 the hibium obcordate. 



Emydodes coUaris. (PI. III. fig. 3.) 



£. nigra, setoso-hirsuta ; capite prothoraceque kiteis. 



Hab. IJrazil (Vara). 



Black, covered with sliort still" hairs ; head dull reddish-yellow ; 

 prothorax thickly punctured, clear reddish-yellow ; elytra coarsely

 subdepressed, wider behind ; the s^'des somewhat concave. Legs slen-
