456 Dr. G. A. K. Marshall on 
declivity, which may be broken up into two or more patches ; 
and, finally, three contiguous spots at the apex of intervals 
3, O; amd. 
?. Head with the front margin of the ocular orbit deeply 
impressed, the width of the forehead a little greater than the 
length of the eyes, which are not very prominent, the fore- 
head level with the vertex. ostrum longer than broad, the 
sides parallel from the base to the middle, the genze strongly 
dilated, the inter-scrobal area much less widened than usual, 
its margins almost straight, the scrobe distinetly longer than 
the space between the scrobe and the eye, the median dorsal 
area almost flat as far as the apical slope. Antenne with the 
scape subcylindrical and rather strongly curved, the sete 
obliquely raised; the funicle with joint 2 much longer than 1, 
3a little longer than 4, 4 to 7 subequal; the club compara- 
tively large, as long as the three preceding joints. Pro- 
thorax about as long as broad, the sides subparallel from the 
base to the middle, thence gradually narrowed to the apex, 
the subapical constriction very slight; the upper surface 
apparently quite smooth, no trace of the sculpture being 
appreciable through the scaling.  Sceutellum subquadrate, 
slightly elevated. lytra distinctly broader proportionately 
than in the other species, the basal margin jointly sinuate, 
the apices obtuse and slightly separate, the humeral slope 
running straight to the basal angle, the sides slightly sinuate 
behind the shoulders and somewhat widened behind the 
middle ; the upper surface slightly flattened in the middle of 
the disk, the shallow sulci containing remote punctures, which 
are not entirely filled up by the scaling; all the intervals 
costate, especially in the posterior half, 3, 5, and 7 being 
distinctly more raised than the others; the sete for the most 
part dark and recumbent, forming a single row on the lower 
intervals, and more numerous on the higher, the longitudinal 
space between them being usually little greater than the 
length of the sete. Legs with pale scaling and a dark pre- 
apical spot on the posterior pairs of femora; the front 
femora with a very small tooth. 
Length 9-10, breadth 44-5 mm. 
VENEZUELA. 
Eustylus bodkini, sp. n. 
Colour black, with chalky-white scaling ; the prothorax 
with three broad, pale brown stripes ; the elytra with a narrow, 
common, V-shaped, brown mark at the top of the declivity,- 
distinct as far as interval 3, thence much more faint and bent 
forwards for a short distance along interval 5.
