k) Mr. G. C. Champion o//, the Heteromerous Coleoptera 



punctured, the eyes very large ; (antennas with joints 6-11 broken 

 off). Pro thorax wider than the head, subcordate, closely and 

 rather coarsely punctate, with a longitudinal median carina 

 towards the apex, this being replaced behind by a smooth narrow 

 space, the disc depressed on either side before the middle. Elytra 

 moderately long, one-half wider than the pro thorax, closely and 

 finely punctate, and with two faint costai on the disc. Legs stout ; 

 claws angularly dilated within. Length tl j, breadth '2^ mm. ( 9 .) 



Hah. St. Vincent — Chateaubelais. 



This insect resembles 0. simplecV in colour, except that 

 the head is infuscate along the middle, and the thorax 

 has a dark median line; it is, however, more shining and 

 much more distinctly punctured, the punctures on the 

 thorax being rather coarse, and the pubescence is coarser. 

 The mandibles are long, slender, and simple, pointed at 

 the tip.

Copidlta costatu, n. sp. 



Elongate, rather broad, subopaque ; testaceous, the eyes and the 

 tips of the mandibles black, the elytra with a broad submarginal 

 pale brownish stripe extending from the base to the apex ; above 

 and beneath finely pubescent. Head thickly, finely punctate ; 

 (antenniB broken ofi:\ Prothorax slightly wider than the head, 

 subcordate, about as broad as long, closely, finely, very distinctly 

 punctate, the disc flattened in the centre before the base, and also 

 depressed on either side before the middle. Elytra moderately 

 elongate, nearly twice as wide as the prothorax, closely, shallowly, 

 very finely punctate, and with four well-defined costae— the third 

 abbreviated in front and behind, and the second and fourth almost 

 confluent behind — the suture also raised and costiform. Legs 

 stout. Length 10^, breadth 2f mm. ( $ .) 



Hah. ? St. Vincent. 



A single mutilated example of this species is contained 

 in Mr. Smithes Antillean collections. It is, unfortunately, 

 not labelled with the exact locality, but is probably from 

 his first collection made at St. Vincent. The elytral 

 costae are unusually well-defined. The left mandible is 

 truncate and scarcely emarginate ; the right mandible is 

 bifid at the tip.
