Four specimens, from localities also producing E. suhaxillm-is 

 Fairiii. Compared with the latter, the general shape is a little more 

 elongate and more cuneiform, and the coloration of the prothorax and 

 elytra (suggestive of that of various Erotylids) very different. In one 

 example the long black discoidal patch on each elytron extends to the 

 suture posteriorly. The elytra ai'e longer and more rapidly narrowed 

 behind than in the American E. margiuatvs Champ. 



4. — Eiisfrophivus cnspidatus, n. sp. 



Oval, moderately convex, much narrowed posteriorly, shining ; the upper 

 surface, femora, and tibiae nigi-o-piceous or piceous, the antennae black, with 

 joints 1-4 testaceous and 11 yellow, the tarsi testaceous, the under surface 

 reddish-brown ; thickly clothed with long brown pubescence. Eyes sub- 

 contiguous. Antennae moderately long, joints 5-10 rather broad, sub-triangular, 

 2 and 4 equal in length, 3 longer than 2. Prothorax arcuately narrowing from 

 the base, closely, minutely punctate, the basal foveae shallow. Elytra rapidly 

 narrowing from a little below the base, sharply margined laterally, shallowly 

 punctate-striate, the interstices closely, finely punctate, the epipleura excavate. 

 Beneath very finely, the abdomen densely, punctate. Prosternal process 

 acuminate. Mesosternal keel moderately prominent. Length 5^, breadth 3 mm. 



Hah. : Amazoxs, between Para and Santarem {H. H. Smith). 

 One specimen, received in 1875. Near E. striatus Seidl., but much 

 broader anteriorly, and more pointed behind, the elytra with a more 

 prominent marginal carina, the seriate punctures fine, and the inter- 

 stices flat. 



5. — Eustrophimis striatns. 



E tistrojjJiinus striafi(s Seidl., Naturg. Ins. Deutschl., v. 2, pp. 441, 

 442 (1898). 



Hab.: Brazil [type], Espirito Santo (Fry). 



Two specimens (length 5j-5i mm.) from the Fry collection 

 doubtless belong to this species. They are oblong-oval in shape, 

 blackish brown above, paler beneath, the elytra coarsely punctate- 

 striate, with convex interstices, the prothorax with faint basal foveae, 

 the prosternal process narrow, entire, the mesosternal keel depressed. 

 E. striatus might easily be mistaken for a Cistelid.

(necGestro, 1881).
