West-Indian Longicorn Coleoptcra. 27 



described a species witli brown elytra, tliou^'-h the Fabriciaii 

 description reads " elytra subscabra, nigra." I cannot find 

 Olivier's type in the collection of Banks, where it is stated to 

 have been. The ^S'. astei-ia, Bnq., of Do jean's Cataloii;ue is a 

 very distinct variety from Martinique and Guadeloupe, and 

 answers fairly well to Olivier's description and figure of S. 

 canaliculata. The s))ecimcns of S. suhcanalicidata, White, in 

 the British .Museum bear no indication of locality; but two 

 sj)ecimcns in Mr. Fry's collection are ticketed Trinidad. 



In the footnote below* will be ftnmd described an interesting 

 new species of Solcnojttera from (Colombia. The description 

 is taken from a single male specimen in Mr. Fry's collection. 



Elateropsis, Chevr. 



In describing Cuban species of this genus Chevrolat has 

 again erroneously made useof Linnean and Fabrician names. 

 Under the name E. Uneata he has mixed up two distinct 

 species — one the true Uneata of Linnseus and Fabricius, the 

 other the following : — 



Elateropsis punctata, sp. n., ? . 

 E. Uneatie similia, sod difl'ert elytris sat fortiter et dense puuctatis. 

 Ilab. Cuba. 



* Solenoptera intermedia, sp. u. 



S- Obscure ferruginea; elytris brunneo-testaceis, marginibiis lateralibus 

 pallidioribus ; capite dense puuctato, tenuissime griseo-piibesccute ; 

 priitliorace medio dursi fere piano, nitido, valde rugoso-])unctato, versus 

 latera et subtus (medio excepto) minute cont'ertissimeijue puuctato; 

 .«cutello elytrisquo valde rugoso-punctatis ; corporo subtus fortiter sat 

 deuseque puuctato, episternis me^o- meta-thoracisque pube albo-sericea 

 dense obtectis ; pedibus subscabroso-punctatis ; anteuuis punctatis, 

 dimidium corporis nee attiugeutibus. 



Long. 83; lat. ad humeros 11, ad medium prothoracis 12 mm. 



Hab. Colombia. In the collection of Mr. Alexander Frj'. 



Tht! prothorax in this species is but very slightly depressed aud almost 

 flat along the middle of the disk ; its width across the middle is slin^htly 

 greater than tliat of the elytra; from the middle it is narrowed, with a 

 rounded curve on each side up to tlie anterior border ; the margins are 

 very faintly crenulate on the anterior half; the constriction on each side 

 at the base is deep but short, so that the postero-lateral angles are at a 

 small distance from the shoulders of the elytra. Though undoubtedly 

 belonging to the genus !Sulenoptcra, the species is shown, by the characters 

 here given, to bj somewhat intermediate between the latter genus aud 

 the Central-American genus Hi>hinotu<, Thorns. In colour and form it 

 somewhat resembles *S'. Thonue, Linn., but m ly be easily distiugiii.shed bv 

 the characters given above.
