Mr. F. P. Pascoe on new Neotrojjical Carcalionidce. 41 



Glossy brown, sparingly furnished with minute scales, each 

 elytron with a reddish-yellow or luteous stripe interrupted in 

 the middle, the side broadly margined with the like colour ; 

 rostrum slightly angular on each side, the central canal not 

 extending beyond the middle ; antennae piceous, slender ; 

 funicle with all the joints very long, the second three times 

 as long as the first ; club not so long as the two preceding 

 together ; eyes very prominent ; prothorax very transverse, 

 finely punctured, canaliculate ; scutellum triangular ; elytra 

 convex, shoulders somewhat angular, the apex produced and 

 narrowly rounded, scutellar border elevated, striate-punctate, 

 punctures transverse, interstices narrow ; body beneath pitchy 

 brown ; fore legs rol3Ust, their coxte not contiguous. 



This species belongs to Schonherr's first Stirps j but I have 

 not seen any thing which can be called an ally.

Brown, inclining to pitchy, with a thin greyish indumen- 

 tum and a few black seta3 ; the sides of the prothorax and 

 elytra, the anterior margin of the former, and a stripe on each of 

 the latter (connected by a cross band at the base with its 

 fellow) a rich sulphur-yellow ; rostrum rather narrow, concave 

 above ; antenna3 slender, second joint of the funicle twice as 

 long as the first, the third shorter than the fourth, the seventh 

 as broad at the apex as the club, the latter slender, acumi- 

 nate ; prothorax transverse, the sides rounded, finely granu- 

 late above ; scutellum scutiform ; elytra ( (^ ) scarcely broader 

 than the prothorax at the base, narrowly rounded at the apex, 

 irregularly and finely punctate-striate 5 body beneath with a 

 sulphur-yellow pubescence ; legs ferruginous, the anterior 

 robust, with their tibi^ and tarsi pitchy. 



The sulphur markings are composed of a compact mass of 

 indumentum mixed with hairs. I believe this species is 

 iV^. hivittatus of Dejean's Catalogue.
