of the elytra are characters not known to nie to exist in any other 

 species of the Ceranibycidre, and to some may suggest a new genus 

 which may be named Cathetopteron ; should the suggestion material- 

 ize, the foregoing characters will be sufficiently descriptive. The 

 unique type was taken near Brownsville, Texas, by Mr. C. H. T. 

 Townsend, and through the courtesy of ]Mr. L. O. Howartl, Hono- 

 rary Curator of the National IMuseum at Washington, its description 

 has been permitted.] " Ham."

['• Brown, with grayish hairs, prothorax rugosely punctured, a small callus

 thorax cylindrical and one-half longer than wide ; the elytra three- 

 fourths as long as the abdomen.] " Ham."
