Erotylus ruhidus, Buj). Erot. 30, T. ii. f. 53. 



Brachyspho&nus - , Lac. Erot. 331. 



Brazil. 



Differs frora B. 6-punctatus by the presence of a coxal line, and 

 by the prosternum being slightly compressed forming a point on 

 the anterior margin. The interstices of the elytra are distinctly 

 punctulate. 



Brachysphoenus flavovittatus. 



Erotylus flavovittatus, Dup. Erot. 30, T. ii. f. 55. 



Brachysphoenus — , Lac. Erot. 339. 



Brazil. 



Coxal line present, thorax with a punctured fovea at the base. 

 The 1st joint of the posterior tarsi does not appear to me shorter 

 than usual, 



Brachysphoenus tenuecinctus. 



Brachysphoenus tenuecinctus, Lac. Erot. 310.

Coxal line very short; head produced, clypeus punctate ; thorax 

 punctulate, base with a few coarser punctures. 



Yar. C07zcent7'ata. Smaller, with the elytra more deeply striate, 

 the spots much paler and smaller, the thorax less foveolate at the 



Brachysphoenus sedecimpustulatus. 



Brachysphoenus \Q-pustulatus, Lac. Erot. 349. 



Amazon (Bates). 



Guerin's type was not in his collection in 1872, and the speci- 

 men from the Amazon has no spots on the thorax, but it agrees in 

 all other respects. 



Brachysphoenus basalis, sp. n. 



B. ] Q-jntstulato affinis, sed elytris singulis linea transversali 

 basali albida nigi-o-ciiicta, maculisque sex albidis late nigro-cinctis. 

 L. 4| lin. 



Amazons (Bates). 



[These 4 species all have the spots arranged in a similar manner 

 and may possibly be varieties; they appear to be rare in collections.]
