154 Mr. K. G. Blair on the Fahridan Types of 



with a not very dense clothing of depressed fulvous liairs ; 

 eyes separated by a space about equal to the length of the 

 second joint of the antennae ; thorax strongly transverse, 

 •with a shallow nieciiau ini[)ression gradually evanescent in 

 front, and a moderately strong basal inipiessiou on each 

 side, the surface rather closely but not deeply punctured ; 

 elytra gradually narrowed from just behind the shoulders, 

 deeply punctate-striate, the punctures much smaller behind 

 the middle, intervals convex, finely not very densely aspe- 

 rately punctate. Length 10 mm. 



The species is closely allied to L. jmncticollis, Champ,, from 

 Guatemala, fiom which it diH'ers in liaving the eyes less 

 closely approximate and the punctures of the elytral striie 

 coarser. The British Museum possesses specimens from 

 Peruambuco, Bahia, Espirito Santo, and Rio de Janeiro. 



2. Ilomotrysis rujipes. 



IIi'lops ruJipes, Yixh. Syst. Ent. p. 258. Nova Ilollnndia. 

 Hoinotnjsis (Al/ecida) aiKjusticollii^, Boh. Res. Eug4u. 1858, p. 100. 



The synonymy has been established by Mr. II. J. Carter 

 on specimens compared with the type of He/ops rujipes, Fabr. 

 This is auotlier name that seems to have disappeared from 

 recent catalogues.

3. Lystronychus equestris. 



Uehps equv8trisy Fab. Syst. Ent. p. 257. Brazil. 



The type is defective, wanting the head and thorax, but 

 the elytra of this well-known species are amply distinctive. 



4. Heliotuurus ruJicoUis, 



Cistela itificollis, Fab. Spec. Ins. i. 1781, p. 147. Lusitania. 

 ? Jleliofiiurus sanyuinieollis, Keitt. Verb. Nat. Ver. Briinu. xlv. 1900, 

 p. 143. 



The type is a ? , and is rather doubtfully identical with 

 II. rvjicollis of Reitter's ' Bestimmungstabellen.' The elytral 

 epi pleura tire not turned upwards, but are vertical as iu 

 //. sanyainicollis, Rcitt. 



5. Prionychus ater. 



Helopa ater, Fab. Syst. Eut. 1775, p. 258. Lipsia. 



No collection is definitely specified as containing the 

 type, but the specimen in the Banks Collection bears a 

 label with the above reference, and niay, in default of any 

 individual with a better claim, be taken us the type.
