ABT. 2 BOLIVIAN BEETLES OF THE FAMILY CLEEIDAE CHAPIN 7 



a short distance, thence turning and almost reaching the suture. The 

 median spot is transversely oval, not reaching either the lateral or 

 the sutural margin. Vestiture dense, depressed, golden except for 

 antemedian, postmedian, and apical spots of black. Underparts of 

 the thorax piceous, of the abdomen rufo testaceous. Legs rufo testa- 

 ceous, femora and tibiae with piceous markings. Length: 6-7 mm. 

 Localities: Tumupasa, Cavinas. 



Type and seventeen paratypes. — Cat. No. 29359, U.S.N.M. 



This species is described from seventeen specimens from Tumupasa 

 and one from Cavinas. The type is a male from Tumupasa. It is 

 distinguished from E. tricolor Kuwert by the asperate pronotum, the 

 absence of the subapical pale spot, and the much greater extent of 

 the pale hairs on the elytra. 



12. EPIPHLOEUS PILOSUS, new species 



Brown, elytra variegated with dark brown, golden brown and white 

 hairs. Head red-brown, vertex and occiput piceous, finely and very 

 densely punctured, a small impunctate spot on the vertex between 

 the eyes. Vestiture sparse, golden brown, mainly concentrated near 

 the eyes, antennae, and above mouth. Antennae reaching to beyond 

 the base of the pronotum, first and fourth to eighth segments pale, 

 the remaining segments piceous. Pronotum broader than long (20- 

 26), anterior half of the disk asperate, the asperations tending to form 

 transverse ridges, posterior half of the disk finely punctulate, flanks 

 rather coarsely and very densely punctured. Median portion of the 

 disk strongly elevated, its posterior two-thirds and the flanks piceous, 

 lateral portions of the disk and the anterior margin rusty brown; ves- 

 titure sparse, golden brown. Elytra coarsely, irregularly punctured, 

 the punctures separated one from another by a distance equal to their 

 diameter, densely clothed with a mixture of dark brown and golden 

 brown depressed hairs, with a few white hairs which tend to form 

 three ill-defined transverse fasciae dividing the length of the elytra 

 into fourths. Underparts piceous and shining, legs pale, femora and 

 tibiae broadly annulate with piceous. Length: 5 mm. Locality: 

 Tumupasa. 



Type.— C&t. No. 29360, U.S.N.M. 



Obviously related to E. ohscurus Kuwert but differing from that 

 species in the total absence of white hairs on the head and thorax 

 and in the dark underparts of the body. 



Genus PHYLLOBAENUS Spinola, 1844 



13. PHYLLOBAENUS MANNI Wolcott 



Phyllobaenus manni Wolcott, 1912, Psyche, vol. 19, p. 73, pi. 6, fig. 4. 



Three specimens from Tumupasa belong to this species. The deter- 

 mination was verified by Wolcott, who kindly compared one of the 

 specimens with the type. The length varies from 5.. 5 mm. to 7 mm.
