Neocollyris juscitarsis NEOCOLLYRIS. 257 The colour of the legs, which is very constant, will distinguishthis species from its nearest allies ; it is very variable in size,colour, and also, to a certain extent, in the shape of the pronotutnand in the sculpture of the elytra. 30. Neocollyris saphyrina, Chaud, Collyris saphyrina, Chaudoir, Bull. Soc. Moscou, 1850, p, 18 ; id., Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 1864, p. 498, pi. 7, fig. Collyris boysii, Chaudoir, op. cit. 1860, p. 288. Allied to N. fuscitarsis, from which it may be known by itsaverage larger size, the much stronger and more rugose punc-tuation of the elytra, the dark tibia?, and the more slenderpronotum which has a longer collum, and has hardly any traces of rugose stria?; the antenna?, are dark at the base, with thecentral joints dark and ringed distinctly with red, and the apicaljoints fuscous or reddish fuscous ; the sterna are very finelypunctured
