A small, oblong-ovate, shining, eneous form, with a very coarsely punctured pro- 
thorax, a small albo-squamose spot at the base of the third elytral interstice, a straight, 
deep prosternal sulcus, &c. ‘The rostrum of the female is flattened and smoother in its 
apical half. The sculpture of the prothorax is variable, the punctures on the disc 
being large and rounded in the type (which I have seen) and smaller in some of the 
Mexican examples. 
33. Pseudobaris lucens, sp. n. (Tab. XXI. figg. 25, 25a, 3.) 
A brilliant sneous form very like P. lucida (infra, p. 448), and differing as follows :—General shape oblong- 
ovate, due to the prothorax being rounded at the sides, the prothorax also more sparsely and not so coarsely 
punctured ; the elytra not depressed along the suture, the striz more finely punctate and almost straight 
to the apex, the interstices more feebly costate on the apical declivity and with the seriate punctures 
very minute; the pygidium of the 9 declivous and with the narrowly exposed portion separated from 
the rest by an incomplete transverse ridge, the prosternal sulcus shallow and feebly margined. 
Length 32-31, breadth 13-13 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Mexico (coll. Fry, in Mus. Brit.). 
One pair, so like the southern P. lucida that they were at first supposed to be a 
Mexican form of that species. The difference in the structure of the pygidium of the 
female is somewhat remarkable, there being no trace of a transverse ridge in the 
corresponding sex of P. lucida. The scales are wanting at the base of the third elytral 
interstice, but they are probably abraded; the female has, on the left elytron, an 
adventitious tubercle near the middle of this same interstice.

Pseudobaris parallelipennis, Solari, Ann. Mus. Genova, xlii. p. 434 (1906) '. 
Hab. Mexico, “ Sierra de Durango”! (Hoge, in coll. Solari). 
This is a form of P. apicalis with the prothorax very coarsely punctate, and the 
elytral strize broad and strongly crenato-punctate, the interstices transversely wrinkled, 
the third neither widened nor maculate at the base. 1 have seen one of the types, a 
female, which has the rostrum rather broad, alutaceous, and strongly flattened, and the 
antenne inserted at about the basal third, as in the same sex of P. apicalis. The 
prosternal sulcus is straight and deep. ‘The Durango habitat requires confirmation. 
35. Pseudobaris subparallela, sp. n. 
Oblong, narrow, shining, black, glabrous above, the punctures on the under surface and legs each bearing a 
minute, white, hair-like scale. Head finely punctate, transversely depressed between the eyes ; rostrum 
(¢) arcuate, moderately stout, about as long as the head and prothorax, very finely, sparsely punctate, 
(2) a little longer, smoother, and flattened from near the base, the antenne inserted at about the basal 
third (3) or fourth (2). Prothorax transverse, somewhat convex, constricted and much narrowed in 
front, the sides strongly rounded anteriorly and parallel behind; closely, coarsely punctate, except along
