294 Mr. C. 0. Waterhouse on new 



Haruspex Icevifemoratus, n. sp. 



Piceo-fuscus, subopacus ; thorace confertim rugoso-punctato, sin- 

 gulis elytris vitta mediana lata nigra, costaquo flava (postice 

 abbreviata) et in costa macula nigra ; femoribus posticis intus 

 laevibus, ad apicem solum punctis impressis. 



Long. 7 lin. 



Very close to H. brevipes, White, and only differs as 

 follows : — Thorax a trifle longer, more evenly convex, more 

 evenly arcuate at the sides. Elytra coloured in the same 

 way ; but the yellow costa is more distinct, the yellow colour 

 is not suffused on the inner side, except a spot at its apex ; 

 the spines at the apex (both the sutural and outer ones) are 

 more developed. The femora are more swollen, and the pos- 

 terior one3 are smooth on the inner side, except a few punc- 

 tures at the apex. 



Hab. Sarayacu. 



Polyschisis rufitarsalis, n. sp. 



Nigra, subvelutina, opaca ; antennarum dimidio apicali, tarsis 



elytrisque rufo-oehracois, his ad humeros nigris. 

 Long. 12 lin. 



This species so closely resembles P. Tiirtipes that it might 

 easily be mistaken for it. It differs, however, in having the 

 tarsi yellowish red. The lateral projection of the thorax is, 

 moreover, a little more prominent ; and the angle at this part 

 is less obtuse, i. e. the side behind the tubercle makes with 

 the side before the tubercle a less obtuse angle than in P. 

 hirtipes. 



Hab. Sarayacu. 



Panchylissus, n. gen. 



Muzzle moderately prolonged. Head with a very small 

 tooth-like projection behind the eye. Antennas as long as 

 the whole insect ; the first joint elongate obconic ; the third 

 joint distinctly longer than the fourth ; the apical joints flat- 

 tened but scarcely widened. Thorax evenly convex, rounded 

 at the sides, margined at the base, impressed above at the 

 scutellum. Scutellum very long and narrow, acuminate. 

 Elytra elongate, subparallel, obtusely rounded at the apex. 

 Prosternal process moderately broad, a little raised poste- 

 riorly, obtuse, concave behind. Mesosternal process mode- 

 rately broad, thick, lamelliform, obtuse, concave below in 

 front. Four anterior femora considerably swollen before 

 their apex. Tarsi of Lissonotus, but the posterior pair rather 

 more elongate.
