116 INSECTA. 
Lepeletier and Serville—Encyc. Méthod., X, 545. The antenne of 
the males are inserted into a posterior extremity of a long appendage 
which arises from the lateral margin of the forehead, extends trans- 
versely, and covers the eyes. 
All the species known are from Brazil. 
_ Others of a very similar form, with antenne either bearded or fur- 
nished with bundles of hairs, constitute the genus PoGgonocHERus, 
Meg. Dej. 
Some of the species inhabit Europe, and nearly all of these are 
remarkable for their elytra, which are truncated obliquely at the 
extremity *. 
Others again, still slightly elongated, but with a more cylindrical 
body, have each eye completely divided into two parts by the tu- 
bercle which gives rise to the antenne—they compose the genus 
TETRAOPES J. 
Certain Lami of Fabricius, with a narrow and elongated body, 
very long antennz, and a stout spine on each side of the thorax, in 
which the anterior tibize are slightly curved, and the intermediate 
ones are furnished with a tooth on the outer side, form that of the 
Monocnamus, Dej.—Monochammus, Dahl., Catal.; as those gentle- 
men have not indicated its characters, I only give the above for such 
as I presume them to bet. 
In the “ Catalogue de la Collection des Coléoptéres’” of Count 
Dejean, with the exception of the apterous species, the remaining 
Lami of Fabricius retain the generic appellation of Lamia; but it 
appears from another Catalogue, that of Dahl, that two species from 
France—cucurlionides, nebulosa—have been separated by M. Me- 
gerle to form another generic section, or Musosa§; if we suppose 
that the Saperde differ from the Lami in the absence of lateral 
points on the thorax, these species in this respect would approach the 
Saperde; but their body is proportionally shorter and wider than 
that of these last Insects, and by this character they are more nearly 
allied to the Lamize. Of these two species, that called 
L. cucurlionides, Fab.; Oliv., Ib., 1V, 67, x, 69, is one of the 
prettiest that is found in France. It is about six lines in length, 
brown, with round, black, villous spots surrounded by a ferru- 
ginous circle, which induced Geoffroy to term it the Lepture aux 
yeux de paon. 
L. textor; Cerambyz textor,L.; Oliv., Ib., vi, 39. Another 
species very common in Europe, but its thorax is armed on each 
* See Catalogue, &c., Dej., p. 107. 
+ See Scheenh., Synon. Insect., and the Catal., Dej. The Cerambyx mazillosus, 
and nigripes of Olivier appear to approach these Insects.

§ Another might have been formed with the Lamia hystrix, Fab., whose antenne 
are pectinated. There are some, such as the L. 5-fasciata, 3-fasciata, capensis, &c., 
in which the sides of the thorax are rather rugose or plicated, than furnished with 
spines. Others, such as the species called the pulchra, regalis, imperialis, oculator, 
are rather more shortened and widened.
