under Lacordalre's observation when he wrote the note * 

 referring to X. confusa. If the complete division of the 

 eleventh joint of the antenna3 is to be taken by itself as a 

 suflicient specific difference, the latter species may conveniently 

 be called X. confusa, Lacord.

Very closely allied to X. vittata, Thorns., from which it 

 differs by the more regular transverse rugation of the upper- 

 side of the prothorax and by the relatively greater length of 

 the elytra.

Hah. Brazil. 



This species is of a dull reddish-brown colour above ; the 

 elytra somewhat paler in tint. The abdomen, the middle of 

 the hind breast, and the femora are reddish testaceous and 

 nitid. The prothorax is strongly, closely, and somewhat 

 rugosely punctured, with a small smooth space on the middle 

 of the disk ; the sides are distinctly rounded in the middle. 

 The elytra are coriaceous, very feebly punctulate, each of the 

 minute punctures or pits bearing an exceedingly minute 

 whitish seta. The first nine joints of the antennai together 

 surpass by a little the middle of the elytra (the remaining joints
