Oopterinus aeneopiceus (p. 270). 



We are indebted to Signor Solari for a specimen of this species from the " Sierra d 

 Durango " (Hoge). It was described from a single example from Mexico belonging t 

 the Berlin Museum.

S . Oblong, subopaque, black, the elytra with a large triangular scutellar patch, extending narrowly down- 

 wards along the suture, a spot on the shoulder, an oblong patch on the third interstice just beyond the 

 middle, a similar patch on the fifth near the apex, and the apical margin, ferruginous, the antennae, 

 knees, tibias, and tarsi also more or less ferruginous. Head densely punctate, sulcate between the eyes, 

 the latter unemarginate and somewhat widely separated ; rostrum short and very stout, densely punctate, 

 the frontal furrow extending down the basal half. Prothorax transversely convex, strongly rounded at 

 the sides, about as wide as the elytra ; the surface sharply carinate down the middle, the disc with 

 closely placed, fine, raised, radiating lines, the base, sides, and apex confluently punctate. Elytra 

 moderately long, subparallel, with narrow, finely punctured striae, the interstices transversely wrinkled, 

 finely granulate, and angularly raised externally. Pygidium coarsely punctured and granulate. Anterior 

 femora with a rather long, curved, blunt tooth, the other femora obsoletely dentate. 

 Length 34-, breadth 1| niillim.

1 (a). Cholus longipennis, sp. n. (Tab. VIII. figg. 28, 28 a, 6 .) 



<$ . Elongate-oval, rather narrow, black ; the depressed portions of the surface (a broad space along the flanks 

 of the prothorax, and the median portion of the metasternum and abdomen, excepted) somewhat thickly 

 clothed with small, narrow, oval, ochreous scales, those on the prothorax mainly condensed into a broad 

 curved submarginal vitta on each side and an anteriorly abbreviated median stripe, the scales on the 

 elytra clustered into a longitudinal band between each of the raised granulate interstices, the scutellum 

 bare, the legs with scattered whitish hairs. Head rugosely punctate between the eyes ; rostrum about 

 as long as the head and prothorax, moderately stout, feebly curved, the basal portion flattened, rugosely 

 punctate, and finely carinate, the apical portion rather sparsely punctured. Prothorax a little broader 

 than long, arcuately narrowing from the base, the latter deeply bisinuate ; closely punctate, the disc 

 transversely rugose and subgranulate, slightly depressed down the middle and along the spaces covered 

 by the submarginal vittae. Elytra very little wider than, and fully two and a half times the length of, 

 the prothorax ; seriate-punctate, the interstices raised and each with a row of closely placed smooth 

 granules. Beneath sparsely punctate and pilose down the middle, squamose along the sides, the
