Mr. F. P. Pascoe on new Neotropical Gurculionidce. 497 



flattish, scales more crowded posteriorly ; body beneath with 

 subapproximate oehraceous scales ; femora not toothed be- 

 neath, the posterior not extending to the end of the elytra ; 

 pectoral canal extending- to the intermediate coxa?. 



In size and shape this species resembles C. conjims, Boh. ; 

 but, inter alia, the femora are edentate. 



Copturus crux. 



C. ovatus, niger, elytris postice litera T signatis ; antennis modice 

 elongatis, funiculi articulis duobus basalibus fere aequalibus ; 

 t'emoribus obsolete dentatis. Long. 1# lin. 



Hab. Parana. 



Ovate, black, the elytra at the apex with a snowy-white 

 T-shaped mark ; rostrum comparatively short, ferruginous ; 

 antenna? moderately long, fulvous, the first two joints of the 

 funicle nearly equal ; prothorax transverse, slightly rounded 

 at the base, very coarsely punctured, a raised longitudinal 

 line in the middle ; scutellum oblong or subtriangular ; elytra 

 rather short, their apices rounded, coarsely striate, the stria? 

 apparent, impunctate, the interstices crenate ; body beneath 

 closely covered with white scales ; femora short, obsoletely 

 toothed ; tibia? and tarsi ferruginous. 



This species in outline and mutic femora resembles the 

 preceding, but is larger and differently coloured. 



Copturus collaris. 



C. rhomboidalis, niger, maculatim albido-squamulosus ; rostro te- 

 nuato, piceo-nigro ; funiculi articulo secundo quam primum qua- 

 druplo longiore ; prothorace apice late rufo-fasciato ; elytris tenu- 

 iter striatis. Long. 21 lin. 



Hob. Ega. 



Rhomboidal, black, varied with yellowish-white spots ; 

 rostrum slender, pitchy black ; antenna? fulvous, second joint 

 of the funicle four times as long as the first ; prothorax 

 transverse, rather finely and closely punctured, a broad band 

 of pure red scales at the anterior border, and at the base three 

 small yellowish spots ; scutellum rounded ; elytra subcordate, 

 callous at the shoulders, finely striate, the stria? apparently 

 impunctate, the interstices flattish and minutely punctured, 

 three distinct yellowish spots on the suture, the basal largest, 

 and two on the disk at the side ; body beneath covered with 

 approximate white scales ; femora sharply toothed beneath ; 

 pectoral canal not extending beyond the anterior coxa?, but 

 the rostrum impinging on the metathorax. 



Allied to C. rubricollis, Boh., but rhomboidal in outline, 

 differently sculptured, and spots otherwise modified.
