412 ox NEW AMBRKJAN PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTEKA. [DeC. 13, 



which I must separate from 0. luridus 01. and 0. simjilex Clark, 

 of which I have compared the types in the British Museum. 

 The head and thorax diffei- in coloration from these, the head in 

 the present species having no fovea at the centre, the anterior 

 angles of the thorax are dentifoi^m and produced, not obsolete as 

 in 0. simplex, and the general size is much smallei'. 



Crepidodera longicornis, sp. n. 



Oblong-ovate, black, the basal joints of the antennse and the 

 legs fulvous; thoi'ax subquadrate, minutely punctured, deeply 

 sulcate ; elytra convex, finely punctate-striate ; antennfe very long ; 

 legs I'obust. 



Length 4 millim. 



Of lu'oadly ovate shape, the head impunctate, black; frontal eleva- 

 tions broad, trigonate, strongly raised ; clypeus convex between the 

 antennfe, its anterior margin of the shape of a semicircular ridge ; 

 antennae nearly extending to the apex of the elytra, black, the 

 lower three joints fulvous, the third joint longer than the others, 

 basal joint thickened, elongate-cylindi-ical, terminal joint about 

 as long as the third ; thorax convex, but slightly broader than 

 long, the sides rounded at the middle, the angles not pi-oduced, 

 the disc microscopically punctured, with a deep transverse sulcus 

 near the base, bounded at the sides by a perjDendicular groove ; 

 elytia widei- at the base than the thorax, Avidened towards the 

 middle, with a distinct basal transverse depression, the shoulders 

 prominent, the surface finely punctate-striate, black and shining, 

 the interstices flat ; legs robust and short, fulvous, all the femora 

 thickened, the tibiiie strongly widened at the apex, the first joint 

 of the tarsi broadly flattened. 



Hah. Peru. 



I know only a single specimen of this species, which, by its 

 robust legs, the long antennfe, and general coloration, is w^ell dis- 

 tinguished. In the last respect, the species resembles evidently 

 C. peruviana Harold (Deutsche ent. Zeitsch. 1877, p. 130), but 

 it is much larger, the antennae are difierently coloured, and the 

 elytral punctuation is distinct to the apex. 



HiPPURIPHILA CATHARINE, Sp. n. 



Black below, above greenish-seneous, the basal joints of the 

 antennfe fulvous ; thorax very strongly punctured, with a feeble 

 transverse sulcus ; elytra strongly punctate-striate, the base with 

 a transverse depression. 



Length 2 millim. 



Short, convex, and ovate ; the head impunctate, eeneous, a single 

 punctiform impression above each eye, the latter rather large, 

 from the upper margins of which a deep narrow groove extends 

 obliquely to the base of the antennae, both grooves meeting at the 

 centre ; clypeus convex between the antennse, widened anteriorly ;
