174 MR. M. JACOBY ON NEW [Mar. 2, 



This species may be distinguished from H. albofasciatus , Jacoby,by 

 the different shape of the transverse elytral bands, which in H. albo- 

 fasciatus are distinctly curved, by its narrower shape and smaller 

 size, and the greater length of the antennte, and the long third joint 

 of the latter. The thorax also is differently built, and the anterior 

 angles much more advanced. 



Genus (Edionychis, Latreille. 



16. (Edionychis QuiNauEvixxAXA, sp. nov. 



Broadly ovate, convex. Below black, above light fulvou; head 

 antennae, the suture, and two narrow longitudinal stripes on each 

 elytron (one on the disk, the other near the lateral margin) black. 



Length 3 lines. 



Hab. British Honduras. 



Head with a few deep punctures round the inner orbit of the 

 eyes ; encarpee fulvous, but slightly elevated, separated from the 

 head by a transverse groove ; carina distinctly raised and sharp ; 

 anterior margin of labrum and the palpi fulvous ; antennae black, 

 apex of the first three joints fulvous, fourth and fifth joints the 

 longest, of equal length. Thorax transverse, sides rounded and 

 rather broadly flattened ; anterior angles slightly produced outwards ; 

 surface impunctate, fulvous, irregularly spotted with piceous. Scu- 

 tellum black. Elytra a little widened behind the middle, convex at 

 their posterior half, closely and distinctly punctate, light fulvous; 

 the suture, a narrow stripe at the disk abbreviated near the apex, 

 and another one near the extreme lateral margin, joined at the apex 

 with the sutural one, black ; ioflexed limb of the elytra fulvous 

 outwardly, black inwardly. Underside and legs black, strongly 

 punctured; the outer margins of the abdominal segments and the 

 underside of the tarsi fulvous.

 Salvin and Jacoby. 



17, (Edionychis ornata, sp. uov. 



Broadly ovate, convex. Fulvous ; a longitudinal spot at the base 

 of the head ; the anterior legs and antennae black ; elytra testa- 

 ceous, the suture, lateral margin, and a longitudinal stripe abbrevi- 

 ated at the apex, on the disk of each elytron, deep black.

Hab. Capetillo, Guatemala. 



Head with a few punctures near the eyes, fulvous ; encarpae 

 slightly raised, piceous ; carina indistinct ; base of head with a short 

 longitudinal black stripe ; antennae with the third and fourth joints 

 of equal length, the rest robust. Thorax of nearly equal width, 

 sides broadly flattened, anterior angles obtuse ; disk minutely punc- 

 tured, with seven rather Indistinct piceous spots (3. 4). Scutellum 

 black. Elytra convex, closely and strongly punctured, pale testa- 

 ceous ; a narrow sutural and lateral stripe joined at the apex, and
