Hoplonyx uniformis, sp. n. 



Oblongus, niger, supra opacus, svibtus nitidus ; capite 

 crebre subtiliter pimctato ; thorace la3vi, postice baud an- 

 gustato, angulis posticis rectis, basi iiti-inque sinuato ; 

 elytris thorace parum latioribus, sat parallelis, convex is, 

 striatis, striis baud profiindis seriatim punctulatis, inter- 

 stitiis parum convexis; femoribus subtus ante apicem 

 dente obtuso armatis. 



Long. 6^ lin. 



General appearance of H. striatus, but with the thorax 

 nearly the width of the elytra. Antennre rather short, 

 three-fifths the length of the elytra. Head finely and 

 closely punctured. Thorax about two-fifths broader than 

 long, convex, Avith no visible punctuation, a little narrowed 

 in fi-ont, the anterior angles obtuse, the sides behind the 

 middle straight, posterior angles right-angles, the base is 

 trilobate, the lateral lobes slight, the mesial one stronger. 

 Scutellum more shining, very finely punctured. The 

 stri^ of the elytra are rather fine but well marked, the 

 punctures in them are small and not very close together. 

 The anterior femora have a tooth below, near the apex, 

 but the tooth is not prominent, it is rather the result of 

 an emargination at the apex. 



Copidita IcBta, sp. n.

 fronte violaceo tincta, crebre pimctato ; thorace crebre 

 subtiliter punctato, supra inasquali, obsolete quinque fusco-

 marginibusque testaceis ; pectore abdomineque griseo- 

 feneis.

Forehead distinctly and rather thickly punctured. 

 Thorax very thickly and rather finely j)unctured, a trifle 

 longer than broad, with five very slight impressions 

 above, the sides are very strongly rounded in front, con- 

 stricted in the middle and immediately before the posterior 

 angles. The elytra have scarcely any trace of costfe, the 

 punctuation is fine, distinct, thick, but not crowded.
