162 Fleteromera in the Banks Collection. 
The species is omitted from Enderlein’s list of the insects 
of Tierra del Fuego. A specimen obtained by Charles 
Darwin on the voyage of the ‘ Beagle’ agrees well with the 
type, and as it is in much better preservation the following 
notes are made upon it :— 
Similar to, but rather larger than, the European M. testacea, 
more ovate, more gradually narrowed in front and behind, 
the thorax being arcuately narrowed from base to apex. 
The third joint of the antenne is about as long as the 
second and considerably more slender; the first joint 
testaceous, the rest fuscous with apex testaceous ; underside 
fulvous, each abdominal segment except the last with a pair 
of round dark spots near the median line and a larger dark 
patch on each side towards the lateral margin. Length 
64 mm. 
Microcara fuegensis, Bourg., is evidently different, being 
smaller (43-5 mm.), glabrous, wanting the dark spots on the 
ventral segments, etc.

The types of both these species are 2 and in poor preser- 
vation. I am not at present able to identify either of them 
with any of the described species of Hedybius, or to trace the 
names in modern Catalogues.
