 By Fkancis P. Pascoe, F.L.S. &c. 



The species described in this part, and the subfamilies to 

 which they belong, are : — 



IlYLOBIINiE. ZYGOPIN.E. 



Pileopkorus procerus. Copturus conjunctus. 



expletus. 



Ceyptoehynchin^;. bisellatus. 



Bothrobathys anticus. lyra. _ 



Epitasis, n.'g. paroticus. 



niveosparsa. musculns. 



Nettarhinus graimlatus. crux. 



rudis. collaris. 



Thrasyomus, n. g. eximius. 



turn ens. 



angulatus. 



Pileopkorus procerus. 



1*. angustus, parallclus, squamositate brunnea, obscure pallidiore 

 varia, tectus ; elytris singulatim apice late emarginatis. Long. 

 4 1in. 



Hab. Cayenne. 



Narrow and elongate, the sides nearly parallel, but the 

 prothorax a little broader than the elytra, covered with a dark 

 brown squamosity mixed with a paler brown approaching to 

 dull yellowish, especially a median line on the prothorax and 

 along the elytral suture ; rostrum shorter than the head ; eyes 

 lateral and widely apart ; antennas very short, the club large ; 

 prothorax granulate, the apex extending beyond the head ; 

 scutellum punctiform ; elytra slightly narrower at the apex 

 than at the base, coarsely and closely seriate-punctate, poste- 

 riorly declivous and tuberculate, the apex of each elytron 

 ending in two small tubercle-like processes, between which is 

 a well-marked curvature ; legs and body beneath with a dense 

 pale brown squamosity. 



The type of this singular genus, P. nictitans, a very rare 

 insect, is compared by Lacordaire to an Apate ; the above 

 differs in its longer and narrower form and in the absence 

 of the white band on the elytra. 



Bothrobathys anticus. 



B. sat late ovatus, dense squamosus, prothorace transverso, apice 

 tubulato et bifasciculato-squamoso, lateraliter gradatim angus- 

 tiore ; elytris brcviusculis, lateribus rotundatis. Long. 2 lin. 



Hab. Parana.
