elongato, ante medium leviter rotundato-dilatato antice sensim 

 angustato, suhtilissime corrugato fere Icevi ; elytris sicut in 

 C. tieiitei acute punctulato-striatis, striisque calenatis utrinque 

 tribus et interstitiis tribus integris exterioribus, apice ( c? $ ) 

 oblique sinuatim truncatis ; corpore subtus lavissimo. J . Tibice 

 anticce intiis simplices ; tarsi articulis 4 subtus spongiosis. 



Long. 26-30 millim. 



Ichang. A good series of examples. 



Pristodactyla agonoides. 



Taphrise nivali {Panz.) haud dissimilis, sed thorace minore et 

 avgustiore. Fusco-nigra, nitida, thoracis tnarginelaterali, palpis, 

 antennis j^sdibusque rufescentihus ; caj>ite anguste ovato Icevi ; 

 tJioiace parvo anguste ovato sat convexo polito, postice magis 

 quam antice angustato, a7igulis posticis fere rotundatis, foveis 

 angustis ; elytris anguste ovatis, apice haud sinuatis, convexis 

 acute siriatis, interstitiis parum convexis, 'i" postice unipunctato ; 

 pedibus minus elongatis, tarsis 4 posterioribus articulis 1° et 2" 

 extus versus dorsum oblique sulcatis, unguibus dimidio basalt 

 longe pectinatis. Prosternum lateribus tantum marginatum, 

 apice lavi. 



Long. 7| millim. 



Ichang. 



Lebia prattiana. 



L. fuscse (Morawitz) similis, sed multo major et valde differt 

 thorace antice usque ad collum rotundato-a?igustato ; L. xantho- 

 phanse (Bates) magis affinis. Oblonga, postice paullo dilatata, 

 fusco-nigra, polita ; partibus oris, antennis pedibusque obscure 

 rufo-testaceis, femoribus apice plus minusve fuscis ; capite rugose 

 et sparsim punctulato ; thorace transversa a medio usque ad collum 

 rotundato-angicstato, angiitis anticis nullis, postice vix angustato, 

 angulis posticis pauUulum obtusis, lobo basali brevissimo, 

 dorso transversim ruguloso, lateribus late explanatis et alte 

 reflexis ; elytris acute punctulato-striatis, interstitiis convexis, 

 3° bipunctato, apice flexuoso-truncatis, angulis externis breviter 

 dentatis. Tarsi articulo 4° longe bilobato, unguibus 8° et 9" 

 pectinatis. Venter versus apicem punctulato-pubescens. 

 Long. 12 millim. 



This species connects the Asiatic group of Lebia, in which the 

 thorax is wholly rounded anteriorly (without anterior angles) and 

 the outer angle of the elytral truncature dentiform, with the 

 numerous group iv. /3 of Chaudoir's Monograph of the Lebiides, in 

 which the elytral interstices are similarly convex, but the outer angle 

 of the truncature rounded &c. L. prattiana, in fact, resembles 

 much a large L. caligata (Bates). 



Lebia xanthophana. 



Lebia xanthophana, Bates, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1888, p. 382. 



Mr. Pratt has sent a numerous series of this species from Ichang,
