28 TRAVELS AMONGST THE GREAT ANDES. 



Differs from 0. iirsiims hj its 10 -jointed antennae, slender fusiform 

 terminal joint of tlie palpi, and polished, glabrous black jiygidium, wliicli has 

 a few punctures only at the apex. The head is very slightly contracted just 

 before the eyes and scarcely dilated in front of the contraction. 



The following may perhaps be the 5 of this species, but the single 

 specimen being destitute of anterior tarsi its sex cannot be determined : —

Differs from G. Antisanm by its darker elytra — chestnut-reddish, instead 

 of tawny-brown, and by their being more densely and distinctly punctulate- 

 rugose, though quite as glossy, and by the much less distinctly elevated costoe. 



The examples with short rounded clypeus and 10-jointed antennse are 

 smaller and rather more ovate ; there appears to be no difference in the 

 anterior tibioe or tarsi and very little in the abdomen. In colour and sculp- 

 ture they are the same as the others.
