156 MR. H. W. BATES ON COLEOPTERA [Feb. 20, 
Fam. BRENTHIDA. 
EcTroceMUS RUFICAUDA, n. sp. (Plate XXV. fig. 5.) 
3. Niger, nitidus, subtus (prosterni lateribus exceptis) antennis 
et pedibus castaneo-rujis, elytris maculis vitteformibus utrinque 
quinque apiceque late castaneo-fulvis; rostro opaco, supra 
suleato, parte basali cylindrica asperiter granulosa, parte 
anteriore medio fortiter constricta, apice triangulari, margini- 
bus reflexis serratis ; antennis omnino strigosis. 
Long. 17 lin. 
This species so nearly resembles LZ. pterygorhinus (Gestro) of 
Cape York, Australia, that I have some hesitation in describing it as 
distinct. The differentiating characters, however, seem to be of the 
same kind and degree as those which suffice to distinguish most 
other species of the group. The most conspicuous points of dif- 
ference reside in the elytral markings, the linear pale spots in the 
present species consisting of (1) on the second interstice a longer 
line at the base and a shorter one towards the apex, (2) on the third 
interstice a line of moderate length exactly in the middle, (3) on the 
fifth a very short line considerably behind the middle, and (4) on 
the seventh a short line not far behind the shoulder. Besides these 
pale marks, the whole of the apex of the elytra is reddish, a feature 
which I do not observe in the characters of any other described 
species.
