272 Mr. C. J. Gahan on new Longicorn Goleoptera 



Though an apparently common species, I have been unable 

 to find any description of it. 



Epepeotes albomaculatus, n. sp. 



E. punctulato aflfinis, sed differt maculis elytroriim majoribus et pau- 

 cioribus, vitta media thoracis brevi, abdomino quatuor eeriebua 

 maculorum. 



Long. 25-30 mm. 



Eab. North India. 



In colour and general appearance this species much re- 

 sembles E. punctulatuSj Westw. ; it is, however, a little larger, 

 the median vitta of the thorax stops short behind at about 

 one third of its length ; the white spots on the elytra are 

 much larger and fewer in number ; they vary in size, the 

 largest being at the middle of each elytron. The elytra are 

 quite smooth behind and without any trace of carinee, their 

 apices are transversely truncate, with all the angles very 

 slightly produced. Each of the first four abdominal segments 

 has two white spots, the fifth one spot, on each side. The 

 three specimens are apparently all females. 



The species {E. punctidatus) referred to above is, I believe, 

 synonymous with E. {Monohaiyimus) gutiatus, Guer., which is 

 placed in the Munich Catalogue in the genus Euoplia. A 

 specimen of the former in the British-Museum collection is 

 Dejean's Monohamnius guttatus, and a second specimen of 

 Chevrolat's collection is ticketed ^wifiato, Guer. To the genus 

 Epepeotes must also be added the Monohammus lateralis^ 

 Gulr. Epepeotes meridianus, Pasc, is probably synonymous 

 with it. 



Pelargoderus flavicornis, n. sp. (PI. XVI. fig. 3.) 



(S . Niger, griseo pubescons, fusco mixtus ; antennis corpore paulo 

 longioribus, articulis primo et secundo nigris, cseteris flavis, apici- 

 bus fusco-ferrugineis ; prothorace lateribus modice tuberculato ; 

 quoque elytro pone medium macula magna, nigra, nitida ; apici- 

 bus subrotundatis. 



Long. 26 mm., lat. 9 mm. 



Ilah. Nias Island. 



Black, with a short greyish pubescence mixed with fuscous. 

 Antennte in the male a little longer than the body, the scape 

 and second joint black, the remaining joints rather thick, 

 flavous at the base and dark ferruginous at the tips. Thorax 

 with fairly well-marked lateral spines. Elytra with a large
