Group Apomecynina. 
Genus Agennopsis, Thomson. 
Thomson, Archives Entoin. i. p. 302. 
This genus is tolerably well known to students of the Lon- 
gicornes under the name of Tal( 2 pora of Dejean^s catalogue. The 
body is of an elongate-elliptical shape with, obtusely rounded 
elytra, the apex of which is adorned in most of the species by a 
black spot, margined anteriorly with pale ashy, the pale streak 
existing in those species which are destitute of the black spot. 
The antennae, as is usual in the Aponiecyninae, are much shorter 
than the body, and filiform, with the terminal joints much abbre- 
viated, and the third of great relative length. The thorax is un- 
armed, the head small, with rounded vertex and forehead and 
retracted face. The claws of the tarsi are short and scarcely di- 
vergent.

Head retracted beneath, sprinkled with large punctures, and 
clothed with tawny-brown pubescence. Antennae about half the 
length of the body in the female, two-thirds the length in the 
male, filiform ; third joint as long as the three following taken 
together, dark brown. Thorax narrowed anteriorly and rounded 
on the sides, marked with large evenly distributed punctures, which 
leave a narrow impunctate dorsal space ; colour brown, sides each 
with a broad ashy-brown vitta. Elytra considerably broader than 
the thorax at the base, scarcely widened beyond the middle, then 
narrowed to the apex; surface smooth and marked with scattered 
punctures not arranged in lines ; colour light brown, obscurely
