 poides (ib. 257 = = Physog. id., Lac.), from Tucuman. 



9. Geuus Polpocara, Sol. Distinguished from the last by the snaffle 

 (clypeus) deeply notched in front. The genus was proposed under the 

 name Philorea, ten years before, by Erichson (in Meyeu's Travels, Zool,

 (Polp. id. Sol., ib. 259.) 



Subdivision 2. Last joint of the jaw-palps in general broadly truncated, 

 more or less hatchet-shaped, or cup-shaped.

 the snaffle and upper lip hollowed out in front ; the last joint of the jaw- 

 palps oval, with the end truncated ; corslet adjoining the base of the shards ; 

 fore breastplate enlarged in front, covering the under side of the mouth like 

 a cape. E. pilosus (ib. 261) : uiger obscurus plus niinusve cinereo-pilosus, 

 capite grauulato, prothorace dorso dense punctato punctis pilis obtectis, 

 elytris obsolete grauulat is longitrorsum sinuato-striatis. Long. 8^-13 millim. 

 Chili, Coquimbo. 



11. Genus Cylindrothorus, Sol. Corslet cylindric, closely contiguous to 

 the base of the shards ; last joint of the jaw-palps strongly hatchet-shaped ; 

 chin three-lobed in front ; thighs club-shaped. A single new species, C. 

 pilosus (ib. 263) : fuscus oblongo-ovalis puiictatus, pilis griseis retrorsum 

 reflexis uumerosis erectisque raris concoloribus tectus, elytris tuberculis 

 obtusis depressis seriatis. 1 1 millim. From the Cape. 



12. Genus Amatodes, Dej. Corslet contiguous to the base of the shards ; 

 snaffle (clypeus) truncated in front with the section straight. End joint of 

 the jaw-palps strongly hatchet-shaped ; chin three-lobed in front ; feelers 

 thin; thighs simple. 1. A. gemmata (Pirn.}, F. 2. A. hirsutula (Dej.) : lata 

 brcvis suborbicularis, prothorace valde transverse, elytris granulatis hispidis 

 costa marginal! haud prominula, antennis versus apicem leviter sensim 

 iucrassatis. Long. 11 millim. All from Senegal. 



13. Genus Eideltts, Sol. Very like the preceding, but the feelers evi- 

 dently thicker towards the tip, and the end joint of the jaw-palps not so 

 broad. 1. E. requiem (ib. 270) : uiger rubromaculatus suboblougus, capite 

 valde punctato, prothorace prope basin dilatato punctato rugoso, elytris 

 dense tuberculatis. Long. 12 millim. 2. E. nodosus (ib. 271) : uiger iiidu- 

 mento terruleuto cinereus, globosus, prothorace supra medio valde longi- 

 trorsum bicalloso, elytris irregulariter tuberculis couicis nodosis. Long. 9 

 millim. Both from the Cape.
