few bristles at the apex of the penultimate joint. Mentum with a 

 pointed tooth in the emargiaation. Surface of the body impunctate. 

 Trachysarus pallipes. (Plate XIII. fig. 6.) 

 Acupalpus pallipes, Germ. An. Univ. Chile, 1855, p. 387. 

 This species, peculiar to the island of Juan Fernandez, was first 

 taken by M. Germain, and described by him as Acupalpus pallipes ■ 

 out, as I have shown, it is not an Acupalpus ; and even if it were the 

 specific : name pallipes was preoccupied by Dejean for a species from 

 IJalmatia. During my visit to Juan Fernandez I took a dozen under 

 stones on the beach. 



Trachysarus antarcticus, n. sp. 



Oblongus, fusco-ameus, nitidus ; antennis, tibiis, tarsis elytro- 

 rumque margme postico et palpis rufo-piceis, his apice pallidis : 

 thorace parvo, quadrate, postice perparum subsinuatim annus- 

 tato, angidis posticis obtusis sed distinctis, foveis basalibus 

 latis, punctulatis ; elytris parallelis, postice vix sinuatis, supra 

 acute stnatis; inter stitiis subplanis, tertio post medium uni- 

 punctato, secundo ad basin dilatato ibique striola brevi. 

 Long. 3 lin. cf $ . 



The male tarsi are only moderately dilated, the joints broad and 

 short, the fourth bilobed, and all densely hairy on the sides with 

 the squamulee irregular. The epistome has two fovese on the sides, 

 meach of which is a sharp line curving to the margin of the eve 

 The antenna are rather long, with the third joint densely pubescent,* 

 and some hairs on the second. The palpi have no short hairs The 

 central tooth of the mentum is short and acute. The scutellar striole 

 is sometimes long, and sometimes reduced to a fovea at the extreme 

 base All the strne are distinct, the seventh, eighth, and ninth 

 much broadened at the apex. 



I took half a dozen specimens of this species in Valdivia. 

 Bradycellus impressifrons, Sol. 1. c. p. 265 {Acupalpus). 

 I am not sure that this species is not a Tachijcellus. The middle 

 tarsi of the male are very slightly dilated, and their fourth joint is 

 broad and subbilobed ; but I cannot detect any squamute on their 

 soles. There is a tooth in the emargination of the mentum ; the 

 thorax has distinct hind angles, and the scutellar striole is absent. 

 From the neighbourhood of Santiago. 



Bradycellus ruficollis, Sol. I. c. p. 267 (Acupalpus). 

 m Closely allied to B. impressifrons, but with the thorax bright red 

 instead of black. I have seen only females. 



Central Chile. 



Bradycellus unistriatus.

I have not seen any Chilian specimens of this species exactly 

 agreeing with Dejean's description, but have taken an in«ect dif- 

 fering only m colour, being of a dark brassy-green hue. It has
