210 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on new Sjyecies ofLaraiidae. 



A short diagnosis of the following genus was given in the 

 'Proceedings of the Entomological Society' for February 1868, 

 p. xiii. M. Lacordaire informs me {hi lit.) that he considers 

 it synonymous with Loj)}ioptera of M. Perroud; but in this 

 genus the antennte are said to be distant at the base, and 

 the third joint only " a little less long than the fourth and fifth 

 together." These characters, taken in conjunction with its 

 supposed affinities, do not apply to anything known to me ; I 

 have therefore ventured to give here a fuller description of the 

 proposed genus, which was named 



Anthores. 



Head rather narrow above, nearly quadrate in front. Eyes 

 not nearly extending to the mouth. Antennary tubers con- 

 tiguous at the base, prominent and diverging. Antennae in 

 the male twice as long as the body, setaceous ; scape very 

 stout, with a well-marked cicatrix at the apex, and nearly as 

 long as the third joint ; this a little longer than the fourth, 

 which with the three folloAving are equal; the eighth to the tenth 

 sliglitly shorter, the eleventh simulating two joints. Prothorax 

 small, transverse, irregular above, a slender tooth on each side 

 at the middle. Elytra elongate, subparallel, with a slight 

 crest on the base of each ; shoulders produced. Legs nearly 

 equal, anterior tarsi neither dilated nor fringed. Pro- and 

 mesosternum declivous ; metasternum elongate. 



The type is well known in collections under the name of 

 Monochamus leuconotus^ but it has never been published. The 

 female differs slightly from the male in having the antennae 

 only about a third longer than the body. The genus is known 

 from Monochamus y inter alia, by the basal crests of its elytra, 

 the legs of nearly equal length, and the tubercular prothorax. 



Antliores leuconotus. 



A. fusciis, olytris, basi ct plaga lateral! postmediana exccptis, albo 

 tomcntosis ; his, capite prothoraceque fusco pubescentibus, maculis 

 fiilvis vage intermixtis. 



Hah. Natal. 



Dark brown, with a dense white tomentum on the elytra, 

 except at the base and patch at the side behind the middle, 

 which, with the head and prothorax, have a dark brown pu- 

 bescence indistinctly mingled with spots of fulvous; head 

 deeply indented between the antennary tubercles ; prothorax 

 slightly transverse, two well-marked tubercles on the disk, a 

 little before the middle ; scutellum curvilinearly triangular ; 

 elytra impunctate, granulate at the base, between the scutel-
