GANSIA. 283 
1. Gansia bicolor. (Tab. VI. fig. 20.) 
Hlongata, parum pubescens et parum punctata, fusco-rufa, femoribus basi tarsisque pallidis, abdominis segmentis 
duobus basalibus ad basin late, tertio angustius, rufo-testaceis ; antennis elongatis, gracilibus, variegatis, 
basi testacea, articulis tribus penultimis nigro-fuscis, ultimo fere albido. 
Long. 33-4 millim. 
Hab. Guatema.a, El Tumbador 2500 feet, Cerro Zunil 4000 to 5000 feet (Cham- 
pion). 
Antenne slender and elongate; the basal joint stout and long, articulated with the 
second joint in such a manner that the antenne are bent backwards at this spot more 
readily than from the base; second joint elongate and slender ; third also long and 
slender, a little longer than the second; the following joints also long and slender, but 
each a good deal shorter and slightly broader than its predecessor, the tenth joint 
being scarcely so long as broad ; terminal joint elon gate, longer than the two preceding 
together. Head almost impunctate, deeply impressed along the middle. Thorax 
about as long as broad, truncate in front, anterior angles rounded, slightly narrowed 
from the widest part backwards, but again a little broader at the base, very broadly 
impressed along the middle, but not canaliculate, very little punctate. Elytra rather 
convex, broad, but little longer than the thorax, very sparingly punctate. Hind 
body rather narrow and elongate, very little constricted at the base; first and 
second segments reddish yellow, but black at the hind margins; third segment yellow- 
red at the base only, the other segments black, the surface shining, very little punctate ; 
the basal three segments each very deeply impressed at the base. Legs elongate and 
very slender, nearly black ; the base of the femora and the tarsi very pale yellow. 
Falagria varicornis, Sharp, is allied to this elegant and delicate species. Several 
specimens of G. bicolor have been found by Mr. Champion. The male has the antenne 
more elongate than they are in the female, and the basal joint much enlarged. 
2. Gansia tibialis. 
Elongata, parum pubescens et parum punctata, testacea, abdominis segmentis 3° et 4° nigro-signatis, tibiis 
quatuor posterioribus prope basin fuscis, antennarum articulis penultimis nigro-fuscis, ultimo fere albido. 
Long. 37 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, 4000 to 5000 feet (Champion). 
Antenne scarcely so long as head, thorax and elytra, a good deai thickened towards 
the extremity; the eighth joint about as long as broad; ninth and tenth transverse. 
Head rather broad, narrowed gently from the eyes to the neck. Thorax not so long as 
broad, broadly but indistinctly impressed along the middle. LElytra sparingly but 
somewhat roughly punctate. Third segment of hind body in greater part black, the 
base, however, yellow, the yellow colour being more extended backwards at the sides 
than in the middle ; fourth segment similarly coloured, except that the black portion 
reaches in the middle to the preceding segment, so that only a patch on each side is yellow.
