I am not sure that my reference of these specimens is 

 correct. The thorax has a dark patch on the disc at the 

 base, intersected by two rosy-yellow lines, and more or less 

 bordered with the same colour. Elytra with the nervures 

 costate ; the general colour is pale testaceous; the antennae 

 (basal joint excepted), palpi, tarsi, are fuscous. The 

 pygidium in the male is rounded at the apex and lanceo- 

 late, lobed at the sides, the ventral apical segment trilobed, 

 central lobe broad, cleft.

Also of doubtful identity. Pygidium simply sinuate, 

 ventral plate not lobed at apex. Abdomen with four 

 segments, breast, legs and antennas dark fuscous, coxte 

 and middle of sterna paler.

C. dorsalis (Mots. Etud. ii. p. 84), can hardly be the 

 same as this ; it is from Brazil. 



$ . Pygidium sinuate at apex, ventral apical plate nearly 

 similar. 



Cratomorphus parmatus, n. sp. 



Oblongo-ovalis, sordide testaceus, thorace areolis duabus 

 antice diaphanis, disco postice piceo, lineolis duabus parvis 

 flavis, elytris brevibus subscutiformibus. 



Long. lin. 7. $. 



Mas. — Pygidio trilobato, lobis lateralibus medio longi- 

 tudine fere tequalibus, curvatis ; segmento ventrali apicali, 

 utrinque fortiter sinuato. 



This little species will easily be distinguished from any 

 other by its short shield-like form, in which it quite 

 resembles certain Asjndosomce. The eyes are particularly 

 large for its size ; the abdomen with the dorsal segments 

 fairly lobed. 



Cayenne ; Mus. Brus. ; a single male.
