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



is connected with a larger or smaller irregularly-shaped elongate 

 apical spot near the suture, which in some specimens is almost obso- 

 lete ; besides these bauds two small black spots are placed near the 

 lateral margins, one at the shoulder and the other immediately 

 below it. Upper surface of the femora and tibiae marked with a 

 black line. 



This rather peculiarly-shaped species may be easily recognized by 

 the short antennae, the apical joints of which are distinctly transverse. 



In my collection.

21. (Edionychis OBScuRiPENNis, sp. nov. (Plate XVIII. fig. 6.) 



Broadly ovate, widened behind, convex. Black ; above obscure

Length ^^-'^^ lines. 



Hab. Chanchamayo, Peru. 



Head smooth, impunctate, longitudinally grooved ; encarpae and

 the surface closely covered with distinct punctures, light brown, 

 intermixed with lighter roundish spots, giving the surface a rather 

 mottled appearance. Underside, with the exception of the thorax,
