Hab. : Ecuador ; collected by Mr. Buckley. 



Neck constricted, shining, impunctate, its extreme base fulvous ; front impressed 

 on either side bv a deep oblique groove, its apex also impressed with a short longi- 

 tudinal line ; clypeus sparingly clothed -with sub-erect hairs ; antennse two-thirds 

 tlie length of the body, slender, basal joints thickened, sub-globose, second very short, 

 the third three times the length of the second, the fourth longer than the third ; 

 the first joint piceous, the second to the ninth fuscous, obscure fulvous beneath, the 

 tenth and eleventh yellowish-white. Thorax slightly longer than broad, sub-cylin- 

 drical, sides deeply constricted in the middle ; above transversely sulcate in front of 

 the base, the sulcation broad, shallow, and ill-defined, a longitudinal space down the 

 middle and another on either side just behind the anterior angle, finely but distinctly 

 punctured. Scutellum black, oblong, its apex obtuse. Elytra broader than the 

 thorax, sides parallel at the base, slightly dilated below the middle, the apex sub- 

 acutely rounded, above convex, faintly excavated on either side near the suture, just 

 below the basilar space ; humeral callus prominent ; surface regularly punctate- 

 striate, the ninth stria from the suture entire ; interspaces plane, slightly convex 

 towards tlie apex and on the sides.

Hab. : Parana. 



Vertex finely but distinctly punctured ; front with the usual oblique groove on 

 either side, inner orbits of eyes coarsely punctured ; clypeus triangular, coarsely 

 but remotely punctured, sparingly clothed with sub-erect hairs ; antenna; robust, 

 rather longer than the head and thorax; basal joints sub-globose, the second 

 very sliort. Thorax rather broader than long, sub-cylindrical, sides deeply con- 

 stricted in the middle ; upper surface transversely grooved in front of the basal 

 margin, the sulcation faintly wrinkled ; a longitudinal line on the middle of the disc 

 and a space on either side just behind the anterior angle distinctly punctured, the 

 basal margin indistinctly edged with rufous. Scutellum triangular, its apex truncate. 

 Elyti-a much broader than tlie thorax, sub-quadrate oblong, convex, slightly flat- 

 tened along the suture, not depressed below the basilar space, punctate-striate, the 

 ninth stria from the suture slightly interrupted in its middle third, the punctures 

 being there placed at irregular intervals ; interspaces plane, moderate convex near the 

 apex ; each elytron with its entire margin (the middle of the basal border excepted) 

 edged witli bi-ight rufous, the rufous border is nearly uniform in width during its 

 whole extent, with the exception of the apex of each elytron, where it is dilated, 

 and forms a triangular apical patch.
