the iniddlo, two at the apex small and close together, posterior 

 4-spinose ; antcniue and legs pitchy black. 



1 have dedicated this species to my friend Mons. Antoine 

 Grouvelle, whose work in the Cucujidai and other families is 

 well known, and to whom I am much indebted for many 

 novelties in this family. 



Hab. Bahia. 



Teretriosoma plumicorni's, sj). n. 



Cylindricum, viridura, nitidum, puncfcatum ; mesosterno stria sub- 



integra ; capito subtus, anteniiis pedibusqiie rufis. 

 L. 2] mill. 



Cylindrical, bluish green, shining ; head rather closely 

 punctured and transversely convex, mandibles, head beneath, 

 and abdominal segments reddish ; thorax similarly punctured 

 in front and on disk, punctures larger at the base, no scutellar 

 fovea, lateral stria strong, fine but clear behind the head ; 

 elytra without striae, punctures rather more densely set 

 a])ically, transversely impressed near the base ; propygidium 

 densely punetulate ; pygidium gibbose above, feebly concave 

 in the inferior half and throughout punetulate like the propy- 

 gidium ; })rosternum feebly arched at the base, closely punc- 

 tate ; mesosternum feebly and obtusely produced, stria not 

 quite complete anteriorly, punctate like the prosternum; lateral 

 stria of the raetasternum well marked and oblique, no median 

 line ; ar.tennaj and legs red, scape pilose ; anterior and 

 intermediate tibi^ 7-dentate. 



This insect is smaller and relatively narrower than T. virens^ 

 and the head and abdominal segments are red beneath. The 

 lateral stria of the metasternum is also less oblique and 

 stronger. The median line of the metasternum in T. virens is 

 clearly visible but extremely fine.

pvgidio pygidioque dense puuctatis ; mesosteruo immarginato. 

 L. 2i mill. ' 



Subcylindrical, bluish green, shining, antennae and legs 

 dull red, the scape bearing whitish hair on the upper edge ; 

 head convex between the eyes, not closely punctured ; thorax, 

 marginal stria complete, punctures ratlier closely set on the 

 anterior angles, a little sparse on the disk, larger at the base, 

 no scutellar fovea ; elytra punctured evenly throughout the
