ne^c genus and species of Halticince. 585 



gular, contiguous ; carina short, linear ; clypeus large, 

 smooth, impunctate, its surface concave ; antenna3 three- 

 fourths the length of the body, slender, filiform ; 3rd joint 

 distinctly longer than the 2nd. Thorax neai'ly twice as 

 broad as long ; sides straight at the base, slightly convex 

 before the middle, slightly diverging from base to apex, 

 anterior angle obliquely truncate, slightly produced late- 

 rally ; basal border sinuate on either side the medial lobe ; 

 the latter moderately produced, broadly rounded ; disk 

 •smooth, impunctate, basal groove nearly straight, im- 

 pressed with a single row of distinct punctures. Elytra 

 broader than the thorax ; sides subparallel, their apices 

 conjointly acutely rounded ; above convex, broadly de- 

 pressed transversely beloAv the basilar space, the humeral 

 callus thickened ; somewhat strongly punctate-striate, the 

 strias at the extreme apex confused and less strongly 

 punctured, the seventh and eighth interrupted at a level 

 with the transverse depression ; interspaces plain, those on 

 the outer disk more or less thickened. 



Crepidodera Jlavescens. 



Anguste ovata, convexa, flava, nitida, thorace impunc- 

 tato, sulco basali flexuoso, profunde impresso ; elytris 

 glabris, infra basin non depressis, regulariter punctato- 

 striatis, punctis prope apicem fere deletis. 



Long, f lin. 



Ilah. — Brazil. 



Vertex smooth, impunctate, front impressed on either 

 side just above the interocular space by a deep excavation ; 

 encarpse small, trigonate, not contiguous ; carina linear ; 

 antennffi more than half the length of the body, entirely 

 flavous, second and two following joints nearly equal in 

 length. Thorax more than one-half as broad again as 

 long ; sides straight and parallel, anterior angle obliquely 

 truncate, produced laterally into an acute tooth ; basal 

 margin sinuate on either side the medial lobe, the latter 

 produced, its apex broadly rounded ; upper surface convex, 

 smooth and shining (when seen under a deep lens minutely 

 granulose) ; basal groove deeply impressed, distinctly 

 angulate in the middle, its surface impunctate. Elyti-a 

 broader than the thorax, ovate, slightly attenuated towards 

 the apex ; surface not excavated below the basilar space,
