the elytra are manifestly more robust, and more approaching to 
cylindrical ; and the whole insect is shorter and more evenly 
parallel.

§ B. Species elytris apice emarginatis. 
15. S. Hispiformis, n. sp. 
Oblonga, depressa, apicem versus dilatata, fortiter costata, flava, 
nigro-ornata: caput breve, foveola media et excavatione 
undique ad oculorum margines; quoad colorem nigrum; 
thorax transversus, lateribus sinuato-rotundatis (vel ali- 
quando ad medium emarginatis), discus medio longitudi- 
naliter depressus, niger, laté undique flavus; scutellum sub- 
triangulare, nigro-fuscum ; elytra depressa, ad apicem latiora, 
apicibus rotundatis, apud suturam haud dehiscentibus, sed ad 
apicem ipsum undique valde rotundato-emarginatis ; coste 
quatuor elytron singulum ornant, duz exstantes magne 
(juxta suturam et juxta marginem), inter has, et inter exter- 
nam et marginem due alterze apparent, minores (interdum 
quatuor omnes equantur); inter costas majores vitta irregu- 
laris nigra a basi extendit ad maculam apicalem (hac macula 
magna, et apud latera medium versus sese tendenti); antenne 
robuste, sat elongate, articulis 3—7 ampliatis : corpus subtus 
et pedes nigri. 
Long. corp. lin. 43; lat. lin. 23.

an abundant separation of the species before us from its con- 
geners ; in general form it reminds us at once of an Odontota, as 
is suggested by the excellent MS. name given it by M. Chevrolat, 
and which I preserve. 
The species is found in Brazil. I captured three specimens at 
Petropolis in the Organ Mountains, during my visit there with 
Mr. John Gray, in February, 1857.
