Mr. F. P. Pascoe on new Neotropical Curculionidce. 423 



apicem versus inciso-sulcata?, ciliatse. Coxa posticae magis ap- 

 proximatae. Caetera ut in Cypho. 



Compsus vestalis. 



C. oblongus, squamulis albis, aliis laete viridibus intermixtis, densis- 

 sime vestitus ; capite, antennis pedibusque squamulis aureo-opa- 

 lescentibus tectis ; rostro in medio lineato-impresso ; scapo valido. 

 Long. 6| lin. 



Hab. Macas. 



Oblong, closely covered with white mixed with bright 

 green scales, the whole apparently pale green; head, antennae, 

 and legs opalescent, covered with golden scales having a slight 

 rose tint ; scape of the antennas rather short, stout ; head and 

 rostrum with a slightly impressed median line ; prothorax 

 slightly broader than long, the sides not rounded, sparsely 

 punctured, a shallow longitudinal impression, the base bisinu- 

 ate ; scutellum small, roundish ; elytra a little broader behind 

 the middle, the apices divaricate, striate-punctate, the inter- 

 stices raised, the punctures double-rowed. 



In coloration agreeing to a certain extent with C. auri- 

 cephalus (Say), but, inter alia, without the slender scape of the 

 latter. 



Compsus mirandus. 



C. elongato-ovatus, squamulis laete aureo-viridibus, maculis denu- 

 datis nigris elytrorum exceptis, dense tectus ; rostro modice 

 robusto ; elytris poslice angustatis, singulatim apice productis. 

 Long. 7 lin. 



Hab. Columbia. 



Narrowly ovate, covered above and beneath with rich 

 golden-green scales, the vertex with two, the elytra with 

 several round black naked spots; antennas slender, the funicle 

 rather long, the club darker ; prothorax longer than broad, 

 the base bisinuate ; scutellum expanded behind ; elytra not 

 much produced at the shoulders, narrower posteriorly, each 

 ending in a prolonged apex ; knees and tibire with a slight 

 bluish tint. 



A handsome species, with no near ally, so far as I know, 

 except the preceding. 



Compsus virgineus. 



C. oblongus, densissime cretaceo-squamosus ; antennis, genibus tar- 

 sisque pallide caeruleis ; scutello transverso ; elytris bifariam 

 seriatim punctatis. Long. 7^ lin.
