HETEROMERA. 543 
beneath geneous, shining, sparsely, coarsely punctate at the sides only, for the rest almost smooth, the 
epipleurte with exceedingly coarse punctures; prosternum narrow, convex, declivous behind, slightly 
produced, the apex with a raised point ; mesosternum broadly excavate in front, V-shaped, declivous ; 
legs piceous, the tarsi rufo-testaceous ; intermediate and posterior femora and tibie ciliate on the inner 
side in the male. 
Length 113-18, breadth 5-53 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Mexico, Motzorongo in Vera Cruz (Flohr). 
Three examples. An allied undescribed species from Brazil is contained in 
Mr. F. Bates’s collection. 
ANZEDUS (p. 233). 
2(a). Anzedus eneotinctus. 
Oblong-oval, moderately broad, depressed, brownish-piceous with a brassy lustre, shining, sparsely clothed 
with rather long decumbent hairs, the antenns, oral organs, and legs rufo-testaceous, the femora slightly 
infuscate ; the entire upper surface densely, coarsely, confusedly punctate, the punctures on the prothorax 
a little coarser than those on the elytra, those on the apical portion of the latter longitudinally confluent. 
Head rather small, the eyes not very widely separated, exceedingly coarsely granulated ; antennze mode- 
rately stout, only extending to a little beyond the base of the prothorax, joint 3 twice as long as 2 and 
shorter than 4, 4-10 subequal, longer than broad; prothorax twice as broad as long, broader at the base 
than at the apex, the sides subangularly dilated a little behind the middle, strongly constricted before the 
base, and slightly flexuous and rapidly converging anteriorly, the apex deeply emarginate, the anterior 
angles prominent but obtuse, the base with a broadly truncated median lobe and deeply sinuate on either 
side between this and the acutely rectangular hind angles ; elytra considerably broader than, and nearly 
four times as long as, the prothorax; beneath pitchy-castaneous, very coarsely, sparsely punctate, the 
venter smooth in the middle; legs comparatively short. 
Length 72, breadth 34 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Acapulco (Hége). 
One example. Less elongate than A. interstitialis and A. similis; the head smaller, 
the eyes less widely separated and more coarsely granulated ; the thorax broader, 
deeply emarginate at the apex, and more deeply sinuate on either side at the base; 
the antenne and legs much shorter; the under surface coarsely punctured. 
2(s). Ansedus villosus. (Tab. XXIII. fig. 6.) 
Oblong-oval, broad, depressed, pitchy-black with an neous lustre, shining, somewhat thickly clothed with 
long, suberect hairs; the entire upper surface densely, coarsely, confusedly punctate, the punctures on 
the prothorax coarser than those on the elytra, those on the apical portion of the latter longitudinally 
confluent. Head as in A. eneotinctus, the oral organs rufo-testaceous; antenne stout, extending to a 
little beyond the base of the prothorax, piceous, joints 1-3 and the outer half of 11 rufo-testaceous, 3 twice 
as long as 2 and shorter than 4, 4-10 subequal in length and slightly increasing in width, 9 and 10 about 
as broad as long, 11 very much longer than 10; prothorax twice as broad as long, the sides dilated a 
little behind the middle, strongly constricted before the base, and obliquely converging anteriorly, the 
apex broadly but not very deeply emarginate, the anterior angles obtuse, the base with a broad, feebly 
emarginate median lobe and deeply sinuate on either side between this and the acute, outwardly-directed 
hind angles; elytra very little wider than, and barely three and a half times as long as, the prothorax ; 
beneath piceous, very coarsely punctate, the venter with widely scattered much finer punctures ; legs 
rather short, rufo-testaceous, the femora slightly infuscate. 
Length 74, breadth 4 millim.
