This Glyptoscelis is of much smaller size than G. 

 i&neipcnnis, Baly ( = fascicular is, Baly), and devoid of any 

 white hairy spots ; the finely punctured thorax, entirely 

 fulvous antennas and general smaller size separates the 

 species from G. gayi, Lef. The sexes do not differ 

 materially, but the last abdominal segment of the female 

 is provided with a shallow fovea, 



Dictymis canaliculata, sp. n. 



Elongate, dark fulvous, clothed with grey pubescence, thorax very 

 finely rugose-ijunctate, with lateral depressions, elytra strongly and 

 closely punctured, the interstices rugose, the apex suddenly defiexed 

 with two rows of divergent tubercles, forming a channel. 



Length 7 millim. 



Fem. Head dark brown, clothed with fulvous pubescence, longi- 

 tudinally channelled at the middle, finely rugose, the clypeus more 

 strongly so, transverse, palpi and antennpe fulvous, the third joint 

 longer than the fourth, the apical joints slightly thickened, extending 

 beyond the middle of the elytra ; thorax about one-half broader than 

 long, the sides with a strongly produced angle below the middle, the 

 disc with a shallow depression at the sides, very finely rugose- 

 punctate, scutellum transverse, pubescent ; elytra narrowed pos- 

 teriorly, the apical portion defiexed at right angles, the disc strongly 

 rugose-punctate throughout, with traces of longitudinal raised lines 

 which at the truncate portion form a ridge of highly-raised tubercles 

 which diverge slightly towards the apex without extending to the 

 latter, the apical portion of the elytra is very thickly covered with 

 grey pubescence ; legs dark fulvous, all the femora armed with a 

 tooth. 



Hah. Chili. 



There is no other sjDecies of this genus described which 

 resembles the present insect in the structure and 

 scidpturing of the elytra. The male is unknown to me. 



ENDOCEPHALIN^. 



Endocephalits tibialis, sp. n. 



Pale fulvous, the antenn;T3 (the basal joints excepted), tibias and 

 tarsi black, thorax closely and irregularly punctured, elytra much 

 more strongly punctured, the interstices slightly rugose.
