Elongato-oblonga, rufo-picea, nitida ; capite laevi, vertice subtilissime 

 punctulato ; tborace subtiliter punctulato ; elytris distincte stria- 

 tis, striis obsolete punctatis, fere laevibus, interstitiis laevissime 

 convexis, parce obsolete punctulatis, fere laevibus ; pygidio bene 

 convexo, Isevi ; tibiis posticis angustis, dimidio apicali fere paral-

Hah. Cayenne [Lacordaire). 



The above description is taken from Dej can's specimen of 

 "0. myrmidon^ Lacordaire," and is labelled " Cayennae, La- 

 cordaire." It is quite distinct from 0. myrmidon, Westw. 

 It is rather more depressed than most of its allies, the ante- 

 rior tibise have all three teeth beyond the middle of the tibise 

 acute, with the apical one very obliquely directed forwards. 



Onthocharis intermedia, sp. n. 



Elongato-oblonga, nitida ; capite virescenti, fere laevi, clypeo sub- 

 tilissime obsolete punctulato, antice piceo, medio emarginato biden- 

 tato ; tborace obscure virescenti, subtilissime latera versus dis- 

 tinctius punctulato, linea mediana brevi leviter impressa ; elytris 

 basi apiceque sat angustatis, virescenti-nigris, evidenter striatis, 

 striis sat crebre punctatis, interstitiis vix convexis, fere laevibus, 

 lateribus arcuatis ; pygidio virescenti, sat crebre evidenter punc- 

 tate ; corpore subtus nigro-piceo, pectore virescenti ; pedibus 

 piceis viridi-tinctis, tibiis posticis sat elongatis, basi angulatim sat
