tenuiter punctato-striatis, striis integris, interspatiis minute 

 granulosis, tenuiter ruguloso-strigosis. Long. 2^ hn. 

 Hab. Brazil, New Friburg. 



Thorax scarcely broader than long, sides narrowly margined, 

 straight and parallel, rounded and converging at the apex ; 

 apical margin sinuate on either side, its middle portion produced; 

 basal marghi deeply concave on either side, the medial lobe 

 obtusely rounded ; above finely and distantly punctured, general 

 surface, seen under a deep lens, veiy minutely granulose. Scu- 

 tellum pentangular, the lateral angles rounded, the apical one 

 moderately produced, acute. Elytra rather broader than the 

 thorax ; sides parallel, faintly sinuate in the middle, rounded 

 and couvei'ging from the termination of their middle third to 

 the apex, the extreme af)ices conjointly emarginate ; apical 

 margin finely serrulate ; above finely punctate-striate, the striaj 

 distinct to the apex, interspaces granulose, finely and irregularly 

 strigose. 



Stenispa attenuata, mihi. 



Filiformis, postice attenuata, sub-cylindrica, ol)scure cuprea. 

 uitida, antennis nigris ; thorace tenuiter, sub-remote jnmctato ; 

 elytris ante medium ad apicem attenuatis, tenuiter ptmctato- 

 striatis, striis apicem versus deletis. Long. 2^ hn. 



Hab. Panama. 



Head finely punctiu-ed, fi'ont and upper portion of face 

 impressed with a fine grooved line, Avhich terminates on the 

 vertex in a small fovea ; antennte slender, rather more than a 

 third the length of the body, entirely black. Thorax slightly 

 longer than broad, sides straight, narrowly margined, anterior 

 angles produced, sub-acute ; apical margin slightly sinuate on 

 either side, its middle portion slightly produced ; basal margin 

 deepl}' concave-emarginate on either side, the medial lobe 

 obtusely rounded ; upper sm-face sub-remotely punctixred, the 

 interspaces (seen under a deep lens) very finely granulose- 

 strigose ; on the basal margin on either side the medial lobe, is a 

 small fovea. Scutellmn large, pentagonal, the lateral angles 

 acute. Elytra rather broader at the base than the thorax, sides 

 parallel in front, attenuated from before the middle to the apex, 

 the latter conjointly emarginate, apical margin finely serrulate, 

 the sutural angle armed Avith a minute tooth ; above convex, the 

 humeral callus shghtly thickened, finely punctate-striate, the 

 puncturing entirely obsolete near the apex, interspaces miniitely 

 granulose, here and there faintly reticulate-strigose. Apical 

 segment of abdomen concave-emarginate.
