130 Psyche [August 



(Edionychis manni sp. nov. 



Testaceous, head and body beneath black, each elytron with two short, pointed, 

 basal, black marks, the outer covering the humerus, the inner edge of the other 

 touching the scutel, and two small sub-apical, obliquely placed black dots. 



Type, Rio Madeira, Brazil 1 length 7§ mm. 



Again like palpalis Jac. and closely allied to Bakeri Boic. Head black with a 

 very deep frontal fovea?, finely strigosely punctate at its upper edge and with scat- 

 tered punctures except on the upper vertex which is smooth, frontal carina very 

 marked between the antenna?, which are half as long as the body and wholly 

 testaceous, third joint slightly shorter than the fourth thorax as in Bakeri, elytra 

 the same form as the last, shiny, smooth, and very obsoletely punctulate, the basal 

 black marks are about 1 to 1§ mm. long, widest at the base and then gradually 

 drawn to a fine point, the external covers the humeral umbone and the point is 

 drawn down so as to be parallel with the lateral margin, which it nowhere attains, 

 the inner mark touches the scutel and the pointed end is directed to the middle of 

 the disk; the effect of this placing is that the two inner marks appear to be diver- 

 gent; the feet, under side of the thorax and mesothorax are testaceous. 



(Edionychis branneri sp. nov. 



Testaceous white, joints 1-3 of antenna? more or less piceous, 3-10 black, thorax 

 with front and rear edges (except the dilated lateral edge) narrowly piceous black, 

 scutel cloudy, elytra with suture very narrowly piceous and on each side 5 piceous 

 black spots as follows: a round dot on the humerus, a slightly larger one immediately 

 behind, near the margin, a larger one to the right of the last and a little towards 

 the base and equidistant between the fir>t two and the suture a transverse bend at 

 the middle, convex in front and barely attaining the suture, and a subquadrate ante 

 apical spot, body beneath cloudy, legs clear testaceous. 



Type, Rio Madeira, Brazil 1 length 5\ mm. 



Form that of albipennis Jac. Head with a transverse frontal fovea? and well 

 marked frontal carina, surface dull and almost impunctate, antenna? a little longer 

 than one half the body, the two apical joints markedly testaceous, thorax with 

 broadly depressed sides and very slightly notched anterior angles, surface impunc- 

 tate, elytra shiny, very obsoletely punctulate, the apex sparingly ciliate; the three 

 first spots form a triangle of which the apex is the humerus, the middle spot is 

 markedly convex in front, but only slightly convex behind. None of the spots 

 attain the margin and only the extreme end of the middle spot encroaches on the 

 suture. I place the species near parallina Jac. 



(Edionychis suffusa sp. nov. 



Head black, clypeus, labruni and mouth parts falvous, antenna? black, basal 

 joints stained below with piceous, joints 3-4 equal, apical joint fuscous, thorax pale 

 flavous, scutel flavous stained with piceous, elytra pale flavous, with a narrow 

 sublateral piceous stripe, dilated at the apical end into a large ill-defined spot which 

 does not attain either the margin or suture, thorax beneath yellow, rest of body
