254 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
the vertex ; thicker between the antenne, which are of moderate 
length. Labrum rufous; thoracic punctuation nearly even. A 
slight foveate depression near the anterior angles; sides nearly 
evenly rounded, and with a scarcely noticeable subangulation at 
the middle, and only then at a certain angle. Elytra with well- 
marked foveate depression below the shoulder ; the punctures in 
strong semi-geminate rows, becoming single when the heavy 
sulcation begins towards the apex ; all the punctures and reflexed 
margins are obsoletely metallic green; below and legs dull 
purplish black, tinged with bronze. 
Nearly allied to peruensix, Jac. 
TIhabdopterus ignotus, sp. nov. 
Medium sized. Ovate, broad, shining bronze; below, with legs 
almost black ; thorax irregularly, mixed punctate ; coarsely and semi- 
aciculate at the sides ; elytra strongly, at the sides coarsely punctate ; 
semi-seriate on the disc and striate towards the apex. 
Type, ?, Callanga (?) Peru (second Jac. Coll.). 
Length, 5-5 mm. 
Stout; head rather closely punctate, especially on the lower 
front ; wide frontal and well-marked longitudinal foveas, taking 
the places of the usual depressions. Antenne rather short; 
rufous, joints more or less tinged above with black; thorax 
broad, with a wide refiexed margin; sides subangulate at the 
middle; surface with scattered, ill-defined smooth areas, 
especially at the middle, with a well-marked broad depression 
each side behind the middle; the coarse punctures are almost 
entirely confined to the sides; elytra with deep transverse 
depression below the shoulder. The punctuation is much like 
what I have identified as cuprinus, Lef., from Caracas; the 
reflexed margins and punctures are more or less obsoletely 
metallic green; closely allied to peruensis, Jac., and to 
sulcipennis, supra. 
Rhabdopterus punretatissima, sp. nov. 
Small, rather elongate. Below rufous; breast darker; above 
brownish rufous; the thorax and elytra overlaid with metallic 
plumbeous lustre; feet dark purplish, with bases of femora and tibia 
rufous ; thorax very densely, evenly and finely punctulate ; antennz 
rufous ; joints 7, 9, 10 and 11 dark. 
Type, 6, 9, Paramba, 3500 ft., February, 1897, dry season 
(Rosenberg). 
Length, 4°5 mm. 
Head finely but not very thickly punctate; the usual cross 
depression not deeply marked, and the longitudinal in the 9 
much more strongly indicated than in the ¢; thorax almost 
without depression ; the punctuation very fine and almost even ;
