M. elongata, cylindrica, testacea; oculis, antennarum articulis 3-12,

More elongate and cylindrical than the preceding, the elytra — 
less convex, parallel for four-fifths of their length, more broadly 
rounded, and less suddenly deflexed posteriorly. Punctuation — 
similar, but somewhat coarser ; the interstices less conspicuous, — 
except towards the costated apex. Eyes large and prominent. 
Uniformly reddish testaceous, the elytra paler and yellowish. 
Each elytron with two circular black spots, the anterior and — 
larger situated near the base, equidistant from the suture and — 
the outer margin; the other behind the middle, at the distance ~ 
of two-thirds from the exterior margin, and one-third from the — 
suture.

Metaxyonycha Tejucana, sp. ined. 
M. maxima, castanea; oculis, mandibulis apice, antennarum articulis — 
4-12, tibiis extremis, tarsis nigris: oculis intus emarginatis; 
thorace mutico; elytris 8-costatis, inter costas seriatim punctatis; 
tibiis intermediis fortiter emarginatis. 
Long. lin. 7, lat. hum. 23 lin. 
‘Cognate with M. tricolor: front marked as in that species, 
with the addition of an impressed line upon the vertex, reaching 
the interocular fovea. Head and thorax with scattered punc- 
tures ; the latter subquadrate, as broad in front as behind, mo- 
derately rounded at the sides, where it is broadly margined ; 
only slightly convex, truncate anteriorly and at the base. Elytra 
broader than the thorax, more than four times its length, with — 
eight smooth coste visible from the base to the apex. The 
humeral callus shining and prominent. The fifth, sixth, and 
eighth coste reach the callus, the seventh is abbreviated ante- — 
riorly. All the cost are more distinct towards the sides and 
apex. Interstices punctate-striate, the punctures in single rows” 
near the suture, afterwards doubled, tripled, and finally confused — 
in the lateral spaces. Entirely castaneous, beneath paler ; tibie 
darker, blackish at the apex. 
It strongly resembles Colaspis acuminipennis, Blanch., figured — 
in D’Orbigny’s ‘ Voyage,’ pl. 24. fig. 10. y 
Brought from Tejuca, Brazil, by the Rev. H. Clark.
