new species of Endomycict. LZ 
Genus Ernuesus, Gerstaecker. 
Ephebus depressus, n. sp. 
Oblongo-ovatus, depressus, rufo-piceus, pube grisea 
tenuiter vestitus, antennis concoloribus articulis sex ultimis 
piceis, thorace antice angustato, lateribus 4 basi usque ad 
medium subparallelis, angulis posticis sub-acutis. Long. 
din: 3; 2: 
Head and thorax thickly and strongly punctured, basal 
sulci short, and not connected by any transverse impression, 
the base being only margined in the middle by a fine 
raised line; the sides and front margin have the extreme 
edge finely raised also; sides sinuate, being rounded from 
the front angles to about the middle, whence they are 
parallel to near the hind. angles; these are a little turned 
out, and so acute. On the disc (in the single specimen 
under observation) are two large foss near the middle; I 
am, however, inclined to think these are accidental. 
Elytra of the width of the thorax at their base, thence 
gradually widened to past the middle; more than twice as 
long as the head and thorax, shining, closely and mode- 
rately strongly punctured, and with a fine grey pubescence. 
Antenne of the length of the head and thorax, pitchy-red, 
with joints 6—10 darker, and apical jot pitchy, but 
lighter than the five preceding; the jomts 6, 7, 8, are 
ball-shaped, 9 and 10 acuminate on the inner side, 11 
trapezoidal, widest externally. Legs testaceous. 
Some of the details of this species do not quite accord 
with the few Ephebi (e.g. cardinalis, G.) which I have 
examined—notably the terminal joints of the antenne and 
maxillary palpi—yet its general appearance and structure 
so far agree with Ephebus, as defined by Gerstaecker, 
that I think it better to place it in that genus at present. 
Hab.—Rio Janeiro. Coll. Fry. 
Ephebus ignobilis, n. sp. 
Ovatus, tenuiter pubescens, testaceus, antennarum clava 
nigra, thorace disco parcius, lateribus crebrius fortiter 
punctatis. Long. lin. 2. 
Head with a few scattered punctures; thorax at base 
twice as wide as long, hind angles a little acute, disc 
moderately, sides thickly and strongly punctured. Elytra 
punctured at the base, but only very obsoletely below the
