Brazilian Baring 39* 



Each of the coarse sternal punctures bears a very slender setiform 



white squamule. 



Hulpesellus n. gen. 



The body here is narrow, cuneiform, polished, very smooth and 

 glabrous, with a few sparsely dispersed slender white elytral squam- 

 ule! Beak very smooth, cylindric, not very slender evenly and 

 moderately arcuate, separated by a distinct sulcus and with prorn- 

 ment, non^decussate mandibles, which are straight and but feebly 

 irregular within, the left somewhat shorter than the right. An- 

 tenna, submedial, somewhat as in the preceding, the club smaller, 

 oblong-oval. Prosternum apparently somewhat impresari along 

 the middle, separating the coxa, by barely their own width the 

 posterior lobe broad, slightly produced and broadly sinuate Legs 

 rather long, the femora not inflated, strongly and acutely dentate 

 beneath beyond the middle, the tarsi and claws well developed. 

 Prothorax very gradually tubulate, the basal lobe wide, rather 

 Tho t and broldly, evenly rounded, the scutellum closely fitted 

 small, flat, as long as wide and evenly ogival, the elytra with fine 

 but deep and sharply defined smooth grooves, feeble subapical 

 tumidities and feebly tumid humeri. The pygidium is small, 

 transverse, vertical, punctate, flat and evenly rounded, concealed 

 from abo^e by the more extended elytra. The single species is 

 the following: 



width 1.8 mm. Brazil (Santarem). One example. 



A species easily identifiable by the strong inferior tooth of the 

 femora, general cuneiform outline and peculiar disposition of the 

 very few long slender white elytral squamules. 



Parasolaria n. gen. 

 Although the femora are wholly unarmed in this genus, I have 

 placed it near Solaria because of a certain similarity in habitus, it
