New Genera and Species of Neotropical Curculionidae. 191 



than broad, densely sqiiamose. Elytra ovate, much broader in 

 $, the shoulders moderately prominent and rounded, the sides 

 subparallel to the middle in o and beyond it in $, the apices separ- 

 ately pointed ; the punctures large and deep as far as the posterior 

 band, much smaller and substriate be3'ond it ; the intervals finely 

 alutaceous, wdth very minute sparse recumbent brown setae (much 

 smaller than the scales) on the dark areas and vnth. much larger 

 stout dense setae on the pale bands. Legs with short recumbent 

 pale setae, those on the lower surface of the femora and tibiae being 

 rather longer and raised; the tibiae with a very shallow furrow on 

 the basal third of the inner face. 



Length, 15-19-5 mm. ; breadth, 6-S-5 mm. 



Colombia : Andagoya, E. Condoto, Choco {Dr. H. G. F. 

 Spurrell — type) ; Buenaventura (Rosenberg). 



Described from five specimens. The Buenaventura 

 examples have the bands somewhat narrower than the 

 others. 



Closely allied to E. crassicornis Kirsch (1867), but in 

 that species (Plate III, fig. 11) the elytra have no definite 

 pale margin, the posterior sector of the circum-humeral 

 ring has a marked angular projection on its posterior 

 margin on interval 4, and the post-median band is strongly 

 bisinuate and shortly produced backwards on the suture; 

 the lateral furrows on the rostrum are shorter; the scape 

 is thicker and bears much more numerous black setae; 

 the median area of the pronotum bears numerous coarse 

 punctures, and the lateral areas are more rugose. The 

 aedoeagus of the (^ is extremely similar in the two species, 

 except in the dorsal lobes of the tegmen, which are narrow 

 and widely separated in consobrinus, and broadly triangular 

 and contiguous in crassicornis ; the sac is contained entirely 

 within the strongly chitinised cyhndrical curved median 

 lobe. The spermatheca of the $ is differently shaped in 

 the two species (fig. 2, b, c). 



Exophthalmodes parentheticus, sp. n. (Plate III, fig. 12.) 



(J$. Integument black, thinly clothed ^^-ith grejdsh green scales 

 above and with much denser greenish white scaling beneath ; the 

 pronotum with two pale dorsal stripes ; the elytra with a greenish 

 white sutural stripe from the basal margin to a little behind the 

 scuteUum, then turning sharply outwards to form a straight oblique 

 band, the. apex of which reaches stria 6 well before the middle, and 

 subtending with its fellow an angle of about 100° ; a similar reversed
