Brazilian Baring !7 



with arcuate apex, partially finely punctate; elytra ogival, with narrowly 

 rounded tip, but little longer than wide, a fourth wider than the prothorax 

 the humeri but feebly swollen; striae rather fine, deep; intervals flat sub- 

 opaque, finely punctulate; abdomen subglabrous in a parallel-sided area 

 from base to apex. Length (c?) 2.8 mm.; width 1.7 mm. Brazil (Entre 



Rios). One example inflaticollis n. sp. 



Body less stout, the prothorax not notably inflated at the sides. Form ovulate 

 convex, piceous in color, the white scales forming two oblique lines on the 

 pronotum, unevenly distributed and comminuted on the elytra, a short line 

 at the middle on intervals 3 and 4 more distinct, also a broad subdenuded 

 transverse fascia behind the middle; under surface with rather close but 

 uneven scaly vestiture, the scales very dense throughout the inferior flanks 

 of the prothorax; beak not quite as long as the head and prothorax, feebly 

 arcuate, stouter, sculptured and squamose basally, strongly tapering and 

 smoother distally; antennal club narrow and elongate-oval; prothorax 

 nearly one-half wider than long, the converging sides distinctly arcuate to 

 the feebly constricted apex, which is less than half as wide as the base- 

 punctures very dense; scutellum parabolic, with fine punctures centrally 

 only; elytra parabolic, a third wider than the prothorax, the humeri oblique 

 not prominent; striae rather fine but deep; intervals flat, the humeral 

 feebly subcannulate; punctures rather small and close, asperulate. Length 

 (<f 9) 1.8-2.2 mm.; width 0.85-1. 15 mm. Brazil (Santarem). Three

3— Body subrhomboid-oval, convex, piceous and slightlv shining, the antennae 

 obscure rufous; white scales nearly as in the preceding, dense at the sides 

 and medio-basally on the pronotum, uneven on the elytra and there mingled 

 with some that are narrower and darker, without short discal lines, but with 

 a dense fascia at apical fourth and a rather dense apical area, rather sparse 

 beneath, close in a small antero-lateral spot on the presternum and on part 

 of the met-episterna; beak distinctly arcuate, feebly tapering, three-sevenths 

 as long as the body and somewhat slender, sculptured and sparsely squamu- 

 lose basally; prothorax nearly one-half wider than long, the sides converging 

 and very feebly arcuate through more than basal half, then broadly rounding 

 and converging to the apex, which is half as wide as the base; punctures 

 rather strong and very close; scutellum trapezoidal, its entire surface finely 

 punctulate; elytra but little longer than wide, three-sevenths wider than the 

 prothorax, parabolic in form, the oblique humeri not laterally prominent- 

 stria; moderate but deep; intervals flat, the humeral faintly subcarinat e : 

 punctures fine, somewhat close, asperulate; abdominal sutures 2-4 very 

 coarse and deep except at the sides. Length (tf) i.q mm.; width 1.0 mm 

 Mexico (Vera Cruz). One example ' vapidus n. sp. 



Among the species described by Mr. Champion, it is highly 

 probable that balaninoides, turbidus, exiguus, apiatus and perhaps 

 some others, should be transferred to this genus, which is altogether 

 distinct from either Omogonia or Cyrionyx, though inhabiting the 

 same regions; a specimen of nebulosus, directly communicated by 

 Mr. Champion, proves this to be an Anones also; vapidus cannot 

 be identified with any described species, though apparently allied 

 to apiatus. Bilineatus probably constitutes a distinct genus, be- 

 cause of the narrow elongate outline and long anterior legs.
