92 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on the Colydiidee 
lated to this genus, but differs from it in the length of the basal joint 
of the tarsi. The parts of the mouth, which I had taken out of one 
of my two specimens, have been unfortunately mislaid, but I do not 
think that they presented anything peculiar. 
Endestes incilis.. (Pl. V. fig. 2.) 
£. subnitida ; capite prothoraceque fuscis ; elytris castaneis ; antennis pedi- 
busque ferrugineis. 
Hab. Ega? 
Slightly nitid, dark brown, the elytra chestnut-brown; head slightly 
exserted, subquadrate, rounded anteriorly, the sides considerably re- 
flexed, especially above the eyes, and there terminating abruptly, the 
front scarcely concave, closely and coarsely punctured; antenne ferru- 
ginous, hidden at the base, longer than the head, the two basal joints 
scarcely thicker than the third, the remaining joints becoming gradually 
transverse and enlarging to the eleventh, which is compressed and 
shortly ovate; mandibles entire at the apex; eyes large, rugose, trans- 
versely ovate; prothorax elongate, subcylindrical, gradually narrowing 
posteriorly, a shallow longitudinal groove in the middle, bounded on 
each side by a broad ill-defined carina and covered with large irregu- 
larly crowded punctures, slightly margined laterally, the margin poste- 
riorly curving over the broadly excavated sides; scutellum small, 
pointed behind ; elytra parallel, two of the carine on each more pro- 
minent than the rest, especially towards the apex, where they curve 
outwardly, the interstices with a double row of large, coarse punctures, 
giving the intervals a granulated appearance ; body beneath dark brown, 
shining, rather closely punctured ; legs stout, ferruginous; tibiz subtri- 
gonate, scarcely spurred ; tarsi with the three basal joints scarcely as long 
as the fourth. Length 23 lines. 
Nematidium mustela. 
Pascoe, ante, p. 34. 
The type specimen of this species is from Rio, and in the collection 
of Alexander Fry, Esq. Two smaller specimens, which appear to 
me to be identical, are also in that gentleman’s possession, and are 
labelled “Amazons, Bates.” I owe my example to my friend 
Edward Sheppard, Esq., from whom I received it without a locality ; 
but it is also no doubt from the Amazons. 
Nematidium filiforme. 
N. ferrugineum; capite antice valde convexo; elytris leviter striato- 
punctatis. 
Hab, Ega. 
Linear, elongate, ferruginous ; head finely punctured, very convex in
