500 (124) Mr. G. R. Crotch's Revision of 

 C. Elytra gemellate 2:)unctate-striate. 



Brachysphosnus porcellana. 



Brack i/sphoenus porcellana, Lac. Erot. 300. 



Cayenne. 



Thorax semicixcularly emarginate in front; prosternum com- 

 pressed into an acute ridge, pointed in front, broad and sliglitly 

 emarginate behind, with no sutures visible; sides of metasteruum 

 deeply punctate; posterior tarsi long; no coxal lines. 



Brachysplicenus orphanulus.* ^ 



Brachysphmms orphanuJus, Lac. Erot. 307. 

 Cayenne. 



Brachysphcenus manicatus.* 



Brachysphosnus manicatus, Lac. Erot. 312. 



Columbia. 



This is very near uEyithus ; the intermediate coxal line is 

 complete, the posterior absent; the strife of the elytra are closely 

 approximate, leaving broad smooth interstices. 



Brachysphcenus annulatus. 



Erotylus annulatus, Germ. N. Ins. Sp. 613. 



Brachysphosnus — , Lac. Erot. 330. 



Brazil. 



Prosternum broad behind, ratlier deeply emarginate; no coxal 

 lines; thorax almost seniicircularly emarginate in front; antennas 

 with a 3 jointed club. 



Brachysphcenus conspersus. 



Erotylus comp)ersus, Dup. Erot. 28. T. ii. f. 48. 



Brachysphcenus — , Lac. Erot. 342. 



Brazil. 



This species is certainly closely allied to B. annulatus: the 

 antenuoe are elongate with a 3-jointed club; the intermediate 

 coxal line is present, but abbreviated; the thorax is semicircularly 

 emarginate in front. 



Brachysphcenus epigraphus, sp. n. 



Rufo-testaceus, oblongo-ovatus, nitidus, clypeo p\inctato ; 

 thorace convexo, lateribus rotundatis, vix punctato, nigro-signato; 

 scutello nigro ; elytris flavo-testaceis, gemellato-])unctato-striatis, 

 interstitiis punctis paucis, confuse nigro-signatis, L. 4^1ui. 



Amazons (Bates).
