214 RHAPHIDORRHYNCEIUS LONGIMANUS. 



Rhaphidorrhyncliusvicinus Senna. 

 (I.e. p. 599). 



Several males and females from Petropolis (Brazil). 



In some specimens the prothorax is very slightly bronze 

 or has the median portion darker than the sides and the 

 apical third. The rostrum is sometimes as long as the 

 prothorax ; the anterior portion is slightly toothed at the 

 sides , the front without impression , the 2^^ joint of the 

 antennae nearly as long as the Sr'J. The striae are slightly 

 undulate in the basal third and without punctures also at 

 the sides. The coloured lines on the interstices are mode- 

 rately variable in length , but the position is the same in 

 all the specimens. The basal spot of the AS^ interstice is 

 sometimes united with the line of the basal third. The 

 length varies between 11 — 17 mill.

 interstice united.
