One male. Allied to tlie Colouibian C. ti'ifoveatuin, and separable 

 therefrom by the elongate prothorax, with shallower basal groove, the 

 less transverse head, which wants the deep central inter-ocular fovea, and 

 the larger eyes, the first (sutural) interstice of the elytra also wanting 

 the setigerous impressions. 



12. — Colpartlirum bolivieiise, n. sp. 



cJ. Elongate, shining, castaneous, the head and elytra set with very- 

 long, erect, scattered setae. Head rather broad, obliquely narrowed behind 

 the eyes, smooth, the transverse inter-ocular depression deep andfoveate on each 

 side, the eyes large, separated by a little more than half the width of one of 

 them; [antennae imperfect]. Prothorax as wide as the head, a little longer 

 than broad, cordate, dilated at the base, smooth, the basal groove deep. 

 Elytra long, twice as broad as the prothoi-ax, gradually widening to the 

 middle and acuminate at the apex ; finely striato-punctate on the disc, 

 the punctures becoming coarser at the sides and obsolete towards the apex, 

 the interstices broad, tiat, 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 each with a row of small scattered 

 tubercles followed by a conspicuous setigerous impression, the tubercles 

 becoming larger and more closely placed towards the apex. Eemora 

 moderately clavate, the posterior pair hollowed along the basal third beneath, 

 appearing angulately dilated before the middle ; posterior tibiae curved. 



Length 8|, breadth 2s mm. 



JIab. : Bolivia, La Paz (Buckley). 



One specimen, imperfect. This insect hears some resemblance to 

 Blanchard's figui'e of Statyra unicolor, from Santa Cruz, Bolivia, but 

 the latter is described as having a closely punctured, cylindrical pro- 

 thorax. The more elongate elytra, with tubercidate alternate interstices, 

 the larger eyes, etc., separate it from the allied C. frifoveatum and 

 C. laevicauda. 



13. — Colpartlirum seticentris, n. sp. 



(S . Moderately elongate, rather broad, widened posteriorly, shining ; 

 brassy-black, the head (except in front) and prothorax, the apices of the 

 femora broadly, and the tibiae in great part, piceous, the basal halves of 

 the femora and the basal joints of the antennae testaceous, the rest of the 

 antennae, the tarsi, and mouth-parts ferruginous ; the head and elytra set with 

 a few, auel the abdomen with many, long, erect, setiform hairs. Head short, 

 broad, smooth, the transverse inter-ocular depression deep and trifoveate, the 

 eyes large, distant; antennae long, reaching tiie middle of the elytra, joint 11 

 about twice as long as 10. Prothorax as wide as the head, slightly broader than 

 long, subcordate, smooth, the basal groove deep. Elytra long, at one-half from 

 the base twice as broad as the prothorax, widened to the middle, and acuminate 

 at the apex ; closely, finely punctato-striate throughout, the punctures becoming 

 smaller towards the tip, the interstices broad, tiat, 3, 5, 7, and 9 each with a
