by the strongly punctured thorax in connexion with the raised basal 

 portion of the elytra and the flavous antennae and le^s. 



Epitrix venezuelensis, n. sp. 



Elytra flavous ; thorax transversely subquadrate, the basal siilcation 

 deep and finely punctured ; elytra with the basid portion slightly 

 raised, distinctly punctate-striate, the punctures distinct to the apex. 



Length 1 line. 



Head impunctate, the frontal elevations rather obsolete, elongate ; 

 antennas more than half the length of the body, entirely flavous, 

 the terminal joints gradually thickened ; thorax about one half 

 broader than long, the sides straight, slightly narrowed towards the 

 base, the basal margin moderately produced at the middle ; the disk 

 not visibly punctured, except below the basal sulcation, which latter 

 runs parallel with the posterior margin ; elytra with the basal portion 

 slightly raised, the punctures very distinct to the apex, each puncture 

 surrounded by a piceous ring. 



Colouia Tovar ; two specimens. 



E. venezuelensis stems closely allied to E. Jlavicolu, Har., from 

 Colombia, but that species is described as having an entirely smooth 

 thorax and the elytra without raised basfil portion and their punctua- 

 tion invisible below the middle ; both species agree, however, in the 

 entirely flavous colour.
