TALOSILLA.—ATIMIOLA. 119 
1. Teelosilla lateralis. 
Telosilla lateralis, Thomson, loc. cit. 
Hab. Mexico. 
PARESTOLA. 
Genus. Estole affine, at differt pedibus longioribus femoribusque longius pedunculatis, necnon thorace spina 
acuta laterali armato. Corpus oblongo-ovatum, subtiliter tomentosum. Caput angustum, inter antennas 
depressum; tubera antennifera elevata. Antenne graciles, albimaculate, subtus ciliate, scapo paullo 
elongato, intus mox a basi dilatato; articulo tertio maxime elongato, quarto paullo breviore, ceteris 
modice abbreviatis equalibus. Oculi magni, grosse granulati. Thorax elytris multo angustior, late- 
ribus acute spinosis. LElytra oblongo-ovata, modice convexa, crebre sublineatim punctata, apice rotun- 
data. Pedes elongati, graciles ; femora clavata, apice longe pedunculata ; tibia intermedie extus leviter 
sinuate. Prosternum inter pedes arcuatum, apice dilatatum. Mesosternum arcuatum; acetabula extus 
perparum aperta. 
The insect for which this genus is constituted differs from Hstola by its oblong-ovate 
elytra, relatively much narrower head and thorax, and its longer legs with longer and 
more slender peduncle to the clavate femora. It also differs by the lateral armature 
of the thorax consisting of a short sharp spine instead of a conical tubercle. The 
sculpture and clothing are very similar. 
1. Parestola zapotensis. 
Oblongo-ovata, atrofusca, nigro breviter setosa, elytris pallide fusco marmoratis; antennis articulis 4°, 6°, 8° 
albo-testaceo late annulatis ; capite thoraceque crebre punctatis, elytris crebre sublineatim punctatis. 
Long. 27-33 lin.

ATIMIOLA. 
Corpus parvum, oblongo-ovatum, tomentosum. Caput inter antennas depressum, antice infra oculos breve, 
paullo angustatum. Antenne corpore breviores, pallide annulate, scapo brevi, intus mox a basi dilatato, 
articulo tertio fere dimidio breviore quam quartus. Thorax quadratus, elytris angustior, dorso quin- 
quetuberoso, lateribus paullo post medium spina acuta armatis. Elytra oblongo-ovata, modice convexa, 
apice rotundata, supra setosa, crebre punctata. Prosternum ante pedes liberum, inter pedes arcuatum, 
apice dilatatum. Mesosternum nullo modo elevatum, concavum ; acetabula intermedia paullo aperta. 
Pedes breves; tibiee intermedie extus distincte sinuate. 
In the majority of its structural characters this genus closely resembles Hstola ; but 
the oblong-ovate elytra, acutely spined thorax, and especially the shortness of the third 
antennal joint as compared with the fourth, necessitate its separation. The thorax is 
gradually narrowed anteriorly from the tips of the lateral spines, and sinuated behind 
the spines—a structure quite foreign to Estola and Pogonocherus, and indicating an 
affinity towards Exocentrus.
