the Oxford Museum, and was obtained by Myers, without par- 

 ticular locality being given. 



Glyptoscelis paraguayensis, n. sp. 



Elongate, subcylindrical, obscure teneous; antennte and legs ob- 

 scure fulvous ; thorax very finely punctured, clothed with whitish hairs ; 

 elytra more strongly and distantly punctate, greenish-aeneous, clothed 

 with white and fulvous pubescence, the apex of each not produced. 

 Length 6 mill. 



Head closely covered with whitish and fulvous hairs ; labrum fulvous, 

 shining ; eyes deeply emarginate ; antennae fulvous, extending beyond 

 the base of the elytra, the basal joint blackish, the second short, the 

 third longer than the fourth joint, terminal joints widened (the last 

 three joints wanting) ; thorax subcylindrical, nearly twice as broad as 

 long, the sides rounded at the middle, narrowed near the base and 

 apex, the anterior angles pointed, the disc closely and rather strongly 

 punctured, piceous, closely covered with white and yellowish hairs 

 placed transversely, the middle with a feeble ridge ; scutellum sub- 

 quadrate, with a few hairs ; elytra greenish teneous, more strongly and 

 distantly punctured than the thorax and similarly pubescent, the 

 pubescence forming small white or fulvous very indistinct patches, 

 the apex of each rather truncate ; under side and legs thickly 

 pubescent, claws deeply bifid. 



Hab. — Paraguay. 



This species differs from G. ceneipennis, Baly, in the want of 

 the elytra! transverse rugosities, and in not having their apex 

 produced into a point ; G.fascicidaris, Baly, is larger, and has 

 four pubescent thoracic bands ; and G. cryptica, Say, is of a non- 

 metallic colour, and has also pointed elytral apices and simple 

 claws. 



Myochrous curculionoides, n. sp. 



Dark fuscous, clothed with yellowish scale-like pubescence ; 

 antennae dark fulvous ; thorax subcylindrical, projected anteriorly, 

 rugose-punctate and pubescent ; elytra coarsely and closely punctured, 

 the interstices wrinkled throughout, the sides and apex yellowish ; 

 femora with a short tooth. Length 6 mill. 



Of elongate and subcylindrical shape ; the head perpendicular, 

 finely rugose, and clothed with short yellowish pubescence in shape of 

 scales ; labrum and palpi fulvous ; antennae not much extending 

 beyond the base of the thorax, fulvous, the terminal five joints 

 broadly widened at the apex only, the third and the following two 

 joints elongate, nearly equal ; thorax subcylindrical, the sides forming 

 a distinct tooth before the middle, the anterior margin strongly 

 produced at the middle and forming two elevations at the top, the 

 intermediate space of which is depressed, the surface strongly and 

 closely rugose, clothed with yellowish scales at the sides, forming 

 an ill-defined band ; elytra much wider at the base than the thorax, 

 closely impressed with large round punctures, the interstices every- 

 where rugose or wrinkled, clothed with dark and yellow scales, which 

 near the apex form a transverse distinct band, some smaller yellowish
