Resembles T. squiresi from South Brazil, in which, however, the three striae on each 



ron are much more strongly punctured, and are followed by traces of a fourth 

 similar stria.

. Tachys curvans. 



Parvus, subdepressus, angustus, flavo-testaceus ; antennis parum elongatis ; capite ut in T. corusco et affinibus ; 

 thorace transverso, postice (modice sinuatim) angustato, angulis posticis obtusis sed apice aeuto, sulculo 

 basali profundo angulum apud lineam dorsalem formante ; elytris parum ovatis, striis interioribus quatuor 

 distincte impressis, 2 a et 3 a versus apicem extus curvatis ibique interstitiis latis, striis exterioribus 

 punctulatis haud impressis.

The apical recurved striole is not clearly distinguishable from the striae, except under 

 a high power of the microscope, the second and third striae being much more 

 strongly impressed than in the allied species, curved outward towards the apex, and 



approaching within a short distance of the striole. The species is of the flattened 



form of the members of § 1 ; but it belongs to this section from the discoidal position 

 of both the elytral punctures. 



A species very closely resembling this, but having a rather narrower and more cordate 

 thorax, has been sent to me from California as Tachys, n. sp., by Mr. H. K. Morrison.
