2. Oxathres ErotyloideSf n. sp. 
O. ellipticus, flavo-testaceus ; elytris cinereis, utrinque nigro decem- 
maculatis. Long. 4| lin. cT • 
Head testaceous yellow^ with golden-yellow pile. Antennee 
black, with three white rings, sparingly clothed with long setae. 
Thorax small, yellow-testaceous ; lateral spines forming simply 
conical protuberances on the sides, a little behind the middle. 
Elytra of equal breadth to about three-fourths of their length, 
thence rapidly narrowing to their tips, which latter are briefly 
and rather obliquely truncated, the sutural angle of the trunca- 
ture rounded off, the external one produced into a short blunt 
tooth directed outwards ; surface densely clothed with dusky 
setae and punctured, with an obtuse smooth posterior carina on 
each side running into the apical tooth. The colour is ashy, 
with, on each elytron, ten rounded black spots — namely, three 
on the margin near the shoulders, four in a line parallel to 
and near the suture, and three on the disk. Body beneath and 
legs yellow-testaceous ; basal joint of tarsi equal in length to 
the two following taken together. Apical dorsal plate of the 
abdomen ( <S ) rounded and closely applied to the ventral plate, 
which is truncated and strongly bidentate. 
I found only one example of this singularly coloured species. 
It was met with at Ega, on an old stump in the forest, and was 
mistaken at first for an Erotylien, especially a species of Prio- 
teluSy which is almost identical in colours with this Longicorn, 
and which was often seen in similar places when the fallen trees 
were covered by fungi. 
3. Oxathres muscosus, n. sp. 
0. oblongus, cinereo-olivaceus, nigro conspersus : antennis, pedibus 
elytrisque longe setosis, his apice sinuato-tmncatis, angulis externis 
breviter mucronatis. Long. 2|-2j lin. $ . 
Head olivaceous, vertex with two dusky spots. Antennae with 
all the joints except the basal one furnished with a few longish 
and straight bristles, placed both above and beneath ; they are 
blackish in colour, with the bases of the joints (from the fourth) 
pallid. Thorax rather narrow; lateral spines thick, conical, 
and placed near the hind angles ; surface olivaceous, with dusky 
marks and four rather darker spots on the disk. Elytra oblong, 
apex sinuate-truneate ; sutural angle obtuse, external one pro- 
duced into a short tooth ; surface clothed with long black bris- 
tles, punctured towards the base, partly in lines, ashy olivaceous, 
with numerous black spots, some of which are united near the 
middle and form an imperfect flexuous belt. Body beneath 
ashy. Legs hirsute, dingy ashy ; tarsi reddish testaceous.
