. Coleoptera. Vol. I. [Longicornia. Part I.].

Prothorax a little longer than broad; the disc with a slightly raised oblong space in the middle, the rest of the surface rather strongly transversely wrinkled but witli the ridges more or less broken and convolute towards the sides. Elytra with a slight elevation close to the suture at about one-fourth of their length from the base; each elytron obliquely truncate at the apex, with a spine at the sutm-e and a feeble tooth at the outer angle; the sur- face, especially where rubbed bare of pubescence, has two kinds of punctures, some minute and very dense, others larger and less densely spread. The claw-bearing johit of the tarsi long and the paronychium nearly always distinctly visible between the claws. As will be seen. by the Fig. 50.—Hoploccramhyx spinicornis, Newm., c?. X f. measurements given, this species varies in size to a remarkable extent. It varies also in the relative length of the male antennae, these are shorter in propor- tion in small specimens and longer in the larger and more fully developed ones. 20-60 ; breadth 5-16 mm. Hab.
