LISTRUS.—ASTYLUS. 127 
7. Listrus corallipes. 
Oblongus, parum depressus, niger, supra enescens, nitidulus, vix punctatus, parce pubescens ; antennis pedi- 
busque rufis, his articulo ultimo, illis ad apicem nigris. Long 3 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Toxpam (Sailé); Guatnmwara, San Joaquin (Champion). 
About the size of Z. canescens, but readily distinguished from any species described 
here (except L. wneus) by the red legs. The almost entire absence of distinct punc- 
tuation is also characteristic. The head is finely rugose at the base; and the thorax 
under a very strong glass is seen to be covered with extremely close fine punctuation ; 
and the elytra are rugulose transversely at their bases ; but the sculpture is all very fine. 
About five or six joints at the base of the antenne are rusty, and the legs a fine coral- 
red. ‘The coxe are black. | 
Only two specimens from San Joaquin and one from Toxpam have come under my 
notice. 
8. Listrus metallicus. 
Oblongo-ovalis, parvulus, niger, supra seneus, nitidus, parcius sat fortiter punctatus ; antennis basi, tibiis tarsisque 
picescentibus, his articulo ultimo nigris. Long. vix 2 millim. 
Hab. Guaremata, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
This is the smallest species I have yet seen; it is of a more metallic brassy colour 
than any other, and is very distinctly punctured, with scarcely visible pubescence. ‘The 
head is biimpressed just behind the insertion of the antenne; the elytra are evenly 
rounded at their apex. The antenne have the basal joint black, then two red, and the 
remainder black. 
Two specimens only taken on Cerro Zunil. 
ASTYLUS. 
Astylus, Castelnau, Silb. Rev. Ent. iv. p. 32. 
These are middling-sized or large insects adorned with fasciz or vitte, and with the 
head subrostrate and the upper surface hairy. They have hitherto only been recorded 
from South America : two species occur in Chili; one has been found in Patagonia; the 
rest are distributed over the southern continent, nineteen species being all that are yet 
described. JI have a specimen from Venezuela identical with the one here recorded. 
1. Astylus vittatus. (Tab. VII. fig. 9.) 
Niger; capite prothoraceque dense nigro-pilosis ; elytris rubris, sutura, apice, costis duabus in callo subapicali 
conjunctis et callo humerali nigris. Long. 83-93 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion).—Sovutn America, Venezuela (coll.
