bescent, outside edge of hind tibiae sernite (rather obsoletely), claws appen- 

 diculate. 



Two specimens seen. 



Ptinomorpha ('?) foveolatus ii()\'. sp. 



Almost uniform liii;ht brown, antennae incrassate, shoulders of 

 elytra rounded, the surface of the elytra shining, covered with 

 deep, elongate foveate punctures, striate only at the shoulders, 

 and laterally; the fovea closer, more drawn out, confluent at 

 sides, flatter and broader on disk, the surface sparsely hirsute, 

 hind tibiae serrate and dentate on outside edge. 



Type. — Cachabe, Ecuador; low c; I, 1897, (Rosenberg). 

 Length 4.25 mm. 



Head vertical, a strong transverse ridge between the eyes, bisected in the 

 middle by a short longitudinal fovea, vertex with coarse foveate punctures, 

 neck smooth and glabrous; antennae approximate, reaching just below the 

 base of the eh^ra, third joint slightly longer than second, fourth and follow- 

 ing about equal to the second, slowly incrassate from the second joint, reach- 

 ing the maximum width at about the seventh joint, then slowly tapering off; 

 thorax slightly transverse, nearly square, sides almost straight, margined and 

 with a plain straight marginal line near to and parallel to the rear edge, surface 

 coarsely reticulated with humps and foveae, the most noticeable of the former 

 being two anterior side and one median, placed triangularly '.' ; scutellum 

 smooth; ehi^ra with well marked antemedian scutellar depression (not cui'v- 

 ing upward to the shoulders), making a prominent scutellar callous, epipleurae 

 wide, smooth, longitudinally jnuictured; hind tibiae with three quite prominent 

 well separated denticulations, claws appendiculate. 



Resembles daphrus and easily separated by its foveate punc- 

 tuation. The type is unique. 



The structure of the antennae and the dentation of the hind 

 tibiae seem to warrant the placing of this form in Von Harold's 

 genus.
