508 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some 
Pachypeza teres. 
P. anguste elongata, picea, supra pube silacea albaque vittatim 
ornata; elytris cylindricis, haud albo-marginatis; pedibus brevis- 
simis. Long. 6 lin. 
Hab. Brazil. 
Narrowly elongate, pitchy, with sparse pubescence, which on 
the prothorax and elytra is condensed into narrow silaceous and 
whitish stripes; antenne as in the last; prothorax longer than 
broad, slightly wrinkled; elytra parallel, closely punctured, sides 
unicolorous: legs very short, the posterior pair not extending 
beyond the abdomen; epipleura of the meso- and metasterna pure 
white. 
A narrower species than the last, the prothorax less 
wrinkled and not broader at the base than at the apex ; 
the elytra without the margins, &c. Pachypeza tr- 
vittata, Newm. (‘ Entomologist,’ p. 382), from the 
Philippine Islands, is probably a Pothyne. 
Sparna macilenta. (Pl. XIV., fig. 5). 
S. angusta, nigra, dimidio postico elytrorum fulvo; antennis 
articulo basali quam articulis tertio, quarto, quintoque conjunctis 
vix,breviore. Long. 4} lin. 
Hab. Sarayacu (Ecuador). 
Narrow, black, not shining, the posterior half—or thereabouts 
—of the elytra brownish yellow; antenne slender, but the first 
joint stout, hairy beneath, and as long as the third, fourth and fifth 
joints taken together, the fourth yellowish, black only towards the 
apex: each elytron with two raised lines, the apex with an acute 
spine on the outer margin; body beneath and femora, except at the 
base, glossy black. 
The character “elytra suture hiantia” (Thomson, 
Syst. Ceramb., p. 80) appears to me to be due to an 
accidental divergence as often happens, and is not men- 
tioned by Lacordaire. 8S. lycoides, the type, has a super- 
ficial resemblance, especially as regards colour, to 
certain Lyci, but this species fails in that respect, being 
a narrow form with the elytra only moderately dilated 
towards the apex; the third joint of the antenne is 
scarcely stouter than the fourth, in which it disagrees
