69. CARPOPHILUS TRUNCATUS (Klug). 
(C. Madagascariensis (Dup.).) 
C. dimidiato affinis; parum latior; niger, punctatus, cinereo pubescens; thorace fortiter 
punctato, elytris thorace vix longioribus, pedibus piceis. Long. 1j lin., lat. $ lin. 
Var. Elytris piceis, humeris dilutioribus. 
Habitat in Madagascaria. 
Allied to C. dimidiatus; a little broader and wholly black ; punctate, cinereo-pubescent. 
Thorax more deeply punctate than the elytra, the punctures variolose, with a short 
impunctate dorsal line before the scutellum; the posterior angles less obtuse than in 
C. dimidiatus, almost right angles. Elytra very little longer than the thorax; the 
shoulders sometimes paler. Abdomen rather convex. 
From Madagascar. 
70. CARPOPHILUS NEPOS. 
C. dimidiato valde affinis; minor, nigro-fuscus; elytris thorace longioribus, luteo-tes- 
taceis, lateribus et apice nigro-fuscis ; abdominis segmentis expositis brevibus. Long. 
1 lin., lat. + lin. 
Habitat in Brasilia. 
Very like C. dimidiatus. Yt is smaller; the two segments of the abdomen which are 
exposed are shorter than in it; the elytra about a third longer than the thorax, while in 
C. dimidiatus they are only very slightly longer; it is testaceous, with the margins and 
apex blackish brown. 
Brazil. In the collection of Professor Boheman. 
71. CARPOPHILUS SCHIOÜDTEI. 
Parvus, oblongus, parallelus, convexus, subnitidus, punctatus, leviter pubescens, ferru-

1 lin., lat. 4 lin. 
Habitat in Pulo Milu. 
. Small, oblong, parallel, convex, punctate, somewhat shining and very slightly pubescent, 
ferrugineo-piceous ; elytra testaceous, with the apex piceous black. Below ferruginous. 
Head punctate, with an impression on each side at the base of the epistome (which is 
prominent) ferruginous, with the centre of the forehead piceo-ferruginous. Eyes large ; 
antenn:z ferruginous. Thorax transverse, sides declinate, very little rounded at the 
margin, anterior angles nearly right angles, very little obtuse, the point of the angle not 
sharp, posterior angles rounded, apex bisinuate, base straight, truncate; piceo-ferrugi- 
nous, disk darker than the sides. Scutellum subpentagonal, rounded at the apex, ferru- 
gineo-piceous, impunctate, except very slightly at the base. Elytra nearly parallel, a 
little widest past the middle, about a half longer than the thorax, slightly declinate at 
the sides and somewhat depressed towards the suture, testaceous, with the apex for about 
a fifth of the length black; each elytron obliquely truncate at the apex; exterior apical
