Mr. F. P. Pascoe on 7ieio Neotropical Garculionidce. A21 



with a golden tint ; elytra a rich blue ; rostrum purplish, 

 distinctly sulcate at the base above the eyes, much longer than 

 the prothorax ; antennse pitchy ; funicle with the two basal 

 joints elongate, the remainder gradually shorter, the last two 

 only transverse; prothorax nearly im punctate ; scutellura 

 transverse ; elytra linearly striate, the interstices obsoletely 

 punctured ; body beneath and legs greenish. 



The groove at the base of the rostrum and the elongate 

 funicle are characters at variance with the rest of the genus, 

 but in all other respects they agree. 



Ganymela. 



Oculi rotundi, depressi. Rostrum mediocre ; scrohes laterales, breves ; 

 antennce basi rostri insertse, scapus brevis, articulo primo cras- 

 siusculo. Prothorax transversus, basi subbisinuatus. Elytra 

 normalia. Co.vce anticas approximata}. Femora infra serrata ; 

 tibice breves, anteriores arcuatse; tarsi latiusculi, artieulo ultimo 

 parvo ; unguicuU connati. Propectus perparum canabculatum. 

 Abdomen sutura prima fere obsoleta. 



According to Lacordaire the approximation of the anterior 

 coxge is the principal character which separates the " Mado- 

 pterides " from the rest of his " Baridiides." But the genera 

 of the former group are composed of long narrow species very 

 different from the one before us, for which he would probably 

 have constituted another " groupe." The genus is remark- 

 able for the basal position of the antennee and the serrated 

 femora. 



Ganymela nitida. 

 O. fusco-castanea, nitidissima ; prothorace subquadrato, apiee subi'to 

 constricto : elytria supra inaequabbus, lineatim striatis. Long. 

 41in. 



Hah. Panama. 



Dark chestnut-brown, very glossy ; rostrum shorter than 

 the prothorax, moderately curved, with oblong scattered punc- 

 tures ; antennaa ferruginous, third joint of the funicle longer 

 than the second; prothorax convex, the sides straight but 

 gradually widening to the base, the disk remotely and 

 minutely punctured; scutellum concave, truncate behind; 

 elytra bi'oader than the prothorax, the surface irregular, nar- 

 rowly striate , femora moderately stout and having on the 

 anterior pair 6-8 serratures beneath, smaller serratures on the 

 intermediate and posterior ; tarsi with a yellowish tomentum 

 beneath.
