10. II. VIIUDIS. — Green, beneath black; feet rufous; thorax 

 punctured ; elytra with minute hairs. 



Length two-lifths of an inch. 



Head tinged with bronze ; antennae and palpi rufou.s ; laliruin 

 piceous ; thorax before and at base slightly bron7.ed ; punctures 

 numerous, obsolete on the anterior disk ; elytra slightly tinged 

 with bra.s.sy, with acute, im^ unctured striae, and numerou.s short 

 hairs; interstitial lines flat; feet rufous; bears some resemblance 

 to Feronia hicuhlandus.

11. II. iivi,.\ris. — "Black; labrum, mouth, and feet testace- 

 ous; abdomen piceous; base of the tiiorax narrowoil, angles ob- 

 tuse. 



Length three-tenths of an inch. 



Body black, beneath piceous; labrum, mandibles, excepting at 

 tip, palpi, three basal joints of the antennae, and icet rufo-testa- 

 ceous ; antenna) dusky. Thorax of equal diameters, narrower at 

 base than the elytra, broadest in the middle ; lateral edge regu- 

 larly arquated ; angles very obtuse, posterior edge rectilinear; a 

 longitudinal, slightly impressed, continuous line; basal lines 

 very distinct, pjlytra with a very slight greenish shade ; basal 

 joint of the anterior and intermediate tarsi dilated and granula- 

 ted beneath, the remaining joints hardly dilated. 



The first or basal joint of the anterior and intermediate [32] 

 tarsi only is dilated, and it is granulated beneath as in csenits, 

 and of course does not, strictly speaking, belong to this genus. 

 The bnldmon'ensis, car/juuariitst, agricolus, reenus, and I'usd'cuf 

 have also granulations, or rather close set hairs on the dilated 

 tarsi of the male. On account of this distinctive character, I 

 should have referred them all to that division of Feronia in which 

 M. Latreille places Epomis, &c., did not that author expressly 

 .state that insects of that division ought to have the two anterior 

 tiirsi only of the male dilated.
