centre of the prothorax!. Each elytron has two deep longitu- 

 dinal furrow s, the first originating by the side of the scutellum 

 and extending to the apex ; the second originating dorsally 

 near the shoulder and terminating considerably before the 

 apex ; exterior to this furrow are several ill- denned and in- 

 constant linear impressions. 



Inhabits Brazil. A single specimen (from which the description 

 is taken) is in the cabinet of the Entomological Club ; a second is 

 in that of the Rev. F. W. Hope, and three others in that of Mr. 

 Children.

Parandra „ G. R. Gray, loc. cit. tab. lx. fig. 2. and 



tab. lxxv. fig. 1. anatomical detail. 

 Deep red; extremely glabrous; antennae pitchy black ; elytra 

 red, with a sutural and marginal black longitudinal stripe on 

 each; tibiae black. In sculptural markings those given with 

 the preceding species will nearly describe the present ; the 

 impression on the clypeus is less deep ; the prothorax is more 

 attenuated posteriorly, and the posterior angles are more pro- 

 minently and acutely produced ; exterior to the second furrow 

 of each elytron is a very distinct longitudinal linear impression 

 abbreviated at each end. 



Inhabits the Island of Cuba. A single specimen is in the cabinet 

 of the Rev. F. W. Hope, and two in that of Mr. Children. 



Genus Hectarthrum, Newman. 

 In habit resembling Passandra, but having the antennae 

 considerably shorter, moniliform, and more or less incrassated 

 in the middle ; the joints separately are shorter and more ro- 

 bust, often nearly circular, and the terminal joint is rarely 

 larger, and in some species smaller than the rest ; it is com- 

 pressed and truncate. In one sex the antennae are obviously 

 incrassated in the middle, the sixth joint being the largest. 

 The head has a deep transverse furrow, and two equally deep 

 frontal longitudinal fuirows, which unite with the transverse 

 one. The tarsi are 5-jointed, the basal joint being shorter than 

 the rest.
