6. Listroptera Germari, n. s. B.M. 



L. nigerrima, thorace curtulo, subrotundato, lateribus distincte 

 angulatis, elytris depressis cinereo-tomentosis, margine, vitta- 

 que media basi latiuscula, parte cinerea, fere impunctata. 



Listroptera carbonaria, Chevr. var. ? 



This species at first sight seems to resemble L. aterrima ; but 

 on closer inspection the thorax will be found to be shorter, the 

 sides distinctly angled, the posterior angle sharp and protuberant ; 

 antennae (male) slender, much longer than the body ; the elytra 

 are more pointed at the end and less distinctly serrated ; the black 

 vitta in the middle is very wide at the base ; the portion which 

 is grey from a short cinereous pubesceDce, is almost without 

 punctures, while on each elytron of the other species there are 

 four parallel rows of punctures. 



Length 5 lines.
