182 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on new Neotropical CurcuUonidce. 



lum distinetum. Elytra breviuseula, prothorace multo latiora. 

 Propectus profunde incisus. Mesostemum subtrilobatum. Ab- 

 domen segmentis tribus intermcdiis extus angulatis, tertio quar- 

 toque brevioribus. Pedes mediocres ; coxce anticae contiguae. 

 femora crassinscula, infra dentata; tibiae flexuosee, apice un- 

 guiculatae ; tarsi articulo ultimo elongato ; ungues bifidi. 



With some hesitation I place this genus in Lacordaire's 

 " groupe Gentrinides.^ Like Scambus it has the anterior 

 coxa? contiguous ; and the bifid claws are common to several 

 Centring in which, however, the character becomes of rather 

 secondary value. The specific name is in allusion to the four 

 little white prominences at the base of the elytra. 



Glycaria tetrasticta, 



G. ovalis, fusca, albo varia ; prothorace elytrisque tuberculatis. 

 Long. 1| lin. 



Hah. Brazil. 



Ovate, pitchy brown ; head, rostrum, prothorax, four tuber- 

 cles at thejbase of the elytra and the apex closely covered with 

 small white scales ; rostrum stout, compressed, and strongly 

 curved at the base, broader towards the tip ; antenna? ferru- 

 ginous, the first joint of the funicle stouter than the others, 

 club oblong, distinct ; prothorax parallel at the sides, con- 

 tracted anteriorly, two small tubercles at the apex and two in 

 the middle, the base bisinuate ; scutellum ovate ; elytra mode- 

 rately convex, subseriate-punctate, four oblong flattish tuber- 

 cles at the base and two larger, elevated, compressed, on the 

 third interstice, the fifth and seventh also more or less elevated 

 or unequal, apex rounded ; body beneath glossy brown, with 

 scattered, whitish scales ; femora varied with white 5 tibia? 

 and tarsi ferruginous, basal joint of the latter nearly as long 

 as the two next together.

Rostrum validum, arcuatum ; scrobes apicales. Antennae crassius- 

 culae, funiculi articulis duobus basalibus subaaqualibus, casteris 

 transversis, clava distincta. Prothorax latitudine paulo longior, 

 ad latera rotundatus. Elytra oblonga, protboracis basi paulo 

 latiora, humeris rotundatis. Propectus profunde incisum. Me- 

 sostemum subtriangulare, elevatum. Abdomen segmentis inter-

Although this differs from the following genus in the most 

 important characters of a deeply incised propectus and bifid
