a dull pinkish-grey hue, spotted with dark brown, whilst the 
apical half is dull black, with a few greyish marks. Body be- 
neath clothed with silvery ashy pile. Legs slender ; all thighs 
abruptly clubbed, the fore and middle pair having on their 
under side near the base a small tooth ; they are of a dusky hue, 
with the base of the femora pallid. The hind legs in the male 
(the only sex known) are extremely long and slender. 
Of this elegant species I found only a single example at S. 
Paulo, Upper Amazons. 
8. Anisopodus gracillimuSy n. sp. 
A. oblongus, gracilis, olivaceus, nigro punctatus : thoracis spinis late- 
ralibus retrorsum curvatis, basi tumidis : elytris apice utrinque 
bidentatis, pone medium nigro undulato-fasciatis : pedibus pos- 
ticis ( c? ) fortiter elongatis, femoribus abrupte incrassatis. Long. 
2f-4 lin. 
Head olive-green. Anteunse blackish, base of joints reddish. 
Thorax with the sides dilated and tumid before the spines, which 
latter consequently appear curved, and are placed close to the 
hind angles; the pile of the surface has an olive-green hue, 
leaving three blackish streaks in the middle — two touching the 
front margin, and one, lying between the anterior two, the hind 
margin. Elytra with both angles of the truncation produced, 
but not to a notable length, the external one longest; lateral 
keels obtuse ; surface olive-green, spotted with blackish, an un- 
dulated fascia of the same colour crossing the middle, and two 
small patches lying on the sides, namely, one near the base, and 
one near the apex. Body beneath of an olive-ashy tinge. Legs 
dusky, base of thighs pale. Hind legs of the male greatly 
elongated ; the thighs much more thickly clubbed in the male 
than in the female. 
Taken once abundantly on dried twigs in the forest at Ega. 
9. Anisopodus ligneus, n. sp. 
A. oblongo-ovatus, fulvus, strigosus ; thoracis spinis lateralibus co- 
nicis, prope angulum posticum sitis : elytris postice valde attenu- 
atis, apice peroblique truncatis, angulis externis mucronatis ; fe- 
moribus abrupte clavatis. Long. 4^-5 lin. 
Head tawny brown, vertex spotted with dark brown. An- 
tennse reddish, tips of joints dusky. Thorax rather short, 
coarsely punctured, the lateral spines conical, and placed very 
close to the hind angles ; colour tawny brown. Elytra rather 
oval in shape, rapidly attenuated from three-fourths their length 
to the tip ; the tip is consequently pointed, and the truncation 
so short that each elytron may be said to end in a spine notched 
on the inner side, instead of being obliquely sinuate-truncate ;
