collected by the late Mr. P. Bouchard, at St. Marta. 295 
Allied to N. impar, Germ., but the coloration at the base of 
the elytra is totally different. I have retained the MS. name it 
bears in M. Chevrolat’s Collection, now in the British Museum. 
APILOcERA* PostTicA, n. sp. (Pl. XX. fig. 4.) 
A. rubida, tertia parte apicali elytrorum griseo-sericea ; pro- 
thorace oblongo-globoso, convexo, longitudinaliter plicato ; 
antennis rubidis, apicem versus infuscatis, 
Brownish-red, with erect scattered white hairs; head flattish in 
front, thinly pubescent ; eyes nearly completely divided; antennz 
reddish, the terminal joints dark brown, the spine of the third 
joint as long as the scape; prothorax oblong-globose, very 
convex, finely grooved or wrinkled longitudinally ; scutellum 
large, subcordate; elytra with an oblong callosity on each side at 
the base, before the middle a transverse narrow ivory line, not 
extending to the suture, behind the middle a black glabrous 
band; the posterior third covered with a greyish silky pu- 
bescence; abdomen beneath black, breast and legs reddish, the 
tibize and tarsi darker. 
Length 3 lines. 
Four or five species of Apilocera have been described by M. 
Chevrolat. The form of the prothorax and its longitudinal 
grooves will serve, inter alia, to distinguish this new member of 
the group. 
This genus has been long known in collections under the name 
of Eplophorus, given to it by M. Chevrolat himself many years ago. 
He places it near Tillomorpha, Bl., but in reality it is very closely 
allied to Euderces, Lec., and, excepting the longer spine at the 
apex of the third antennal joint, I scarcely see how it is to be 
distinguished from the latter. Both have fusiform intermediate 
and posterior femora, which differentiate them from Cyrtophorus. 
Homeemota, Pasc., an Australian genus, is also closely connected 
with the above, but there is not any spine to any of the joints of 
its antenne. 
PsALIDOGNATHUS MODESTUS, Fries. 
I refer with some doubt the specimens sent by Mr. Bouchard 
* Chevrolat, Ann. Soc. Ent. de Fr., ser. 4, t. ii, p. 61. M. Chevrolat 
writes Apelocera and Apilocera indifferently. The latter appears to be the 
more correct.
