from the apex, the apical callosity obscure reddish-brown; 

 underside and legs shining reddish-brown, irrorated with 

 cinereous. Head rather closely punctured, clypeus slightly 

 rounded at the sides, the apex strongly elevated and sinuous. 

 Thorax sparsely and finely punctured on the disc, the punctures 

 coarser and closer at the sides and confluent at the anterior 

 angles, the posterior lobe smooth. Elytra with two well marked 

 carina}, the disc with rows of crescent shaped punctures which 

 l)ecome confused at the apex, the sides Avith rows of very fine 

 punctures, suture strongly elevated and acutely produced at 

 the apex. Pygidium closely strigose and sparsely pubescent. 

 Beneath coarsely strigose and with sparse brown pubescence 

 at the sides, mesosternal process obtuse and rounded, not 

 divergent; anterior tibia? Avith two teeth and the apical spine 

 rather obtuse. Length 20 mm.

Allied to G. margined uttata , G.P. 



Gymnetis fabaria, n. sp. 



Brownish luteous, opaque, with four very small red-broAvn 

 marginal sjaots on the elytra, apex of mesosternal process and 

 tarsi pitchy black, shining. Head very finely and obsoletely 

 punctured, clypeus slightly narrowed in front, not rounded, 

 apical margin slightly elevated and sinuous. Thorax irapunc- 

 tate, the posterior angles acute. Elytra narrowed behind, 

 impunctate, the disc slightly wrinkled, the carina almost 

 obsolete, suture scarcely elevated, the apical angles obtuse; 

 epimera large with a rather acute shining tubercle. Pygidium 

 strigose. Beneath very coarsely punctured on the mesosternum, 

 with sparse pubescence, sides and apex of the abdomcjn more 

 finely punctured, mesosternal process large, bent down and 

 obtuse ; legs punctured, and fringed with brownish hairs, 

 anterior tibia3 without teeth. Length 15 mm, 



Balzar Mountains, Ecuador (Illingworth). 



Apparently belonging to section 8 of Bvirmeister, but Avith 

 the apical angles of elytra not produced. It resembles G. 

 cinereu, G.P., in colour, but in other respects is very distinct 

 from any species Avith Avhich I am acquainted.
