ENDOMYCHICI. 
Family EUMORPHIDE. 
Genus AMPHISTERNUS, Germar. 
Amphisternus sanguinolentus, n. sp. 
Politus, niger, elytris nigro-cy aneis, crebre subtiliter 
punctatis maculis duabus sanguineis, una basilari rotunda, 
alteraé prope marginem oblonga medio constricta. Long. 
lin. 33—4, 4, ¢. 
Mas, fibiis nites medio fortiter dentatis, intermediis 
apice incurvis, abdomine segmento ultimo triangulariter 
exciso, circa excisionem elevato. 
A remarkable species, at first sight resembling an 
Encymon ; the bifurcate prosternum, clavate femora, and 
tooth in the middle of the front tibiz of the male, leave 
me no alternative but to place it here, or create for it a 
new genus. 
The head and thorax are glabrous, with a few fine and 
scattered punctures ; lateral margins of the latter a little 
thickened and sinuous; basal sulci short, deep at base; 
width of thorax nearly twice the length. Elytra half as 
wide again as thorax at the base, ovate, blue-black; a 
blood-red round spot near the base; a broad vitta parallel 
to the margin, composed of two united spots of the same 
colour ; their surface shining, finely, closely and distinctly 
punctured. Antenne not very long; jomts 4—8 little 
longer than wide; 9 triangular, as long as wide; 10, 11 
transverse. Underside shining black; ‘prosternum chan- 
nelled and with the apex bi-mucronate.
