, and at 

 the apex there is another similar impression, but shallower. 

 The surface may perhaps be at times entirely clothed with 

 greyish-white pubescence ; but in the specimen described it 

 is only in the impressions. The metasternura has a deep 

 impressed median line ; it is, as well as the four basal seg- 

 ments of the abdomen, sparingly punctured ; the apical 

 segment is more thickly and more finely punctured.
