[9. Copiophora cephalotes, sp. n. (Tab. XIX. fig. 2.) 



$ . C. capitonis formis simillima ; capite et pronoto iisdem formis quam in ilia specie, at rugosioribus. 

 Differt ab ilia hisce cbaracteribus : — Verticis processus subtus rugulosus, punctatus ; facies tota rugosa, 

 carina utrinque infra oculos valde crenata. Pronotum utrinque rugatum. Elytra latiuscula, brevia, 

 valde elliptica, apice valde rotundata, coriacea, densissime punctato-reticulata, abdomen parum vel hand 

 superantia. Femora rugata, antica et intermedia in utroque margine spinis 5, in margine antico longis. 

 Tibia3 intermediae supra 6-spinos8e. Femora postica extus spinis longis 10, margine interno inermi; 

 lobi geniculares omnes utrinque valde spinosi. Ovipositor pro genere brevis, rectus, subacutus. Lamina 

 infra-genitalis incisa. 



$ . Long. 37 ; pronot. 105 ; elytr. 27 ; femor. post. 175 ; ovipos. 26 millim. 



Hab. Beazil, Rio Janeiro. 



This species is the only one known to us which bears two rows of spines on the 

 inferior edges of the anterior and intermediate femora. We have described it here so 

 as to prevent a possible confusion with C. capito.] 



Obs. — C. capito and C. cephalotes are of robust build, and by their wide and flattened 

 face they present some analogy with the genus Lirometopum (which, however, is 

 destitute of a vertical horn) ; C. cephalotes, moreover, has crenulated carina? on both 

 sides of the face and short elytra.
