140. Euparius albiceps spec. nov. 



c??. In sti'iicture similar to E. (ijiiralis (1839) Fabrs., rostrum fiuely cariuate 

 mesiallj', hinder angle of pronotum rather more acute, elytra more depressed 

 above, with the subbasal callosities higher. Head and rostrum, a mesial line 

 on pronotum interrupted before middle, widened behind, a large sutnral area on 

 elytra, extending from base to apical declivity and being laterally sinuate just 

 behind middle, greyish white ; two subapical and a postmedian dot on each side 

 of pronotum, with a fourth dot in between, grey or clayish ; sides of elytra 

 sparsely dotted with grey. Underside and femora irrorated with clayish grey. 

 Tibiae with an indistinct grey middle ring ; upperside of first and fourth tarsal 

 segments grey. Funiculus of antenna either brown or rufous. False mentam 

 with distinct mesial carina. 



Ilab. Brazil : Serra de Baturite, Ceara, January 1895 (Gounelle), type ; 

 Marco da Legua, Para, March 189.5 (Gounelle) ; Cayenne. 



Two pairs. 



E. tursalis (1839) Fahrs. is easily distinguished from albiceps by the acute 

 angle of the prothorax, the black first and second tarsal segments, the colour of 

 the prothora.x, etc. 



141. Euparius parvulus spec. nov. 



cJ. Black, shaft of antenna and legs rufous, end-segment of the former 

 luteons ; upperside pubescent tawny-olive, irrorated with brown, first and third 

 interspaces of elytra greyish white, tcsselated with brown, a few grey-white 

 linear spots also in the fifth and seventh interspaces ; underside covered with 

 a rather sparse grey pubescence (pubescence of legs soiled by the specimen having 

 been glued on paper). 



In shape similar to small specimens of E. Lunatus ; frons much narrower ; 

 basal depression of pronotum less extended forward. Antennal segments 7 and 

 8 almost globular, 9 not longer than apically broad, 11 much longer than 9, 

 but only one-fourth longer than broad, being very broad. Lateral angle of 

 pronotal carina a little less than 90°. Mesosternal process flat, declivous at 

 apex, truncate. 



Length, 4 mm.

1 c?. 



This insect reminds one of PhauUmia. 



142. Euparius hypsideres spec. nov. 



cJ. Black ; palpi and antenna rufous, segments 9 and 10 a little darker; 

 tibiae and tarsi rufescent. Pubescence clayish grey, rather long, forming dots on 

 l)ronotum ; apex of mid- and hindtibiae brown ; second tarsal segments less 

 densely pubescent grey than first. 



Rostrum truncate, not sinuate mesially. Frons more than twice as broad 

 as the eye is high in frontal view. Antennal segment 3 very little longer than' 4, 

 8 hardly twice as long as broad, 9 about one-third longer than broad, 11 elliptical, 

 one-fourth longer than broad. Prothorax conical, twice as wide at base as at 

 apex, laterally sinuate before base, basal angles acute, produced back- and side- 

 wards ; disc very strongly convex, globose, with a faint depressed mesial line
