PARYSATIS.—EPECTASIS. 113 
3. Parysatis canescens. 
Valde elongata, robusta, ochraceo-fusco subtiliter tomentosa, passim erecte fusco-pilosa.setisque albis (in elytris 
lineatim digestis) inspersis ; capite sparsim punctato; thorace crebre grosse punctato, linea discoidali levi ; 
elytris modice angustatis apice oblique truncatis, supra punctato-striatis ; corpore subtus pedibusque nigris 
griseo (haud dense) passim pubescentibus, tarsis fulvis. 
Long. 83 lin. — 
Hab. Mexico, 8.W. Yucatan. 
Received from Dr. Horn of Philadelphia. A very distinct species, having a super- 
ficial resemblance to Esthlogena porosa. 
ESTHLOGENA. . 
Esthlogena, Thomson, Syst. Ceramb. p. 107. 
Similar in range to Parysatis. Half a dozen species only have been described. Many 
of those entered under the genus in the Munich Catalogue are erroneously so placed, 
having been described as species of Estola, a genus belonging to a different group.

Hab. Nicaraeva, Chontales (Belt 4). 
2. Esthlogena albisetosa. 
. Elongata, angusta, subtiliter fusco tomentosa, setis albis passim variegata ; antennarum articulis basi albis ; 
pedibus rufescentibus, tarsis fulvis; thorace supra ineequali, punctis haud profundis grossissimis; elytris 
lineatim sparsim punctulatis, apice obtuse truncatis.

The true position of this curious genus is in the present group, notwithstanding its 
extremely narrow linear form and the unarmed sides of the thorax. The antennal scape 
has a similar narrow cicatrice to that of Parysatis. The middle cotyloid cavities, 
however, are perfectly closed ; but this is a character which, as Dr. Leconte has shown, 
does not possess the importance that Lacordaire attributed to it. The following is the 
only known species :— 
1. Epectasis attenuata. (Tab. VIII. fig. 16.)
