DionycJius conciliatus. 



D. oblongo-obovatus, niger, supra griseo-sqiiamosus ; elytris singu- 

 latim iiiieis quiuque elevatis, nitide nigris, denudatis, aliis qua- 

 tuor leviter graniilatis iustructis. Long. 8 lin. 



Hah. Brazil. 



Oblong-obovate, black, with pale greyish scales ; rostrum 

 as long- as the prothorax, carinate, and closely punctured 

 throughout ; antennae pitchy, setulose ; first joint of the 

 funicle as long as the three following together j prothorax 

 sliglitly broader than long, finely granulate, the intervals 

 covered with minute greyish scales ; scutellum slightly trans- 

 verse, convex, finely punctured ; elytra gradually narrowing 

 from the base, each with five lines, smooth, glossy black, 

 densely scaly between, but with a finely granulated line par- 

 tially dividing the scaly portion ; body beneath and legs fur- 

 nished with greyish setulas, on the latter more dispersed. 



Allied to D. jyaralMogrammuSj but differing principally in 

 the elytra, which have, including the outer margin, only 

 five raised lines on each instead of ten ; the granulated lines, 

 confined to the basal half of the elytra, may be considered 

 the representatives of the uniform lines present in the former 

 species. 



Conotrachelus exiniius. 



C. ovatus, nitide fuseus, supra lineis annulisque silaceo-squamosis 

 oruatus ; elytris niodice convexis, sat fortiter striato-punctatis ; 

 femoribus (basi apiceque nigris exceptis) luteis. Long. -4 lin.

 elongate, second longest, the rest turbinate ; club ovate, dis- 

 tinctly four-jointed ; eyes nearly meeting beneath ; prothorax 

 narrowed anteriorly, the sides of the posterior half parallel, 

 irregularly and closely punctured, a looped line posteriorly 

 prolonged into a single one on each side ; scutellum oblong, 

 elevated ; elytra nearly twice as broad as the prothorax at 

 the base, seriate-punctate, punctures rather coarse, an irre- 

 gular ring on each shoulder, another close to the apex, between

 mesosternum elevated, triangular ; second abdominal segment
