  exhibit 
  characters 
  that 
  seem 
  clearly 
  associated 
  with 
  this 
  condition, 
  

   namely, 
  pronotum 
  being 
  much 
  wider 
  behind 
  than 
  in 
  front, 
  and 
  the 
  

   apical 
  constriction 
  well 
  developed 
  so 
  that 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  distinct 
  collum. 
  

   Eyes 
  distinctly 
  higher 
  than 
  wide, 
  broadly 
  emarginate 
  behind 
  ; 
  in 
  all 
  

   others 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  seen 
  the 
  eyes 
  are 
  nearly 
  round; 
  clasper 
  of 
  male 
  

   as

  ; 
  venation 
  of

  The 
  description 
  of 
  Ceratocombus 
  bifenestratus 
  Poppius 
  5 
  applies 
  

   very 
  well 
  to 
  the 
  preceding 
  species, 
  but 
  Poppius 
  compares 
  his 
  species 
  

   with 
  C. 
  brasiliensis 
  Reuter 
  and 
  assigns 
  it 
  to 
  Ceratocombus 
  (s. 
  s.), 
  so 
  

   we 
  assume 
  it 
  has 
  the 
  small 
  closed 
  cell 
  in 
  corium 
  just 
  exterior 
  to 
  apex 
  

   of 
  clavus 
  (as 
  figured 
  for 
  brasiliensis) 
  which 
  is 
  lacking 
  in 
  C. 
  major. 
  

   In 
  Ceratocombus 
  (s. 
  s.) 
  the 
  species 
  seems 
  nearer 
  to 
  brasiliensis 
  than 
  

   to 
  any 
  other 
  included 
  in 
  our 
  key. 
  

  

  CERATOCOMBUS 
  (XYLONANNUS) 
  CUNEATUS, 
  new 
  species 
  

  

  General 
  color 
  above 
  fuscous, 
  lustrous 
  in 
  reflected 
  light 
  as 
  usual 
  in 
  

   the 
  genus, 
  a 
  pale 
  spot 
  in 
  forewing 
  near 
  costal 
  fracture; 
  the 
  vein 
  

   which 
  separates 
  the 
  two 
  apical 
  cells 
  is 
  present 
  in 
  each 
  elytron, 
  

   although 
  difficult 
  to 
  see, 
  and 
  that 
  in 
  the 
  left 
  tegmen 
  is 
  forked. 
  The 
  

   legs 
  are 
  yellowish-brown 
  and 
  copiously 
  bristly.

  CERATOCOMBUS 
  (XYLONANNUS) 
  VAGANS. 
  new 
  species 
  

  

  Color 
  of 
  head, 
  pronotum, 
  and 
  scutellum 
  pale 
  chocolate 
  brown 
  to 
  

   castaneous, 
  of 
  forewings 
  uniform 
  drab

  brown; 
  antennae 
  and 
  

   legs 
  stramineous. 
  Even 
  in 
  macropterous 
  forms 
  the 
  apical 
  constric- 
  

   tion 
  of 
  pronotum 
  is 
  broadly 
  interrupted 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  ; 
  an 
  impressed 
  

   line 
  parallels 
  hind 
  margin 
  of 
  pronotum 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  pair 
  of 
  well 
  

   separated 
  foveae 
  on 
  disk 
  just 
  behind 
  middle; 
  usually 
  a 
  median 
  

   longitudinal 
  impressed 
  line 
  is 
  visible 
  on 
  pronotum, 
  and 
  sometimes 
  a 
  

   similar 
  but 
  fainter 
  canaliculation 
  on 
  scutellum.
