granulate, the margins crenate, two coste on each side, the inner very 
slightly curved anteriorly, the base with two distant, parallel, elevated 
lines, which are scarcely half the length of the prothorax ; scutellum 
punctiform ; elytra 5-costate, the intervals with a double row of shallow 
punctures ; body beneath brownish ferruginous, closely punctured ; an- 
tennes and legs ferruginous; eyes black. Length 1-1; line.

Pascoe, huj. op. i. p. 102. 
In my description of this species the prothorax was stated to have 
three costz on each side; it would have been better, however, to 
consider the innermost as a mere duplicature of the second, as has 
been done in the preceding species. The comparative characters of 
the three Amazons species may be tabulated thus :— 
Prothorax with two elevated lines at the base.

Oblong-ovate, dull reddish brown, opake, whole surface rough with 
coarse punctures and sparsely covered with minute setule ; head short, 
semicircular, slightly convex; epistome transverse, very short, hiding 
the lip; antennz reddish ferruginous ; prothorax transverse, bisinuate 
in front, rounded and margined at the side, slightly lobed behind, the 
disk flat, between it and the margin on each side an angular line, or, 
including the angle formed by the disk, two angular lines; scutellum 
punctiform ; elytra punctate-striate, the alternate interstices elevated, 
the punctures forming large shallow squarish impressions, the setulz 
arranged in rows; body beneath dull brown, coarsely punctured; legs 
and palpi reddish ferruginous. Length 1} line, 
The position which Erichson has assigned to Phleodalis, in con- 
junction with the short description, leave no doubt on my mind 
that I have correctly referred the above to this genus. It is closely 
allied to Bitoma, and differs principally in the possession of antennary 
grooves, as well as a depression beneath each anterior angle of the 
prothorax for the reception of the club. I do not find, however, 
that this antennary groove is straight (gerade) as Erichson states, 
but, on the contrary, it is curved round the whole lower portion of
