Capt. P. P. Kine’s South American Coleoptera. 183 
Scaritide that I have long considered they were closely connected*, and 
I think the insects before us confirm this view, for they are nearly related to 
Broscus, Panz., and equally so to my genus Leiochitont. Never having seen 
the genus Baripus, Dej., I am unable to ascertain if it be allied to my group, 
but the masculine tarsi readily distinguish them.

Tas. XV. Fig. A. 
Cupreo-viridis; elytris lineis punctorum undulatis, parüm impressis quasi re- 
ticulatis, nisi in lateribus deflexis; antennis pedibusque piceis, illarum 
articulo basali tibiisque ferrugineis. 
Length 73 lines; breadth 21. 
ZEneous with a coppery tinge down the middle, shining: Aead with faint lines 
in front: thorax convex, with a channel down the middle and two shallow 
foveae at the posterior angles, which are a little rounded, sides with a 
narrow margin and a few punctures producing long hairs: elyfra not 
thrice as long as the thorax, but broader, convex, the sides deflexed, 
forming an angular ridge parallel to the costa, on which there are 9 
punctures: 9 waved shallow lines of punctures on each, portions of the 
alternate spaces between them smooth and dull, appearing reticulated : 
basal joint of antenne and tibiæ ferruginous: frophi castaneous : mandi- 
bles and labrum blackish at the apex ; thighs and tarsi piceous. 
Two specimens of this beautiful species, which I have named in honour of 
Capt. P. P. King, were found in Chili.

Piceo-nitens, suprà cupreus ; elytris obsoleté striatis, lævibus, convexis; tro- 
phis, antennis, pedibusque ferrugineis; femoribus castaneis. 
Length 5 lines; breadth 1j.

T Brit. Ent. vol. viii. pl. 346: this seems to be Eschscholz's genus Miscodera, but whether he has 
ever published the characters I have never been able to learn: Leiochiton was established in 1831.
