Erotylidcr from Santo Domingo. 149 



impresso, subtiliter parcissime punctulato ; elytris ochra- 

 ceis, pimctis majoribus nigris irregulariter impressis, apice 

 ipso nigro. L. c. 9^ lin. 



Allied to C. stiUatm, Kirsch (Beii. Ent. Zeit. ix., p. 100), 

 from Bogota, but with smaller punctures on the elytra. 

 The male has thickened femora and an anal tuft. 



24. Cyphcrotylus Jansoni, sp. nov. 



C. Goryi simillimus, et forte ejus mera varietas geo- 

 graphica. Differt tantum elytris fere immaculatis, fascia 

 media tantum maculis 2 parvis indicata. L. c. 11| lin. 



ZONARIUS {Hope), Lac. Mon. Erot., p. 468 (1842). 

 (Type X. xanthomelas, Lac.) 



Hope's genus contained the species now referred to 

 it, but his characters were taken from a Pencil csfhes ; it is 

 doubtful, therefore, whether his name ought to be allowed 

 to stand. 



It is closely allied to EroUjlus, but the rostrum is longer 

 an:d more narroAved at the base. It is confined to Mexico 

 and Central and South America. 



25. Zonarius Jansoni, sp. nov. 



Z. zebrm affinis, sed elytris fascia prima utrinque abbre- 

 viata (macula oblonga formante), fascia secunda augustiore, 

 ad suturam interrupta, postice paulo lobata differt. L. c. 

 5 lin. 



This adds another to the little group of species allied to 

 Z. zebra. 



SCAPHIDOMOEPHUS (Hope), Eev. Zool. 1841, p. 111. 



(Type Chrysom. quinqxie-punctata, Linn.) 



This differs but little from Zonarius, yet it is easy to 

 recognize it by the shape of the thorax, the emargination 

 being circular as in Mcgap)rotus.
