1. Haruspex Uncolatus, n. sp. 



II. hrcvipedi (White) * simillimus, sed antennis elongatis 

 filiformibus, hand serratis. Rufescens, subtus nitidus, 

 supra opacus, breviter sparsim setosus ; capita dense puijc- 

 tato ; thorace subcylindrico, angustato, lateribus vix ro- 

 tundato, postice constricto, supra a3quali,eleganterreticu- 

 lato-punctato ; elytris truncatis et bispinosis, supra dense 

 subrugose punctatis, medio vitta irregulari nigricante, 

 lineolas duas flavas includente, una prope basin longiore, 

 altera pone medium multo breviore, intus paulo dila- 

 tataj lineolis supra lineam discoidalem elevatam sitis ; 

 pedibus brevibus, femoribus clavatis. 



Long, 54 lin. S. 



Although the antenna) have elongate linear joints, 

 unlike the majority of the Piezocerince, which have the 

 antennse flattened and serrate, they agree in being 

 grooved and carinate to near the apex, and they are 

 finely and sparsely hirsute above and beneath. The sur- 

 face of the thorax is closely covered wath shallow pits, 

 and has a honeycombed appearance, without any impunc- 

 tate interval; this character, together with the narrow 

 form of the thorax, only half the width of the elytra, 

 readily distinguishes the species from the common Bra- 

 zilian n. brevipes.

Phyton modestum, White, Cat. Longic. Brit. Mus. p. 239. 



Angustatus, cylindricus, testaceo-rufua, opacus, protho- 

 race pectoreque subtus nigris; antennis corpore multo 

 longioribus, filiformibus, vix pilosis; thorace oblongo- 

 ovato, postice valde constricto, supra quadri-tuberculato, 

 snbtilitor rugose et punctate, postice utrinque linea 

 obliqua nigra; elytris apice siuuato-truncatis et breviter 

 bidentatis, supra grossissiine punctatis, linea longitudinali 

 elevata, pone medium utrinque fascia obliqua et post 

 banc macula communi triangulari fuscis.
