elytra are entirely cyaneous ; the prothorax also is 

 more parallel-sided, and the under side is more broadly 

 cyaneous. 



New Granada ; in Mr. Crotch's collection as the type 

 of a new genus. It evidently belongs to the same genus as 

 the preceding. 



Ortholanguroides, n.g. 



Very closely related to OrtholcDuiuria, Crotch (Rev. 

 Erot. Cist. Ent., i., 395), but with the club of antennae 

 five-jointed and larger eyes : the species that I have seen 

 are much smaller and narrower. Crotch's description of 

 his genus is as follows: — "Cylindrical, parallel; head 

 destitute of stridulating organ ; antennae with a four- 

 jointed club ; thorax elongate, base margined ; elytra 

 with the apex truncate, denticulate, sutural angle acute." 

 Both the genera are at once distinguished by their very 

 jjeculiar parallel and cylindrical shape, the elytra and 

 thorax being of the same breadth, with sides continued 

 almost in a straight line, and the former being parallel 

 to apex. 



Ortholanguroides cylindrica, n. s. 



Cylindrica, parallela ; capite uigro, niagno, triangulari, oculis 

 magnis, i-otundatis, leviter graniilatis, anteunis brevioribus, nigris, 

 clava longa ovali distincte 5-articulata ; prothorace rufo, latitudiue 

 longiori, obsolete punctato, basi utrinque striola impressa ; elytris 

 longis, nigris vel nigro-violaceis, ordiuibus punctorum seriatim 

 fortiter dispositis, apicibus denticulatis ; corpore subtus nigro, pro- 

 sterno rufo ; pedibus nigris. L. 9 mm. 



Elongate, parallel, cylindrical ; head black, with very large eyes, 

 which are round, prominent, and finely granulated ; antennae 

 rather short, with large oval five-jointed club; prothorax red, 

 longer than broad, obsoletely punctured, posterior angles rather 

 prominent, base with a stria on each side ; elytra black with a 

 violet tinge, as broad as prothorax, elongate, with strong rows of 

 punctures, apices denticulate; legs black; under side black ; pro- 

 sternum red. 



South America ; Guiana. In Mr. Gorham's collection. 



OrtJiolauguroides Egensis, n. s. 

 Prsecedenti simillima sed capite rufo, prothorace fere laevi, ely- 

 trorumque seriebus minus fortiter impressis facile distinguendus. 

 L. 9 mm.
