112 STRONGYLOSOMUS. 



Strongylosomus capitatus. 



Coccimorplms capitatus, Lac. Erot. 270. 



Brazil. 



Distinct by its punctate-striate elytra ; the strire are seven in 

 number and then a submarginal stria after a space. The black 

 liead appears to me to result from false mending and not to be 

 the real head of the insect.

Coccimoiyhus rotundatus, Lac. Erot. 270. 

 Cayenue. 



Strongylosomus Emys.

 margined.
