Prothorax transverse, a little \\ idened just before the middle, armed there on each side with a sharp spine. Stridulatory area on mesonotum with a shallow groove or depression along the middle. Elytra broad, rather short, rounded at the apex, completely covering the abdomen posteriorly. Front coxse some- what transverse ; their acetabula strongly angulate ou the outer side and closed posteriorly. Legs siuiilar in length and form to those of Ajxitopliysis; third tarsal joint cleft beyond the middle. Intercoxal process of abdomen narrow, somewhat sharp in front. Wing-venation differs from that of Oxymlrns by the absence of a cell from vein A 1. This genus is closely related to Apatophysis, Chev. ; it differs chiefly in the form and length of the antennae and the relative proportions of the first four or five joints, also in the more complete venation of its wings. The type species has a great resemblance in form to some of the Prionince, and at first sight might be mistaken for a species of that subfamily. 67. Peithona prionoides, sp. n. Black; bare of pubescence and dull above, very sparsely pubescent and somewhat nitid on the underside. Head strongly and very thickly punctured, except at the apex of the clypeus, along the channel between the antenual supports and over a slightly depressed area on the vertex, the last of these sparsely punctured, the other two impunctate. An- tennae subnitid ; fifth joint at the apex and the succeeding joints for the greater part of their length finely carinate in front, with an elongated poriferous pit on each side of the carina. Prothorax transverse ; strongly and very thickly punctured over the middle- of tiie disc, less thickly towards the sides, almost impunctate around the lateral spines. 8cutellum broad,
