Cephalocoema flavirostris (Blanchard). 



1851. Proscopia flavirostris Blanchard, in Gay, Hist. Fis. Pol. Chile, Zool., 

 VI, p. 61. [Province of Coquimbo, Chili.] 



Zemuco, Chile.^^ January, 1904. (Carlos S. Reed.) [A. N. S. 

 Phila.] One male, one female. 



As far as can be made out from the poor original description, these 

 specimens probably represent this species. The pronotum and pro- 

 sternum have a lateral series of yellowish tubercles which is the only 

 character approaching "prothorace .... lateribus flavescenti." 



Cephalocoema lineata Brunner.

 Wien, XL, p. 119, taf. V, fig. 11. [Mendoza, La Plata, Argentina.] 



Cordova, Argentine. (F. Schulz.) [U. S. Nat. Mus.] One male, 

 one female. 



The female is slightly smaller than the type measured by Brunner. 

 This species is very close to C. lancea Burmeister.
