274 Mr. C. J. Galian on new Longicorn Goleoptera 



the head, legs, and underside of the body, but limited to move 

 or less confluent spots on the thorax and elytra. The head 

 deeply and triangularly concave between the antennal tu- 

 bercles, and longitudinally sulcate. Thorax much broader 

 than long, the lateral spines very long and directed somewhat 

 backwards, very closely and finely punctured on the disk, the 

 latter with a slight median lobe or swelling near its base just 

 in front of and faintly projecting over the posterior transverse 

 groove. Elytra very finely granulate at the base, the granules 

 replaced behind by very close and somewhat fine punctures, 

 which extend almost to the apex ; the latter rounded, with 

 the sutural angles very slightly produced. The last two joints 

 of the antennai are broken off in the two specimens under 

 observation ; the remaining nine are together about as long as 

 the body, the scape and second joint are covered with an 

 ochreous pubescence, the other joints show a trace of pubes- 

 cence above, and all are fringed with hairs beneath. Both 

 specimens are, I believe, females. 



The ciliate antennae and the rather short prothorax, with 

 its long and recurved lateral spines, are characters which 

 make the species doubtfully a Monohammus. 



Uoplohammiis speciosus, n. sp. 



Pube olivaceo-aurea velutina tectus ; capitis fronte sparse et minute 

 punctulata ; prothorace baud levi, antice et postice transverse 

 bisnlcato ; elytris minute subseriatim punctulatis, apicibus sub- 

 rotuudatis. 



Long. 15-23 mm., lat. 5-8 mm. 



Hah. China and Hong Kong. 



Completely covered with a dense, golden-olive, velvety 

 pubescence, with shades varying in different lights. The 

 pubescence is as bright on the under as on the upper side of 

 the body, is less bright on the legs, and is rather dull on the 

 front of the head and on the basal joint of the antennae. A 

 narrow median impressed line along the face and occiput. 

 Cicatrice of scape pubescent, its margin not quite complete. 

 Bases of third to eleventh antennal joints yellowish brown, 

 clothed with a faint grey pubescence (denser in the female), 

 the apices fuscous ferruginous. The prothorax appears 

 slightly uneven on the disk ; but this is chiefly due to the 

 rufiled-looking pubescence ; it has four transverse grooves, 

 two anteriorly, of which one is very close to the anterior bor- 

 der, and two posteriorly ; a faint median lobe or process abuts 

 slightly on the anterior of the two latter grooves. A few 

 punctures on each side of the middle of the disk. Elytra
