Hab. Valley of CoUanes, Altar (12,500 feet). One example. 



G. cajnto affini.s et similis, sed multo gracilior capite(|ue minus dilatato,

 angulis Ijreviter elongatis. 



Long. 8 millim. c^ . 



Allied to G.fusiiKilpis, but larger and more slender in all its parts. In 

 the form of tlie thorax and elytra (particularl}' the dilated anterior margins 

 of the thorax), and in the prominent eyes with the sides of the head converg- 

 ing oblic^uely and rapidly from the eyes to the somewhat constricted neck, 

 the species resembles also G. capito, but it differs greatly from that species 

 in the clothing of the soles of the tarsi and the feebler emaigination of their 

 fourth joint, besides its smaller head and the narrower, nnreflexed posterior 

 margins of the thorax.

Hah. Western side of Chimborazo, tifth camp (15,800 feet). One 

 example, 



Elongatiis, nigro - piceus, palpis antennis pedibusque castaneo-rufis: 

 antennis modice elongatis : capite ovato, collo transversim depresso, post 

 oculos pariim convexos paullulum tumido, rotundatim angustato : thorace 

 subcordato, postice perparum sinuato angulis posticis rectis nee productis : 

 elytris valde elongatis, liasi angustis apice obtuse rotundatis, subtiliter 

 punctulato-striatis, interstitiis planissimis tertio 4-punctato : tarsis subtus

 exteriori elongato. 



Long. 10| millim. S • 



Elongate in Snin, with oval head, the eyes being scarcely more prominent 

 than the tumid cheeks behind them, which latter narrow in a slightly curved 

 line to the moderately constricted neck. The palpi have slender terminal 

 joints, a little wider in their middle portion. The antennte are a little more 

 slender than in G. cejihalote.'^. The thorax is cordate with rectangular hind 

 angles and much reflexed but narrow lateral margins, which are widest at 

 the anterior angles. The elytra are relatively very long but somewhat ovate 

 in outline. The claw joints of the tarsi are naked beneath. The metathor-
