140 f'^""''' 



few couspicuous, widely separated, setigeroua impressions. Ventral segments 

 1-5 with a cluster of setigerous punctures on each side of the smooth median 

 space at about oue-third from the margin. Femora strong!}^ clavate. 



Length 8, breadth 2| mm. 



Hah. : Ecuador {BucJdey). 



One male. Distinguishable from its allies by the rather short pro- 

 thorax, long antennae, trifoveate head, and finely punctate-striate, brassy- 

 black el3'tra. The setigerous punctures on the ventral segments 1-5 are 

 much more numerous than usual. 



14. — Colparthnoii sj^inicduda, n. sp. 



(^ . Very elongate, narrow, parallel-sided, shining: testaceous, the an- 

 tennae (joints 1 and 2 excepted) and eyes, the elytra with the humeri in front 

 and the apex narrowly, the metasternura and abdomen in part, the intermediate 

 and posterior femora (except in their Havous basal half) and tibiae, the tarsi 

 (except at the apex), and anterior knees, black or piceous ; the head, elytra, 

 femora, and tibiae set with very long, erect, scattered, setiform hairs. Head 

 rather broad, smooth, the transverse inter-ocular depre.-sion very deep and con- 

 nected with the frontal excavation by a short longitudinal sulcus, the eyes 

 large and separated by less than the width of one of them ; [antennal joints fi- 

 ll wanting]. Prothorax as wide as the head, cordate, dilated at the base; 

 smooth, deeply excavate on each side of the disc at about the middle, shallowly 

 canaliculate down the centre anteriorly, and with a deep transverse basal groove. 

 Elytra very long, parallel, nearly twice as wide as the prothorax, compressed 

 at the sides below the humeri, flattened on the disc, rounded at the apex, and 

 there armed with a sharp tooth near the sutural angle ; very coarsely, closely 

 striato-punctate, the punctures becoming quite small on the short apical de- 

 clivity, the interstices narrow, very convex at the apex, flatter on the disc, 1, 3, 

 5, 7, and 9 with scattered, flne setigerous punctures throughout their length. 

 I'enis-sheath broad, acuminate. Legs long, the femora strongly clavate, the 

 tibial spurs small. 



Length 8|, breadth 2j mm. 



Hah. : Pehu, Chanchamaj^o (ej; coll. F. Safes). 



One male. The very long, parallel, coarsely striato-punctate, almost 

 wholly testaceous elytra (the tip and humeri only black) distinguisli 

 C. sjynu'caiida from its allies. The elyti'a are sharply spined at the apex, 

 as in C. calcaratiim. Champ., from Panama. The general facies is not 

 unlike that of C. siilcicoUe Cliamp., also from Panama, a metallic-green 

 insect, with a longer head, shorter el^^tra, etc. The apical joint of the 

 labial palpi is emarginate, as in the typical species of CoI]}artliru7n.
