214 Dr. Guy A. K. Marshall on 



liiteral area: the intervals narrow, sinuate and indefinite, but 3 

 ratiier more raised than the rest in the basal two-thirds; a very 

 few, Avidely scattered punctures on the raised areas; some fairly 

 long suberect setae about the apex, but none on the disk. Legs 

 smooth, with scattered setigerous punctures ; the tibiae denticulate 

 internally, the hind pair with a distinct mucro ; the second joint of 

 the front tarsi longer than broad. 

 Length, 15 mm. ; breadth, 4-5 mm. 



Colombia : San Lorenzo Mt., 8500 ft., Magdalena, 

 28. vii. 1920 {Frank R. Mason). 



Described from a single male, for which I am indebted 

 to Mr. Mason, who tells me that it was found on an 

 epiphytic plant in dense forest. 



The very elongate form, tuberculate thorax and mucron- 

 ate hind tibiae (perhaps only a male character) should 

 make this species easily recognisable. 



Exorides inflatus, sp. n. (Plate IV, fig. G.) 



rj2. Integument, entirely covered (including even the venter) 

 with contiguous, small, pale dull green scales, variegated here and 

 there with ])luish ones, especially on the more elevated parts of the 

 thorax and elytra, on the tibiae and a dark transverse band on the 

 club of the femora, on the lower surface of the elytral mucros, and 

 forming a triangular patch in the middle of the base of the second 

 visible ventrite. 



Head with fine shallow punctation and a few scattered deeper 

 punctures (all hidden by scaling), without any frontal fovea, and 

 the ocular margins not impressed. Rostrum a trifle longer than its 

 basal width, parallel- sided; the dorsum with a low median costa 

 and a shallow impression on each side of it anteriorly, and another 

 more lateral impression posteriorly; the interantennal hollow 

 divided in the middle by a low costa. Antennae with the scape 

 slender and exceeding the eye, thinly clothed with fine bluish hair- 

 scales and suberect pale setae ; funicular joints in order of length : 

 (1, 2), 3, 4, (5, 6, 7), the apical ones longer than broad, pear-shaped. 

 Prothorax as long as ($) or slightly longer than broad ((^), parallel- 

 sided from the base to beyond the middle, then narro^w^ed (with 

 straight sides) to the apex, without any apical constriction ; the 

 dorsum with a broad deep longitudinal impression, the floor of the 

 impression and the lateral areas shallowly foveate, the intei-vening 

 ridges not costate ; the apical margin truncate above and very 

 shallowly sinuate beneath. Elytra broadly ovate, widest at or 

 before the midcUe, strongly acuminate behind, the apex of each
