similar sexual characters, except that the prosternal spines are very small, 

 straighter and more slender, the basal abdominal segment of the female also 

 similar, excepting the different character of the dense sculpture, which 

 is here more coarsely and discretely punctate and not internally asperulate, 

 as it is in convexus, and that the impunctate area along the base of the seg- 

 ment is much greater in extent. Length 5.0-5.3 mm.; width 3.65-3.75 mm. 

 Brazil (Chapada — campo). November. Two specimens. 



consentaneus n. sp. 



26 — Second elytral stria not attaining the base; beak very thick, short. Body 

 rhombic-oval, with rather thick legs; beak (9) stout, feebly arcuate, cylin- 

 dric, not very coarsely and somewhat irregularly punctate, not as long as the 

 prothorax; antennae black, the first funicular joint nearly as long as the 

 next three combined; club oval, pointed, about as long as the four preceding 

 joints; prothorax three-fifths wider than long, campanulate, the tubulation 

 a fifth the total length and three-sevenths as wide as the base, the basal 

 lobe short, broadly and obtusely rounded, feebly punctulate and declivous 

 at tip, the lateral impressions strong; scutellum very transverse, truncate 

 and unusually convex; elytra scarcely as long as wide, much wider than the 

 prothorax and three-fourths longer, parabolic, the sides deeply biundulate, 

 with the median convexity pronounced; grooves moderate but sharply 

 marked, smooth, none attaining the basal margin or materially dilated at 

 base; prosternal channel glabrous, abrupt and deep, as usual in this section 

 of the genus; basal segment of the abdomen (9) somewhat convex and 

 distally canaliculate medially, sparsely punctate, more densely so and more 

 squamulose apically. Length 6.2 mm.; width 4.4 mm. Brazil (Chapada). 

 January. One specimen brevirostris n. sp. 



Second elytral stria attaining or crossing the basal margin; beak less thick.. .27 



27 — Biundulation of the elytral flanks strongly marked, the median arcuation 

 notably prominent. Body subrhombic-oval; beak only moderately thick, 

 subcylindric, shining, moderately arcuate, somewhat longer than the head 

 and prothorax, sparsely and clearly punctate; antennas piceous, the first 

 funicular joint shorter than in brevirostris, about as long as the next two, 

 the club thick and oval, pointed apically; prothorax campanulate, one-half 

 wider than long, the sides from base to middle converging and nearly straight, 

 broadly rounding thence to the tubulation; basal lobe obtusely rounded, 

 with convex punctate edge and distinct lateral impressions, the apex feebly 

 sinuate medially; scutellum subquadrate, one-half wider than long, finely 

 punctulate and rather convex; elytra barely longer than wide, almost 

 exactly as in brevirostris in every respect; first abdominal segment slightly 

 impressed, sparsely, moderately and somewhat unevenly punctate. Length 

 5.8 mm.; width 3.8 mm. Brazil (Chapada). One specimen, which, from 

 the abdominal characters, would seem to be the male, but the beak is a little 

 longer than usual and there are no prosternal spines. . . . campanulatus n. sp. 



Biundulation feebler, the median convexity broad and very moderate, not prom- 

 inent 2 & 



28 — Body nearly as in campanulatus in its moderate size, rather abbreviated 

 form and shorter and more transverse prothorax 29 



Body more oval, with very much larger and less transverse prothorax 30 



29 — Body rhomboidal; beak (o 71 ) moderately thick, shining, cylindric, distinctly 

 arcuate and not as long as the prothorax, the punctures rather coarse and 

 close at the sides; first funicular joint barely longer than the next two, the 

 club rather short and broad, not as long as the four preceding joints; pro- 

 thorax campanulate, three-fifths wider than long, the sides strongly, very 

 evenly arcuate from base to tubulation, becoming subparallel basally; basal 

 lobe very broadly rounded and with distinct lateral impressions, the apex
