Brachysplioenus porcellana. 



Brachysphcenus porcelkma, Lac. Erot. 300. 



Cayenne. 



Thorax semicircularly emarginate in front; prosternum com- 

 pressed into an acute ridge, pointed in front, broad and slightly 

 emai-ginate behind, with no sutures visible; sides of metasternum 

 dee])ly punctate; postei'ior tarsi long; no coxal lines. 



BrachysphcBnns orphanulus.* 



Brachysphcenus orjihanulus, Lac. Erot. 307. 

 Cayenne. 



Brachysplicsnus manicatus.* 



Brachysphcenus manicatus, Lac. Erot. 312. 



Columbia. 



This is very near yEf/ithus ; the intermediate coxal line is 

 complete, the posterior absent; the striae of the elytra are closely 

 approximate, leaving broad smooth interstices. 



Brachysphcenus annulatus. 



Erotylus annulatus, Germ. JV. Ins. Sp. 613. 



Brachysphoinus — , Lac. Erot. 330. 



Brazil. 



Prosternum broad behind, rather deeply emarginate; no coxal 

 lines; thoi-ax almost semicii'cularly emarginate in fi'out; antennie 

 with a 3 jointed club. 



Brachysphcenus conspersus. 



Erotylus conspersus, Dicp. Erot. 28. T. ii. f. 48. 



Brachysphcenus — , Lac. Erot. 3 4:2. 



Brazil. 



This species is certainly closely allied to B. cmnulatus: the 

 antennge are elongate with a 3-jointed club; the intermediate 

 coxal line is present, but abbreviated ; the thorax is semicircularly 

 emarginate in front.

Rufo-testaceus, oblongo-ovatus, nitidus, clypeo punctato ; 

 thorace convexo, lateribus rotundatis, vix punctato, nigro-signato; 

 scutello nigro ; elytris flavo-testaceis, gemellato-jiunctato-striatis, 

 interstitiis punctis paucis, confuse nigro-signatis. L. 4 ^ lin.
