Species of New-Zcaliintl Colcopiera. W.) 



Acallos jluvisetosua, sp. n. 



Obhntf-oval, luodirately convex, without appreciable 

 iiict|ualitics of surface; rufo fuscous ; rostruui slightly 

 sliiuiujj picco-rufous ; the body densely covered with small, 

 rouiul, de[)ressed, yellowish-j^rey scales, and rather short but 

 not coarse decumbent yellow setie, which, on the elytra, form 

 rejjular series on the interstices. 



Rustniin finely punctate, nearly nude, base scjuamosc, the 

 apex with a few erect yellow sct;c ; it is slightly arul gradually 

 narrowed towards the middle ; there is a distinct contraction 

 or notch at each side of the I)ase. Eyes of normal shape. 

 Scape moderately slender, just touching the eye. Funiculus 

 with yellowish pul)eseence, first joint stout and but little 

 longer than second ; third to seventh gradually thickened ; 

 club ovate, articulate. Thorax contracted in front, feebly 

 sinuate, and depressed at the base ; with an indistinctly 

 raised line along the middle, apparently closely but not 

 coarsely jtunctured. ScutvUnm deeply sunk or absent. 

 Elytra oblong, slightly hroadcr than thorax at the base, a 

 good deal narrowed but not quite [xrpeiulicular behind, 

 coarsely striatc-punctate. Femora grooved underneath ; 

 tibiie uncinate and setose; tarsi with brush-like, not spongy, 

 soles. 



Pectoral canal deep, limited between the intermediate coxre 

 by strongly cKvated nuirgins. Metasternuni rather broadly 

 depressed. Al>doinen on the same jjlane as the epipleura, 

 second segment in the middle quite halt the length of the 

 first, intervening suture quite straight, third and fourth 

 short; underside clothed with yellowish scales. 



This species may be identified by the absence of superficial 

 inequalities, almost uniform coloration, and by the basal 

 margin of the thorax being depressed and densely covered 

 with small yellow scales; this last peculiarity 1 have not 

 noticed in other species. 



Ijcngth (rost. excl.) 1^' ; breadth | line. 



Broken River (3/r. J. H. Lewis) ; a single specimen. 



Sytnpedius rectirostris, sp, n. 



Compact, convex, subovate, variegate, densely squamose; 

 antennte and tarsi ferrugineous. 



Rostrum about as long as thorax, not arched, its basal half 

 slightly expanded towards the eyes ami bearing grey sqiuima>, 

 the aj)ical portion nearly nude and smooth. Thorax much, 

 but not abruptly, narrowed anteriorly, with a pair of promi- 

 nent light brown or testaceous crests at the apex ; this
