PREFACE.

The object of this book is to present a Catalogue of the
well-established species of Longicorn Coleoptera, with
references to where they are figured and to some of the
more important synonyma, with descriptions of the species
which appear to be as yet unnoticed in Entomological
works.

It is intended for the following purposes : —

1. As a list of the species contained in the Museum Col-
lection. They are marked B.M. in the outer margm.

2. To point out the Desiderata of that Collection at the
period of publication.

3. As labels for the Cabinet.

The species marked Chevr. Coll. have been compared

IV ■

with the corresponding species in the extensive collection
of M. Chevrolat of Paris.

Mr. Adam White has taken every care in the deter-
mination of the species and the references to the synonyma
and figures.

The remaining Parts are considerably advanced, and will
follow as soon as they can be completed,

It is not impossible that these four Venezuela Insects may all
prove varieties of one species, to which the name Anacolus varia-
bilis may be given ; the antennae in all are beautifully flabellated.
They diifer from the other Anacoli in having the sternum flat
and dilated, somewhat as in Myzomorphus. A large series of

being different in all the six specimens in the Museum collection.
On the under side and the legs they all agree pretty closely.

Var. 1. M. SCUTELLATUS (unicolor). Head, thorax, scutel-
lum and elytra of a uniform yellow ; antennse black.

Var. 2. M. scutellatus (apicalis). Head, scutellum, a spot
on the shoulder and outer edge of elytra at the tip black, the
thorax and elytra yellow ; antennte black at the base, yellow
at the tip.

Var. 3. M. scutellatus (scapularisj. Head in front and
round the eyes and a spot on the hinder part black ; a spot in
front of each antenna and the rest of the head yellow ; thorax
yellow ; scutellum, a largish spot on each shoulder, apical por-
tion of each elytron, black ; rest of elytra very pale yellow, that
colom- descending both on the side and on the suture gradu-
ally to a point ; auteunai black.

Var. 4. M. scutellatus (plagiatus). Head above and en
the sides black ; thorax entirely yellow ; scutellum black,
narrowly margined with yellow ; elytra black ; outer margin
yellow except at tip ; suture yellow except at tip, forming on

eacli el3'tron an angled spot ; when the elytra are closed these
spots form a spear-shaped mark ; antennaj black.

Var. 5. M. scutellatus (thoracicus). Head above and on
the sides black ; thorax yellow, Avith a black spot in the mid-
dle ; scutellum and elytra uniform black ; antennae black.

Var. 6. M. SCUTELLATUS (bicolor). Similar to last, differing
in the sides of head being yellow, and in the thorax being en-
tirely yellow.

Head and antenna black. Thorax in front and behind black ;
a widish vermilion-coloured band extends across it from spine
to spine ; the thorax is as wide as the elytra ; on each side near
the front margin there is a tubercle, and on the back are two
tubercles placed transversely, the thorax in front of them being
somewhat grooved ; behind these two tubercles is a transverse
ridge, the sides of it rather abrupt. Scutellum black, smooth,
pointed, grooved at the base. Elytra pale yellow with two pa-
rallel nervures down the middle ; the base in the middle some-
what produced, and narrowly margined with a black band, which
is sinuated on each shoulder ; the apex of each elytron has three
points, one on the suture, another close to it, and a third near
the outer margin ; near the tip of each is a large oval black mark,
running behind into the suture. Under side black, the meta-
thorax pubescent ; the segments of the abdomen with scattered
hairs. Legs black, tibiae compressed, not dilated, rather hairy ;
femora, especially of hind legs, above andT)elow, margined with
hairs.

the notch of the eyes hollowed out and covered with grey hairs ;
antennae with the first five joints blackish ; the six following
somewhat ferruginous, the joints slighth' ciliated on the outside,
and with several short haii's at the end. Thorax very smooth,
poUshed, black, each side with a large orange spot not reaching
the fore margin, extending somewhat over the back ; where it is
sinuated, it reaches the hind margin ; fore margin ciUated, the
protuberant sides with a few scattered hairs. Scutellum sharp-
pointed at the apex. Elytra black, surface slightly wrinkled, a
broadish transverse pale yellow band just behind the base, slightly
internxpted at the suture, where it is contracted both in front
and behind ; behind the middle there is a large pale yellow spot,
not touching the margin and considerably separated from the

fore margin, dilated on each side about the middle ; behind the
dilatation it is twice as wide as before, and falls behind into a
smooth transverse space on the hinder edge of the thorax ; on
each side of the thorax are three depressions, the two hindermost
placed nearly transversely and scarred in the centre. Scutellum
blackish and acuminate at the tip. Elj'tra polished, with many
scattered punctm-es, only visible in some lights ; the surface is
highly iridescent, sinning with a yellowish metallic green ; when

is of a pale ferruginous, that colour being clearest on the legs ; it
is very closely covered with short ash-coloured hairs which lie
close to the surface. The thorax, through the hair, seems to be
covered \iith short waves ; there are four black bluntish warts,
devoid of hair, two on the back before the lateral spine, and two
on the sides between the spine and the fore edge. The elytra
have each four smooth ivory-like spots, two at the base not quite
touching, and two behind the middle with their edges touching,
the outer of these last is larger than the other. The joints of the
antennae are simple at the tip.

Length 9 to 9i hues.

Of an ochre-yellow, the head irregularly punctiu-ed; basal
joint of antennae rufous punctm-ed, and furrowed at the base ;
other joints of antennae black, with ash-coloured pubescence and
some scattered outstanding hairs ; third and fourth joints grooved
longitudinally all the length, the fifth indistinctly. Thorax rather
roughly punctured ; the spines and five warts rufous like the
thorax ; three of the warts are dorsal, the hindmost is depressed
and oblong. Elytra for a third part punctured at the base,
throughout the remainder smooth, with two longitudinal costae
on each in the middle, not extending to the tip ; on these costae
at the base are two elongated ivory-like lines, that nearest the
suture double the length of the other ; behind these and about
the middle of each elytron are two other ivory-like lines, the
inner about the same length as the inner at the base, the outer
more than twice as long and produced both before and behind be-
yond it. Elytra with a iew scattered longish hairs. Apical spine

This species is alhed to E. longi-lineata, the thorax being
somewhat similarly marked ; the two dorsal warts are higher ; be-
hind them there is no depressed wart, but in the same line,
though nearer the hind margin, there is a smooth depression.
The elytra are punctured as in the other, but the ivory line on the
outer of the two middle costs; is wanting, the inner being shorter
and broader than in that species ; behind it and about the middle
of the el\i:ra are two somewhat parallel ivory-like lineolets, the
outer somewhat longer than the inner, but not continued beyond
it at the base. The antennae, tibiae and tarsi are rufous without
any indications of black.
