314 Mr. Baly on new Crioceridee. 



punctured ; on either side the middle disc, just behind the 

 apical margin, is a faint depression. ScuteUum trigonate, longer 

 than broad, its apex obtuse. Elytra much broader than the 

 thorax, narrowly oblong, parallel, convex, not excavated below 

 the basilar space ; rather deeply punctate-striate, the punctures 

 much finer at the apex, the ninth stria entire ; interspaces plane, 

 slightly convex at the apex, the outer one thickened and sub- 

 costate for its whole length ; each elytron with a narrow sntural 

 line and two linear vittas, black, these vittse (one sub-marginal 

 and the other discoidal) extend from the base to more than 

 half-way between the middle and the apex, they are confluent at 

 the base and form on the humeral callus a trigonate patch. 



Lema lineatipennis. 



Anguste oblonga, rufo-fulva, nitida, antennis (articulo basali 

 excepto) tarsis, tibiis anticis apice posticisque quatuor totis, 

 nigris ; thorace longitudine latiori, lateribus sat modice constric- 

 tis, disco lajvi, ante basin leviter transversim sulcato ; elytris 

 oblongis, fortiter punctato-striatis, stria nona late interrupta, 

 medio costiformi ; interspatiis transversim rugulosis, ad apicem 

 lougitudinaliter elevatis ; flavis, linea suturali, et utrin(|ue vitta 

 a basi fere ad apicem extensa, ante apicem extrorsum dilatata, 

 nigris. Long. 2^ lin. 



Hab. Brazil. 



Face subelongate-trigonate, front impressed with an oblong 

 fovea ; antennas nearly two-thirds the length of the body, filiform, 

 black, the basal joint fulvous, its extreme apex piceous, the 

 second piceous beneath. Thorax rather broader than long; sides 

 moderately constricted in the middle, disc very faintly depressed 

 transversely in front of the base, the middle of the dejiression 

 impressed with a single fovea ; a longitudinal space in the 

 middle, and the sides near the anterior angles finely punctured. 

 Elytra broader than the thorax, oblong, convex, somewhat 

 flattened along the suture, the basilar space very slightly thick- 

 ened ; strongly piTuctate-striate, the ninth stria from the suture 

 only visible at base and apex, its intermediate portion costiform ; 

 interspaces irregularly wrinkled transversely on the inner disc, 

 longitudinally thickened at the apex, the outer interspace thick- 

 ened for its whole length ; the sutixre, abruptly dilated just 

 before its apex into a common elongate patch, together with a 

 discoidal vitta on each elytron black ; the latter commences on the 

 humeral callus immediately below the base, and extends nearly 

 to the apex of the elytron, just before its termination it is 

 dilated outAvardly into an oblong spot, which extends to the inner 

 edge of the thickened lateral interspace.
