RUTELIN^: 75 



7 Body oblong-oval, strongly convex, moderately shining and pale 

 luteo-flavate in color throughout above, without trace of metallic 

 lustre, except an excessively faint glint on the pronotum; under 

 surface and pygidium very uniform piceous-brown, with very feeble 

 metallic lustre, the legs and tarsi uniform pale brownish-testaceous, 

 with feeble coppery lustre; head fully half as wide as the prothorax, 

 rather strongly but sparsely punctate, the clypeus more coarsely 

 and confluently, broadly trapezoidal, with slightly arcuate sides, the 

 apex feebly reflexed, truncate and barely two-fifths as wide as the 

 base, with rounded angles as usual; eyes very moderate; antennal 

 club a little shorter than the stem; prothorax slightly more than 

 twice as wide as long, the sides parallel and straight basally, con- 

 verging and nearly straight in more than apical half, broadly rounded 

 at the turn, the apical angles moderately acute, the basal more than 

 right but not rounded; ambient bead very thick at the sides, entire 

 at base; surface deeply punctured, rather coarsely and closely laterad; 

 scutellum wider than long, much rounded, minutely and remotely 

 punctulate; elytra rather inflated and somewhat wider than the 

 prothorax posteriorly, a fourth longer than wide, broadly, obtusely 

 rounded at apex, the sutural angles obtuse, without trace of denti- 

 tion; surface with very feebly and obsoletely impressed lines and 

 widely and remotely diffused, excessively minute punctulation, the 

 punctures of the impressed lines more evident but feeble; pygidium 

 densely, transversely and rather coarsely vermiculato-rugose, more 

 discretely though closely punctate at apex, nude, with a few setae 

 at the apical margin; mesosternal process rather narrow; legs notably 

 stout; last ventral (cf) densely sculptured in anastomosing trans- 

 verse lines, slightly shining, the apical sinuation very feeble, the 

 coriaceous seventh segment very short, black in color. Length (cf) 

 25.0 mm.; width 13.8 mm. Brazil (Para), Baker.

8 Form briefly subcylindric, alutaceous in lustre, dark rufo-castaneous 

 throughout, the head, pronotum and scutellum black, with greenish 

 lustre, the tibiae and tarsi blackish, not metallic, the elytra with 

 extremely faint violaceous lustre; head half as wide as the prothorax, 

 with rather prominent eyes, somewhat sparsely, unevenly and ir- 

 regularly sculptured throughout and on the clypeus, which is more 

 opaque, short and broadly trapezoidal, the apex but very feebly 

 reflexed and not half as wide as the base; antennae red-brown, the 

 club not quite as long as the stem; prothorax not quite twice as wide 

 as long, notably convex, the sides broadly rounded, converging 

 slightly basally and gradually anteriad, the apical angles prominent, 

 the basal obtuse but not rounded, the ambient bead strong, entire 

 at base, abruptly obliterated for a short distance medially at apex; 

 punctures rather sparse, fine but distinct, a little stronger and closer 

 laterad; scutellum wider than long, nearly smooth; elytra barely 

 wider than the prothorax, parallel, with subevenly arcuate sides, 

 abruptly very obtuse at apex, nearly a third longer than wide; 

 sculpture micro-reticulate and with unimpressed series of small and 

 widely spaced punctures, obsolete laterad; pygidium with transverse
