By E. Ker^^rotli. 



Syzygitis nov. geo. — Corpus ovale. Caput subœque latum ac 

 longum, modice déclive, ad vel fere ad oculos immersum, spatio 

 interoculari oculo triplo latiore, ante ocellos a linea média capitis 

 quam ab oculo magis remotos impressione destituto, clypeo jugis 

 longiore, tuberculis antenniferis a supero visis brevissimis, apice 

 truncatis, extus inermibiis, antennis dimidio corpori subseque 

 longis, articulo primo apicem capitis paullum superante, secundo 

 inter omnes longissimo, quarto tertio pauUo breviore, auguste 

 fusiformi, bucculis humilibus, médium gulae paullum superan- 

 tibus, rostro coxas posticas attingente, articulo primo apicem pros- 

 terni paullum superante. Pronotum trapeziforme, modice déclive, 

 longitudine sua paullo minus quam duplo latius, basi quam apice 

 circiter duplo et dimidio latius, lateribus carinato-marginatum, 

 marginibus omnibus rectis, angulis humeralibus rotundatis, non 

 prominulis, disco antice carina média obtusa marginem posti- 

 cum arearum cicatricalium attingente instructo, his areis oblique 

 subovalibus, série punctulorum circumclusis et medio punc- 

 tulatis. Scutellum paullo latius quam longius. Clavus seriebus 

 punctulorum duabus percurrentibus et inter eas série antice abbre- 

 viata instructus. commissura dimidio scutelio paullo longiore; 

 corium in tus biseriatim, mox extra venam radialem ultra médium 

 corii parum extensam uniseriatim punctulatum, dimidio anteriore 

 disci impunctato, posteriore inordinate punctulato, limbo costali 

 laminato-dilatato, reflexo, impunctato, margine apicali recto, quam 

 sutura clavi nonnihil breviore. Angnli postici metasterni subacuti. 

 Abdomen elytris sat multo angustius et brevius, saltem in femina 

 sat longe ultra angulum apicalem corii extensum, vagina feminse 

 médium ventris nonnihil superante. Femorà antica inermia, parum 

 incrassata ; articulus primus tarsorum posticorum ceteris unitis 

 seque longus. 



AUied to Polychisnie Kfrk., but readily distinguished by shorter 

 antenniferous tubercles, longer rostrum, non-rotundate apical 

 angles of the pronotum, and, above ail, by the laminately dilated 

 and reflexed costal border of the coria. (The genus Mayana Dist., 

 which its author places near Polychisnie, is according to Van Duzee 

 a synonym of Crophius Stâl of a quite difïerent subfamily). 



Syzygitis reflexa n. sp. — Elytris subnitidis exceptis opaca, 

 albo testacea, scutelio (excepta nota V-formi dimidii apicalis), tergo 

 abdominis (exceptis notulis aliquot partis apicalis) puncturaque
