dorso convexus, lateribus rotundatis dente postico armatis: elytra 

 convexa, apice 1-spinosa: pedes simplices. 



Cyll. spinifera. Fusca, obscura, lanuginosa : protliorax maculis 

 duabus glabris ornatus: antennarum articuli basi cinerei : elytra 

 fusca, maculis fasciisve lanuginosis cinereis ornata. (Corp. long. 

 •7 unc. lat. '225 unc.) 



Inhabits South America. Specimens taken by Mr. Darwin are in 

 the cabinet of the Entomological Society. I find no description of 

 this insect in Sei-ville's ' Nouvelle Classification,' but it is by no means

 Phacodes to Callidium. 



The descriptions which follow have no reference to any particular 

 family of Longicorns, but are simply recorded as supposed novelties 

 to the science.
