 n. 8 (1852). 



A. rhomhifer and A. rhombeus are very closely allied and doubt- 

 fully distinct. Beyond a generally darker liue and greater incras- 

 sation of the posterior femora in the male of A. rhombeus, there is 

 scarcely a character to separate the two forms. 



Amorbus angustior. (Plate XXIX. fig. 2.) 

 Fhysomerus angustior Westw. in Hope Cat. ii. p. 9 (1842). 

 This species can be separated from A. obscuricornis Westw., 

 to which it is closely allied, by the colour of the posterior 

 tibiae. Dr. Mayr (Eeise Novara, Hem. pp. 86-7) separates the 

 species by the colour of the antennae, and by the presence or 

 absence of a small black apical spot on the red upper surface of 

 the abdomen. These characters are, however, both inconstant, and 

 this distincthon cannot be maintained. Westwood omitted to 

 describe the colour of the posterior tibise in his A. angustior, but 

 the unique type is now figured. 



Amorbtis subsereatcts. (Plate XXIX. fig. 5.) 



Fhysomerus subserratus Westw. 



The_ only really distinguishing feature of this species from the 

 above is found in the character described by Westwood as " tibiis- 

 que pone angulum medium marginis interni 4-serratis."
