418 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on new Neotropical Curcidionidce. 



tractecl at tfte apex, the disk with about eio-ht tubercles ; 

 scutelkim oblong, scalj ; eljtra as broad again as the pro- 

 thorax, slightly narrowing towards the broadly rounded apex, 

 tubercles numerous, the four principal ones nearly central ; 

 abdomen and metasternum glossy black ; legs with much 

 scattered elongate scales. 



Homalocerus jyimctum. 



U. clongatus, parallelus, niger, pilis griseis miuutis adspersus ; pro- 

 thorace in medio et ad latera macula rubro-aurantiaca ornato ; 

 elytris apice ad suturam mucronatis. Long. 4 lin. 



Hah. Parana. 



Elongate, parallel at the sides, black, with scattered minute 

 greyish hairs, condensed and forming a stripe on the outer 

 margin of the elytra ; eyes very prominent ; rostrum remotely 

 punctured ; prothorax nearly as long as broad, studded with 

 small black granules, a dense patch of clear reddish-orange 

 scales in the centre and a similar patch at the side in front, 

 and behind the latter a larger white one ; scutellum incon- 

 spicuous ; elytra seriate-punctate, the interstices closely 

 granulate, the apex of each prolonged at the suture into a 

 short conical point ; legs ferruginous. 



Allied to H. lateralis (an unpublished name, I believe, 

 common in collections), but with a longer and narrower pro- 

 thorax, apiculate elytra, and without the central prothoracic 

 spot. 



Lcemosaccus hlandus. 



L. oblongus, subcylindricus, fusco-castaneus, pilis albis inaequaliter 

 vestitus ; elytris postice abrupte declivibus, apice singulatim tu- 

 berculato-fasciculatis. Long. 2| lin. 



Hah. Parana. 



Oblong, subcylindric, dark brown or chestnut, unequally 

 clothed with fine white hairs, those on the basal half of the 

 elytra more densely set, and, in my specimen, assuming the 

 form of the letter X ; rostrum stoutish, finely punctured ; 

 antennas ferruginous ; prothorax finely punctured, the sides, 

 except at the apex, nearly parallel, the anterior portion with 

 two well-marked callosities; scutellum round; elytra very 

 slightly broader behind, somewhat interruptedly striate, the 

 interstices finely punctured, the alternate ones raised, the 

 fifth at the declivity with a small black fasciculate tubercle; 

 legs ferruginous ; all the femora with a triangular tooth ; 

 anterior tibiae strongly curved. 



This species may be placed near L. variegatus ; but it
