the preceding joints. Syntaphocerus has foveiform nearly 
contiguous scrobes. ‘This species differs from its congeners 
in the characters of its prothorax and coloration. 
LIXODES. 
Rostrum arcuatum, apicem versus subdilatatum; scrobes anteme- ~ 
diane, laterales. Antenne breviuscule, funiculo articulo basali 
elongato, ceteris gradatim brevioribus; clava ovata. Ocul late- 
rales, subrotundati, tenuiter granulati. Prothorax transversus, 
lobis ocularibus ciliatis. Scutellum punctiforme. Llytra elongata, 
prothorace haud latiora. Pedes breviusculi; femora antica lon- 
giora, infra, atque intermedia, dente parvulo instructa; tibice 
curvate, apice bicalcarate, intermedi et postice: apicem versus 
fimbriatee ; ¢ars? articulo basali triangulari, penultimo late bilobo ; 
unguiculr liberi ; coae antice haud contigue. Sterna depressa. 
Abdomen segmento secundo duobus sequentibus longiore. 
An anomalous form, not suggesting an affinity with any 
species known tome; in contour it resembles a Lizus (e. g. L. 
anguinus). In the elytra not broader than the prothorax at 
the base it agrees with Pelzobia, another peculiar form which 
I also place in the Erirhinine. 
Lixodes teniatus. (Pl. XVIII. fig. 8.) 
ZL. elongatus, paulo depressus, brunneus, lineis albo-squamosis notatis.

Hab. Monte Video. 
Elongate, slightly depressed, reddish brown, the prothorax 
and elytra with lines of whitish scales; rostrum slender, half 
as long again as the prothorax, the basal half punctured on 
each side of a median glabrous line; antenne smooth, first 
joint of the funicle as long as the three next together; pro- 
thorax finely punctured, four white lines (two middle abbre- 
viated) above; scutellum smooth; elytra more than three 
times as long as the prothorax, each pointed at the apex and 
having five lines, the one near the suture shortest, all, except 
the third, united at the apex (the figure is not quite accurate, 
the inner white line being represented as bordering the suture) ; 
beneath closely covered with whitish scales. 
ERGANIA. 
Rostrum longum, cylindricum, arcuatum ; scrobes laterales, postmedi- 
ane. Antenne breviuscule ; funiculus 7-articulatus, art. ultimo 
clava arcte connexa. Prothorax subtriangularis, basi bisinuatus. 
Scutellum parvum. lytra subcordata, prothorace latiora, hume- 
ris rotundatis. Pedes validi; femora clayata, infra dentata ;
