OXTCHEILA OBATIOSA, sp. n. 



Minus elongata, nigra, supra fere opaca ; oris partihus, antennis, 



(articulis 1 — i nigro-onaculatis) pedibusque fulvo-testaceis, femorihus 



apice nigris ; elytris ovatis (Jiumeris sub-falcatim productis), apice con- 



junctim suh-acuminatis, discrete punctulatis, ufrinque onacula trans- 



'versa, rotundata, discoidali, testaceo-rufa. Long. 7 lin. ^ . 



A mucli less elongate species than O. tristis ; the elytra especially 

 being shorter and ovate in form, with prominent (rather falciform) 

 humeral angles. The head is gradually narrowed behind the very 

 prominent eyes ; the labrum ( c^ ) is long and narrow, leaving the 

 mandibles uncovered throughout their entire length. The basal mar- 

 gin of the labrum and the tips of the mandibles are black. The 

 thorax is small. The elytra are similar in form and sculpture to 

 those of O. femoralis, but they are shorter, more produced and falcate 

 at the shoulders, and more dilated at and a little beyond the middle. 



The narrow, yellow labrum immediately distinguishes it from 

 O. femoralis. 



New Granada; several examples (Senor Yillagomez).

Long. 6i lin. $ . 



Allied to C. upsilon ; but the broadly rounded elytra give it a 

 different facies, and the thorax (?) is nearly cylindrical : the legs 

 also are longer and slenderer. Head with very prominent eyes ; 

 moderately concave on the crown ; densely strigose, and behind, 

 rugose-punctate ; the forehead and base of labrum with a dense patch 

 of laid white hairs. Labrum yellow ; moderately rounded in the 

 middle, with three prominent and very sharp teeth. The thorax is 

 narrowed and somewhat constricted at the base ; the surface is 

 densely and rather roughly transversely rugose. The scutellum is 

 fiery cupreous, like the thorax and crown. The elytra have rectangular 

 shoulders (clothed with white hairs) and are thence immediately and 

 gradually dilated to a little before the apex, which is singly rounded, 

 without sutural angle ( ? ). The surface is white, with a scutellar
