crushed male from the same source, apparently not quite 

 mature, has the anterior and intermediate legs and the 

 base of the posterior femora testaceous, the elytra dark 

 brown, and the vestiture paler. These insects appear to 

 have been obtained by the expedition sent to New Guinea 

 by the Australian botanist Baron von Mueller in the early 

 " eighties." 



Eurygenius, Laferte. 



Species from America, E. Africa, India, Madagascar, etc., 

 have been referred to this genus, which doubtless now 

 requires revision. Casey restricted it, in 1895, to the type, 

 E. reichei, Laf., from Brazil, and placed the various N.- 

 American forms under three new generic names. Five 

 species from Central America were described by myself in 

 1890, one of which (E. uniformis) would doubtless be better 

 placed elsewhere. Two now added are closely related to 

 the type. One other, from the Nilgiri Hills, is provisionally 

 referred to the same genus. 



1. Eurygenius villosus, n. sp. 



$. Elongate, depressed, moderately shining (when denuded), 

 clothed with scattered, adpressed, pallid hairs, which are condensed 

 into a few small spots on the elytra, and also thickly set (the legs 

 included) with long, soft, pallid, erect or projecting setae; reddish- 

 brown, the head, prothorax, and under surface a little darker, the 

 antennae (the infuscate joints 1 and 2 excepted) and legs ferruginous. 

 Head narrowed and feebly developed behind the eyes, densely, the 

 neck coarsely, punctate; eyes extremely large, slightly sinuate in 

 front, somewhat narrowly separated anteriorly; terminal joint of 

 maxillary palpi long, stout, securiform ; antennae slender, extending 

 to a little beyond the humeri, joint 1 long, 2 much shorter than 3, 

 3-11 moderately elongate, slightly decreasing in length. Prothorax 

 about as long as broad, barely as wide as the head, rounded at the 

 sides anteriorly and gradually narrowed posteriorly, densely punctate, 

 except along the narrow smooth median groove, the basal groove 

 placed very near the margin, the neck in front narrow. Elytra long, 

 much wider than the prothorax, depressed, closely, coarsely punctate 

 throughout, the punctures becoming a little larger and more oblong 

 towards the base. 



Length 8, breadth 21 mm. 



Hab. Colombia (ex coll. Fry). 



One specimen. Very near the North Mexican E.
