grey with a pinkish shade, irregularly spotted with blackish, and 
having each, behind the middle, an oblique spot or fascia ex- 
tending from the side to the middle ; the deflexed margins are 
of a light silky-brown hue, like the under surface of the body. 
Legs dusky, base of thighs and tarsi pale testaceous. The hind 
legs of the male considerably elongated ; the thighs in both 
sexes abruptly clavate.

4. Anisopodus sparsusj n. sp. 
A. subellipticus, carneo-griseus, sericeus, nigro punctatus : thoracis 
spinis lateralibus brevissimis, antice a lateribus vix distinctis : 
elytris apice oblique sinuato-truncatis, angulis vix productis, absque 
tuberculis centrobasalibus, pone medium atro-fusco fasciatis. 
Long. 4^-5^ lin. 
Head greyish silky. Antennae reddish, tips of joints dusky. 
Thorax pinkish grey, punctured, bimaculate ; lateral spines on 
their anterior sides scarcely distinct from the sides of the thorax, 
their minute points only being directed outwards ; they have, 
therefore, not the hook-like shape of those of A. cognatus. 
Elytra with the angles of their truncation scarcely produced ; 
their surface is grey, with a pinkish tinge, finely spotted with 
blackish, and with a largish black spot marking the site of the 
centro-basal tubercles (which are quite absent), besides an angled 
fascia of the same hue crossing behind the middle. The deflexed 
sides and under surface of the body are light brown and silky. 
The legs are reddish, with the tips of the thighs, tibise, and tarsi 
dusky. The hind legs of the males are greatly elongated, but 
their thighs are not very abruptly clubbed, 
Santarem and Obydos; generally on severed and hanging 
sipos, or woody climbers, near the borders of clearings. It ap- 
pears to be not uncommon in Cayenne, examples from which 
country have been sent to me from Paris as A. spar ms of Dejean^s 
catalogue.
