both these genera it differs in having the tooth on side of pronotiim 

 bifid. Contoderus also differs from it in having the head wider than 

 pronotum, with the front as long as wide, first antennal joint much 

 shorter than the third, and the lower lobes of the eyes elongate. 

 From Enes it can be separated by its shorter form, tooth on side of 

 pronotum bifid, with the posterior part of tooth long, acute, and 

 curved backward, and each elytron with a tuft of erect black hairs 

 near the base. 



ENEODES HIRSUTA, new species 



Male. — Form broadly elongate and subparallel ; above pale reddish- 

 brown, and rather densely clothed with whitish, reddish-brown, and 

 yellowish pubescence, with a few black markings on the pronotum; 

 beneath reddish-brown, with a more or less yellowish tinge. 



Head slightly wider than long, and nearly flat in front, strongly 

 depressed around posterior margin of eyes, the antennal tubercles 

 moderately elevated and very widely separated, the surface opaque, 

 very densely punctate, and somewhat granulose, sparsely clothed with 

 long recumbent yellowish pubescence, with numerous long, fine, erect 

 hairs intermixed, and with a narrow longitudinal groove extending 

 from the epistoma to the occiput; eyes strongly convex, and sepa- 

 rated from each other on the top by three-fourths the width of the 

 emargination of the eyes in front. Antennae yellowish-brown, with 

 the apex of the outer joints darker, not very densely clothed with 

 short recumbent yellowish -white pubescence, but densely ciliate be- 

 neath with long, flying hairs. 



Pronotum slightly wider than long, and somewhat narrower at 

 base than apex; sides feebly constricted near apical angles, parallel 

 near base, and broadly rounded at middle, armed on each side at 

 middle with a bifid tooth, the anterior part of which is very short, 

 and the posterior part very long, slender, and curved backward; 

 surface feebly, broadly, and transversely concave along anterior 

 margin and base, finely, densely granulose, rather densely clothed 

 with long recumbent brownish-yellow pubescence, which is more 

 cinereous anteriorly, and ornamented with black markings as follows : 

 Three small spots on median part of disk arranged in the form of a 

 triangle, and an elongate spot placed obliquely on each side, extend- 

 ing from the middle to basal depression. Scutellum elongate-tri- 

 angular, and narrowly rounded at apex. 



Elytra two-thirds longer than wide, and equal in width to the 

 pronotum at middle (including the teeth) ; humeri feebly developed; 

 sides parallel to apical third, then arcuately attenuate to the tips, 

 which are conjointly broadly rounded ; surface irregularly punctate, 

 the punctures coarse and dense on basal region, but becoming finer 

 and more widely separated toward the apex, rather densely clothed
