EPISPHALES.—TMETOGONUS. 39 
the second and third strie distinctly punctate, the more external parts very coarsely punc- 
tate in series, and with only small intervals between the punctures; the yellow marks 
are very conspicuous, the third interstice being yellow in greater part, there being, 
however, a long interruption on the middle; the fourth interstice has on the middle a 
yellow mark, which joins and overlaps the interrupted extremities of the mark on the 
third interstice; the apices of the elytra are nearly straight, truncate, but the angles 
are slightly prominent. The legs are long and slender, red, the tips of the femora 
black. The underside of the head and metarostrum dull and free from sculpture, the 
basal fovea being very conspicuous. 
Ten specimens. 
The more elongate rostrum of the male and the more conical head less abruptly 
constricted behind make it very doubtful whether . elegans can remain associated 
with FL. rugicollis and its allies.

Ferrugineus, capite thoraceque opacis ; elytris flavo-lineatis, externe fortiter punctatis.

This is very closely allied to £. elegans, but is a more slender insect, with thin 
antenne, and much less coarse punctuation on the outer part of the elytra. In the 
male the sculpture of the prorostrum is obsolete. ‘Though in other respects similar to 
E. elegans, I think it is specifically distinct therefrom, especially as the three male 
examples agree almost exactly. 
PHYMECHUS. 
Phymechus, Senna, Notes Leyd. Mus. xvi. p. 219 (1895). 
This genus consists of a single species.

Phymechus jordani, Senna, Notes Leyd. Mus. xvi. p. 220°. 
Hab. Mexico, Oaxaca (mus. Rothschild 1). 
I am indebted to the Hon. Walter Rothschild for the opportunity of examining this 
species, of which we have no specimen in our collections. | 
TMETOGONUS. 
Tmetogonus, Senna, Notes Leyden Mus. xvi. p. 224 (1895). 
_ This is another of the genera recently established by Senna for insects closely allied 
to Episphales and Orychodes. 1 do not think the length of the head of much 
importance as a generic character ; it is, at any rate, not so in Arrhenodes. It is rather
