One pair, the two sexes differing in the colour of the prothorax 

 and in the number of ochreous terminal joints to the antennae. The 

 more feebly tricostate elytra separates E. xatithura from E. laticornis, 

 apart from differences in colour, etc. 



ScoTOCHROA Lee. 



In my remarks on Xijlita (Ent. Mo. Mag., LI., p. 139), it was 

 stated that the Canadian A', huprestoldes of Kirby (Faun. Bor.-Am., 

 IV., p. 240) could not be identified. Fresh examination, with a speci- 

 men of S. hamlis Lee, captured by my son at Mt. Manitou, Colorado 

 Springs, on Aug. 31st, 1915, for comparison, shows it to be almost 

 certainly 8. atra Lee, the type of which was from the White Mts. ; 

 but the Canadian insect seems to be more roughly sculptured and lighter 

 in colour. 



Symphora Lee. 



A genus based on two N. American forms, seven having been sub- 

 sequently added by myself fi'om more southern regions. Two from 

 Brazil and one from Mexico are contained in the Fry Collection at the 

 Museum. The species here described are so like Anaspids that they 

 might readily be mistaken for svich. 



1 . — Symphora infuscata, n. sp. 



Moderately elongate, narrow { $), broader ( $ ), shining, finely pubescent; 

 piceous or nigro-piceous, the four basal joints of the antennae testaceous ; the 

 head sparsely, the prothorax and elytra densely, finely punctate, the punctures 

 on the elytra a little coarser and less closely placed than those on the prothorax. 

 Head with a deep frontal suture ; antennae ( <? ) long, slender, filiform, joint 2 

 short, less than half the length of 3, 3-5 sub-equal, 6-10 shorter, decreasing in 

 length, 11 oval — ( $ ) much shorter, extending very little beyond the humeri, 

 joint 3 elongate, 4-10 rapidly decreasing in length, 4 about half as long as 3 ; 

 terminal joint of maxillary palpi stout, oval, obliquely truncate at apex. Pro- 

 thorax short, trapezoidal, shallowly transversely grooved before the base. 

 Elytra slightly wider than the prothorax, moderately long, sub-parallel in their 

 basal half. Legs slender; penultimate joint of tarsi simple. Length 2l-Z\, 

 breadth l-l\ mm. ((??). 



Hah. : Brazil, Rio de Janeiro (Fry). 



One pair, the female considerably larger than the male, and with 

 much shorter antennae. Less convex than the Guatemalan 8. rufi- 

 cejjs Champ., wholly infuscate (the bases of tlie palpi and antennae 

 excepted), the head smoother, the elytral punctuation less dense.
