Brazilian Baring 103 



12 — Beak short, thick and arcuate, not compressed; antennae medial, rather 

 short, the first funicular joint as long as the next three, the club somewhat 

 stout, densely pubescent, gradually pointed, with deep sutures, the first 

 segment distinctly less than half the mass, the outer funicular joints gradually 

 broader; body rhomboid-oval, glabrous and shining, the scutellum small, 

 flat, parabolic and in close contact with the elytra, the latter deeply grooved, 

 with a few slender squamules near the scutellum; prosternum canaliculate. 

 [Type P. obesida nov.] Pseudogarnia 



Beak long, moderately slender, arcuate; antennae submedial, the first funicular 

 joint as long as the next two, the club oval, its first segment larger but not 

 quite half the mass; outer funicular joints less broadened; body oblong- 

 suboval, glabrous, smooth and shining, the flat scutellum larger and more 

 obtuse, only at the sides in close contact with the elytra, which are similarly 

 grooved; prosternum flat. [Type L. polita nov.] Leptogarnia 



13 — Body rhombic-oval, subglabrous, the thoracic lobe and scutellum clothed; 

 beak moderate, nearly straight; antennas medial, the scape not attaining 

 the eye, the first funicular joint not as long as the next two, which are obconic, 

 the outer joints stout; club rather short, with strong sutures, its basal 

 segment from one-half to two-thirds the mass and subglabrous; prosternum 

 squamulose, feebly impressed; scutellum transverse, more or less free; elytra 

 very coarsely grooved; upper surface sparsely punctate. [Type T. parvi- 

 clava nov.] Tenemotes 



Body shorter, subrhombic, but with notably large prothorax, glabrous, smooth, 

 shining and bicolored; beak long, arcuate, compressed and strongly sculp- 

 tured, smoother and more slender beyond the antennae in the female; antennae 

 behind the middle, the first funicular joint shorter than the next two, the 

 pubescent club moderate and narrowly oval; prosternum feebly canaliculate, 

 slightly bitumorose in the male; scutellum somewhat transverse, closely 

 fitted and densely squamulose, the elytra grooved. [Type T. orbatus nov.] 



Tenemotides 



14 — Body wholly glabrous, oblong-oval; beak rather thick (o 71 ), very moderately 

 so (9), strongly and loosely punctate, separated from the head by a deep 

 but rather fine sulcus; mandibles decussate, strongly dentate, rounded ex- 

 ternally; antennal club abrupt; scutellum closely fitted, oval; prosternum 

 not spinose in the male, the femora all non-spiculate. [Type P. atrolncens 

 nov.] Paragarnia 



Body completely glabrous; beak very thick, shining, with feeble transverse 

 basal impression, the mandibles broadly decussate and strongly dentate; 

 femora slender, the anterior spiculate beneath; antennal club gradually 

 formed; scutellum fitted closely to the thoracic lobe and surrounding elytra. 

 [Type 5. gradata nov.] Spolatia 



Body above glabrous, the elytral base and the suture squamulose in the type; 

 femora large, not spiculate beneath; antennal club very gradual in formation; 

 scutellum free; tarsal claws large and finely striate. [Type L. saturalis nov.] 



Linogarnia 



Body glabrous above, sparsely, evenly and minutely squamulose beneath; beak 

 thinner and straighter, with a deep transverse sulcus at base; mandibles 

 long and prominent, not decussate, but with a large internal tooth; antennal 

 club not so gradually formed; tarsal claws large, striate. [Type T. obsid- 

 iana nov.] Tudeniaspis 



Body similar in lustre and vestiture; beak rather short but only moderately 

 thick, arcuate and closely sculptured, with feeble and indefinite basal im- 

 pression; mandibles broadly decussate and strongly dentate; antennal club 

 longer, gradually formed; body as in the two preceding, rather small and 

 not broadly oval; claws almost as in the preceding three genera, straight, 

 diverging, somewhat unequal and striate. [Type T. bicolorata nov.]
