Anoplomerus gracilis, n. sp. 
Cylindricus, rufo-testaceus ; thorace rotundato-ovato, 
linea abbreviata discoidali elevata nigra; elytris utrinque 
maculis eburneis duabus geminatis fusco-cinctis^ una 
paulo ante medium, altera inter medium et apicem, 
maculaque fusca ad angulum suturalem; pedibus prtecipue 
femoribus elongatis. 
Long. 6 lin. . 
Apparently closely allied to A. glohuUcollis (Buquet) , 
but very much smaller. Head opaque, sometimes with 
a black spot on the occiput; thorax ovate, with sides 
equally rounded, surface opaque, owing to the minute 
sculpture, centre with a short elevated line covered by a 
black spot. Scutellum black. Elytra linear, of same 
width as the thorax; apex narrowly sinuate-truncate, 
with each angle of the truncature briefly spinous ; surface 
granulate-punctate, with an erect dark bristle arising 
from each puncture, the sculpture much weaker near the 
apex ; each elytron has two geminate elevated ivory 
spots, one at one-third, the other at two-thirds the length, 
and both encircled by a dusky ring ; each spot is divided 
into two by a line of coarse punctures, and the inner 
portion is shorter than the outer ; the latter, also, is more 
elevated, forming part of an elevated line extending 
down the elytron. There is a dusky spot within the 
sutural apex, which is connected by means of an indis- 
tinct dusky line with the dark ring of the posterior 
ivory spot. The legs are elongate, especially the femora, 
the posterior pair extending much beyond the apex of 
the elytra; the knees are black.
