Genus GRAMMOPHORUS (ypauun, a line; $opóc bearer: referring to the raised lines 
on the thorax). 
Corpus subdepressum, parum pubescens, sat nitidum. Caput latum, mandibula sinistra apice bifida, 
dextra acutissima. Antenne quam in Brachypeplidis ceteris longiores, pilose, clava oblongo-ovata. 
Prothorax transverso-quadratus, marginibus lateribus breviter ciliatis, disco lineis elevatis levibus 
instructus. Scutellum magnum, acute triquetrum. Elytra segmenti abdominalis tertii basin. obte- 
gentia. Abdominis segmenta duo prima abbreviata. Tibiz antice  armatz, posteriores margine 
externo spinulose. 
Body subdepressed, slightly pubescent, rather shining. Head broad; mandibles on the 
left side with the apex bifid, on the right side with the apex very acute. Antenne 
longer than in the allied species of Brachypeplus, pilose, and with the club oblong-ovate. 
Prothorax transversely quadrate, with the sides shortly ciliated along the margin, and 
bearing some smooth raised lines on the disk. Scutellum large, sharply triquetral. 
Elytra covering the base of the third abdominal segment. Abdomen with the first two 
segments short. Anterior tibiae armed; the posterior spinulose on the posterior exterior 
margin. 
I owe the description of this genus and species to my friend Professor Gerstücker, of 
the University of Berlin. 
GRAMMOPHORUS CJELATUS (Mus. Berol.). 
Breviusculus, fere parallelus, subdepressus, nitidulus, parce flavescenti-sericeus, rufo- 
ferrugineus, capite, antennarum basi elytrorumque dimidio apicali piceis; capite 
prothoraceque fortiter punctatis, hoc lineis quatuor discalibus levibus instructo; 
elytris regulariter Veto Austin, stris subsulcatis, interstitiis uniseriatim punc- 
tatis. Long. 14 lin., lat. vix 4 lin. 
Habitat in Columbia. 
Rather short, almost parallel, subdepressed, somewhat shining, sparingly clothed 
with a silky flavescent pubescence, rufo-ferruginous, the head, the base of the antenn:e, 
and the apical half of the elytra piceous. The head rufo-piceous, strongly but sparsely 
punctate, behind deeply constricted, smooth behind the stricture; the mandibles rufous.
