402 MR. MARTIN JACOBY ON NEW SPECIES | Nov. 28, 
Length 7 millim. 
Head entirely impunctate, very light testaceous; eyes well 
separated, moderately large, frontal elevations narrowly transverse ; 
antenne slender, black, the apical two joints sometimes pale, the 
third and fourth equal; thorax with broadly rounded and flattened 
sides, the sulci strongly marked, the dise impunctate, testaceous, 
with the anterior and posterior margins black at the middle, the 
anterior angles not mucronate but slightly produced; scutellum 
more or less fuscous; elytra rather convex, very closely and finely 
punctured ; the breast, tibize, and tarsi more or less piceous; the 
metatarsus distinctly elongate, the claw-joint strongly swollen. 
Hab. Bolivia. 
This species may easily be mistaken for one of the varieties of 
Oedionychis albipennis Jac., but it is of a more convex shape, the 
eyes are much more widely separated, the intermediate space is 
very light-coloured and entirely impunctate, and the metatarsus 
of the posterior legs is distinctly more elongate. 
ASPHHERA TARSATA, Sp. n. (Plate XIV. fig. 10.) 
Head, antenne, and thorax, under side and legs black; thorax 
with broadly flattened sides, impunctate ; elytra obscure testaceous, 
finely and closely punctured; metatarsus of the posterior legs 
elongate and slender, claw-joint strongly swollen. 
Length 8 millim. 
Head .impunctate, black, frontal tubercles very strongly 
developed, trigonate, carina convex; antenne black, the lower three 
jomts shining, the others pubescent, the intermediate joints 
slightly widened, third and fourth joints equal; thorax with strongly 
rounded and broadly flattened sides, anterior margins blunt and 
slightly produced outwards, more or less testaceous, the rest of the 
surface black; scutellum black; elytra convex, widened towards 
the middle, with broadly reflexed margins, the base without 
depression, closely, finely, but distinctly granulate-punctate ; under 
side and legs black. 
Hab. Peru. 
The more than usual elongate and slender metatarsus and 
the strongly swollen claw-joint and system of coloration well 
distinguish this species, of which I possess a single specimen. 
ASPH.ERA NASALIS, Sp. bh. 
Black, the head and the sides of the thorax anteriorly pale 
testaceous, the anterior angles mucronate ; elytra testaceous, finely 
and closely punctured ; carima of the head very broad. 
Length 74 millim. 
Head pale testaceous, shining, impunctate; eyes widely separated, 
frontal elevations broadly oblique, carina very broad and convex ; 
antenne long and slender, black, third and fourth joints very 
elongate, equal; thorax more than twice as broad as long, the 
sides broadly flattened and rounded, the anterior angles mucro-
