166 MALACODERMATA. 
Brassy green, shining. Mouth, antenne, and palpi red; the club of the antenne a 
little pitchy, their length scarcely that of the head and thorax ; the latter longer than 
wide, with a few erect hairs and scattered obsolete punctures, the anterior and basal 
constricted lines faintly impressed. Elytra wider than the eyes, of nearly even width, 
sparsely pubescent, and with obsolete punctures, scarcely ever digested into rows ; 
sutural impressed line distinct at the apex, vanishing near the base. Legs red, tarsi 
rather pitchy. 
Remarkable as being the first instance I have met with of this genus extending beyond 
Chili. Only three examples have yet been found. 
Subfam. PHYLLOBALNIDES. 
EPIPHL@US. 
Epiphleus, Spinola, Rev. et Mag. Zool. 1841, p. 75 ; Mon. i. p. 5. 
The species are all New-World. All the members of the subfamily have the eyes 
largely and angularly excavated on the inner side. They are commonest in equatorial 
South America, but are also well represented in Central America, as Mr. Champion’s 
collections show.

Mercedes.

On comparing the specimens in Sallé’s collection, and which served as types for 
M. Chevrolat, there is no doubt they are identical with the species described by 
myself; but there is a discrepancy in his description, it being the first joint of the 
club of the antenne, 7. ¢. the ninth joint, which is pale, as I have correctly described it. 
The South-American specimens have this joint usually fuscous, as the two terminal
