52 Mr. Joseph S. Baly on the 



Hah. Cayenne ; a single specimen. My collection. 



Head not longer than broad, triangular ; clypeal ridge elevated, 

 not sharply defined on the sides ; antennae rather more than half 

 the length of the body, filiform, the second joint short, the third 

 rather more than one-half longer, the fourth equal in length to the 

 preceding two united; the three basal, together with the three 

 upper joints, piceo-flavous, the rest nigro-piceous. Thorax rather 

 broader than long ; sides rounded and very shghtly dilated ante- 

 riorly, nearly straight and parallel behind the middle ; disk convex, 

 its hinder portion very slightly flattened, nitidous, im*punctate. 

 Elytra narrowly oblong, dilated posteriorly, moderately convex, 

 distinctly plicate below the humeral callus, rather closely but finely 

 punctured ; surface of disk here and there obsoletely wrinkled. 



The short antennae, scarcely exceeding half the body 

 in length, separate this species from its congeners. 



Spec. 92. Diahrotica analis. 



Elongato-ovata, postice ampliata, modice convexa, flava, nitida, 

 ■abdominis segmento anali, tibiis, tarsis, pectore, scutello capiteque 

 nigris, antennis ad basin piceis aut piceo-fiilvis, articulis penultimis 

 duobus albidis ; thorace transverse, convexo, laevi, utrinque obso- 

 lete foveolato ; elytris convexis, sat crebre, distincte punctatis, ad 

 latera plicatis ; utroque linea suturali, communi, vitta brevi 

 humerali lineaque submarginali ante apicem posita, nigris.

Head not longer than broad ; clypeal ridge ill-defined ; antennae 

 filiform, equal to the body in length in the ? , slightly longer in 

 the (3^, the second joint short, subovate, the third one-half longer 

 than the second, the fourth rather longer than the preceding two 

 united; black, the three lower joints piceo-flavous or piceous, the 

 ninth and tenth yellowish white. Thorax about one-third broader 

 than long; sides nearly straight and parallel from the base to 

 beyond the middle, thence obliquely converging towards the apex ; 

 disk convex, very faintly foveolate on either side, these foveae 

 sometimes entirely obsolete. Elytra oblong-ovate, slightly dilated 

 posteriorly, their apices regularly rounded, convex, shghtly flat- 

 tened along the suture, distinctly and rather strongly punctured, 

 outer disk with three or four very shallow longitudinal sulcations, 

 in some cases nearly obsolete ; subhumeral callus slightly raised 

 and extending from the humeral callus to a short distance below 

 the middle.
