178 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on new Neotropical Curcutionidce. 



strongly marked conical tubercle, inclining outwards ; distal 

 half of the anterior tibia and their tarsi, and the intermediate 

 and posterior legs, reddish testaceous. 



Differs from T. fimbriatus in the sculpture, form of the 

 elytra, and particularly in the two diverging tubercles. 



Camptochirus ornatus. 



C. subovaliSj l?,tiusculus, rufo-fuscus : elytris plagis duabus ocbra- 

 ceis albo-marginatis, una rotundata basali, altera irfegulari api- 

 cali, ornatis ; rostrn modice robusto ; scutello transverse Long. 

 Slim.

Suboval, rather broad and depressed, chocolate-brown, with 

 two large ochraceous spots, margined with white, on the 

 elytra — the one rounded, basal, nearly enclosing the scutellum, 

 the other apical and irregular or constricted in the middle ; 

 rostrum robust, slightly curved, scarcely as long as the pro- 

 thorax, and sharply carinate at the base ; antennas brown, 

 the funicle not longer than the club, the last five joints very 

 transverse ; prothorax rather longer than broad, narrowed 

 anteriorly, granulate-punctate, a triangular ochreous spot at 

 the base; scutellum transverse, rounded behind; elytra much 

 broader than the prothorax, the sides subparallel, rounded 

 posteriorly, striate, covered with a short thick tomentum ; 

 beneath dark brown, the sides of the thorax closely covered 

 with ochreous hairs. 



This and the next species will form a distinct section of 

 the genus, characterized by the short broad elytra, without 

 tubercles. 



Camptochirus abstersus. 



C. subovalis, brevis, fere omnino castaneo-fuscus ; rostro tenuiorc ; 

 scutello cordato. Long. 3| lin. 



Hab. Para. 



Shorter than the preceding and proportionally broader, 

 dark chestnut, but lighter at the base and along the sutural 

 region of the elytra ; rostrum rather slender and nearly 

 straight, slightly carinate at the base ; funicle and club 

 short ; prothorax covered above with a dense tomentum, the 

 sides bare and punctured ; scutellum small, cordate ; elytra 

 brooder than the prothorax, oblique at the shoulders, the 

 sides subparallel, the apex broadly rounded, sulcate ; inter- 

 stices flattened ; body beneath and legs sparsely hairy ; tarsi 

 fulvous.
