338 MR. A. MURRAY'S MONOGRAPH OF THE FAMILY OF NITIDULARLE. 
distinctly covered with scattered large punctures shorter and apparently broader than 
usual. 
I have seen only a single specimen, from Brazil, in Prof. Boheman's collection. 
10. CoNOTELUS LUTEICORNIS. 
Erichs. in Germ. Zeitschr. iv. 254 (1843). 
Niger, nitidulus, parcius punctulatus, elytris subtiliter punctato-striatis, interstitiis sub- 
levibus, pedibus testaceis. Long. 1j lin., lat. 5 lin. 
Habitat in Brasilia. 
Black, somewhat shining. Antenne testaceous, with the club black, the first article 
piceous. Head sparingly punctate, bifoveolate in front. Thorax sparsely punctate, with 
the sides very faintly rugulose. Scutellum very faintly sparingly punctate, rounded at 
the apex. Elytra neatly and faintly punctate-striate, the striæ becoming obsolete at the 
apex, the interstices having a leathery appearance, sparingly and obsoletely punctulated. 
Legs testaceous. 
From Brazil. 
11. CoNoTELUS STENOIDES. 
C. humeralis (Motsch.). 
Elongatus, angustatus, subdepressus, opacus, punctatus, fusco pubescens, niger ; antennis 
testaceis, clava ferrugineo-testacea; pedibus testaceis; thorace lateribus sub lente 
forte serratis; elytris tenuissime seriatim punctatis et subcostatis ; abdomine angus- 
tato, fimbriis elevatis. Long. 13-2 lin., lat. 2 lin. 
Habitat in America centrali. 
Long, narrow, slender, subdepressed, very opaque, black or brown-black, granularly 
and variolosely punctate, and fusco-pubescent. Antennz testaceous, with the club large, 
oblong, piceo- or ferrugineo-testaceous. Mouth piceous. Head very finely subrugosely 
punctate, the punctures, although very small, still more variolose than sharp, slightly 
depressed on each side of the epistome, which is rather prominent. "Thorax subquadrate, 
about as broad as long, a little narrower behind than in front, scarcely emarginate in 
front; the sides nearly straight, slightly narrowed in front and obliquely cut off behind, 
the angle at which they turn in very obtuse, rounded; anterior angles nearly right- 
angled, very slightly obtuse; posterior angles apparently very obtuse; disk somewhat 
convex, with slight irregular depressions, sides slightly expanded and canaliculate: the 
margins, under the microscope, are seen to be more or less jagged or serrated, more 
coarsely punctate and pubescent than the head, the pubescence lying from the sides 
transversely towards the middle, and the punctures faintly variolose. Scutellum trans- 
verse, broad, truncate, punctate and pubescent as on the thorax. Elytra wider and about 
a half longer than the thorax, with what appears to be a series of very slender raised 
lines, between which is another less raised line. These are, however, caused by the 
pubescence running in lines. If it is scraped off, the coste disappear or nearly so. 
Between them is a series of variolose punctures (eight rows in all), and the general tex-
