RHAPHIDORRHYNCHUS SEXVITTATUS, 213 



NOTE XXIV. 

 DESCRIPTIONS OF SOME NEW BRENTHIDAE 



BT 



Dr. ANGELO SENNA, 



Assistant in the R. Museum, Florence. 



Amoncf the large series of Brenthids with which Dr. K. 

 Jordan of the Hod. W. Rothschild's Museum at Tring 

 kindly entrusted nie for examination, I found several species 

 of Rhaphidorrhynchus Schoenh. recently described by me 

 from the collection of the Brussels Museum and my own , 

 and two species which I believe to be new to science. But 

 special mention may be made of a new Arrhenodinae-genus 

 which I propose to call Phymechus. 



Ubanius and Tmetogonus are two new genera of the 

 same subfamily , of which I have added here the description : 

 all may be considered as representative forms of the oriental 

 group Orychodi in neotropical regions. 



Rhaphidorrhynchus se xvittatus Senna. 

 (Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. Tom. XXXVIII, p. 596, 1894). 



A male from Panama and a female from Nicaragua. 



The female has a length of 14 mill., and it differs more- 

 over from the type in my collection by its colour being 

 more reddish, by the eyes being more prominent, and by 

 the punctuation of the elytral furrows which is more re- 

 gular. The S»''! interstice has also a short ferruginous line 

 on its apical third.
