ANOPLISCHIOPSIS. 303 



the outer limb for the same distance, flavo-testaceous ; the antennae black, with the two basal joints 

 testaceous beneath; the legs testaceous; beneath, the prothorax excepted, in great part piceous ; the, 

 upper surface somewhat thickly clothed with rather long hairs, which partake of the ground-colour, the 

 lower surface with decumbent yellowish-cinereous hairs. Head convex, densely punctured, the frontal 

 carina flexed downwards and not very prominent ; antennae extending to a little beyond the humeri, joints 

 2 and 3 small, equal, 4-10 rather broadly triangular, slightly longer than broad. Prothorax as long as 

 broad, cqnvex, the sides gradually converging from the middle forwards, slightly rounded in front ; the 

 hind angles acute, scarcely divergent, strongly produced, finely carinate above ; the surface thickly, finely 

 punctate, the punctures becoming coarser towards the apex, deeply canaliculate behind. Scutellum with 

 a few scattered punctures. Elytra about three times the length of the prothorax, gradually narrowing 

 from the middle ; deeply punctate-striate, the punctures closely placed ; the interstices slightly convex 

 throughout, somewhat thickly punctured. Beneath thickly punctate. 

 Length 5|-5|, breadth \\ millim. 



Hab. Panama, San Miguel in the Pearl Islands (Champion). 



Two specimens, apparently male and female, one having the antennse slightly shorter 

 than the other. Allied to A. bivittatus, but less elongate, the median vitta on the 

 thorax differently shaped, the elytral vitta broader, more oblique, not narrowed behind, 

 and extending to near the apex, the elytral margins also testaceous to near the apex. 

 It is smaller than any of the described species of the group Dicrepidiini. 



4. Anoplischiopsis fuscipennis. 



Moderately elongate, narrow, shining ; the head black, the prothorax rufo-testaceous, the scutellum and elytra 

 pitchy-black ; the antennas black, with the two basal joints testaceous ; the legs testaceous ; beneath, the 

 prothorax excepted, piceous ; the entire upper surface somewhat thickly clothed with rather long fulvous 

 hairs, the lower surface with yellowish-cinereous hairs. Head convex, densely, rugosely punctured, the 

 frontal carina moderately prominent; antennae about half the length of the body, joint 3 small, slightly 

 longer than 2, 4-10 rather broadly triangular. Prothorax as long as broad, convex, the sides gradually 

 converging from the base, slightly rounded in frout ; the hind angles strongly produced, slightly diver- 

 gent, without distinct carina above ; the surface thickly, finely punctate, the punctures becoming coarser 

 towards the apex. Scutellum with a few scattered punctures. Elytra three times the length of the 

 prothorax, gradually narrowing from the middle, the apices conjointly rounded ; finely punctate-striate ; 

 the interstices flat on the disc, feebly convex at the sides, somewhat thickly punctured. Beneath thickly 

 punctured. 



Length 6, breadth 1| millim. ( 6 •) 



Hab. Nicaeagua, Chontales (E. M. Janson). 



One specimen. Allied to A. bivittatus, but differing from that species in having the 

 elytra entirely piceous and clothed with fulvous hairs, and the hind angles of the thorax 

 without distinct carina. 



5. Anoplischiopsis lineatocollis. (Tab. XIV. fig. 2, $ .) 



Moderately elongate, rather convex, shining ; testaceous, the eyes and the front of the head black, a broad 

 median vitta on the prothorax, narrowing behind, the scutellum, and a broad sutural stripe on the elytra, 

 extending to about one-fourth from the apex, pitchy-brown ; the antennas black, joints 1-3 testaceous at 

 the tip ; the oral organs, and the under surface, the sides of the propleurae excepted, piceous, the legs 

 pitchy-brown ; above thickly clothed with moderately long hairs, which partake of the ground-colour, 

 beneath sparsely clothed with yellowish-cinereous hairs. Head convex, densely, rather coarsely punctured, 

 the frontal carina moderately prominent, flexed downwards in the middle ; antennas extending very little
