3. Epoprervs LINEOGUTTATUS. (Plate XVII. fig. 7.) 
Ovatus, rufo-piceus, nitidus ; elytris pallide flavis,sutura margin ibus- 
que lateralibus piceis, puncto humerali, lineolisque septem in 
singulis, 3, 3, 1, saturate piceis ; antennis nigris, articulis tribus 
basalibus rufis. Long. 6 millim. 3. 
Mas. Tibiis anticis interne sat fortiter incurvatis, ad apicem com- 
pressis. 
Hab. Amazon (H. W. Bates). 
Head, thorax, underside, and margins of the elytra rather light 
pitchy red ; punctuation of the thorax and elytra as in Z. ephippiger, 
distinct. The curious marking of the elytra consists of a humeral 
small dot, two elongate dashes near the suture, two shorter ones in 
the middle of the disk, two still smaller near the margin above the 
middle, and one small one near the apex. These dashes are not 
placed regularly, but the three near the base form a sort of fascia, 
as do the three below the middle. The scutellum is pitchy black. 
One small example. 
Sau, Gerst.

Several specimens met with by Mr. Lewis, two of which were 
found in copula, present no appreciable distinction between the 
sexes. 
STENOTARSUS. 
1. SteNnoTaRsus VALLATUs, Gerst. Mon. p. 342. 
Four specimens which I identify with this species were obtained 
by Mr. Lewis in Ceylon at Dickoya. The antenne are clear red; 
the series of punctures are more regular and not so coarse as in 
S. russatus. 
2. STENOTARSUS RUsSATUs, Gorh. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1874, p- 446. 
One specimen met with by Mr. Lewis fully confirms my opinion 
as to the distinctness of this species, and I would only remark, in 
addition to the characters already given, that the raised thoracic 
margin has its surface distinctly flat in both species, indeed the edges 
of this margin are themselves raised, so that concave is the correct 
term. The dark, stout, and gradually thickened antenne will easily 
prevent this being confounded with S. vallatus. 
3. STENOTARSUS SICARIUS. 
Ater, valde convexus, pubescens ; elytris basi thorace latioribus, 
distincte punctato-striatis ; thoracis margine laterali deplanato, 
haud bene elevato, antrorsum subito latiore. Long. 3 millim. 
Hab. Ceylon (Lewis). 
At once distinguished from any other Stenotarsus known to me 
by its entirely black colour. It is allied to S. vallatus and 8S. rus- 
satus; but the form is different, the elytra suddenly widening from
