neiD species of CleridcB. 263 



Hah. — Parana ; coll. Gorham. 



Obs. A species reminding one of certain EjncUnes of 

 Chevrolat's section Dereutes. 



Var. ? Olivacea, thorace subrufa^ eljtris basi juxta 

 suturam, fasciaque obliqua albidis. 



Hab. — Parana; coll. Gorham. 



Emmepus, Motschulsky. 

 Type, E. arundinis, Mots. 



Ellipotoma, Spinola. 



Type, E. tenuiformis, Spin. 



The antennae, as Spinola observes, have but eight joints 

 really distinct, and it appears probable to me that he was 

 probably deceived as to the subdivisions of the fifth appa- 

 rent joint, and that the genns ought to be characterized 

 as having eight apparent, but really eleven, joints to the 

 antennae. The tarsi are probably also defectively de- 

 scribed, but I have not seen the species in any collection. 



Allelidea, Waterhouse. 

 Type, A. ctenostomoides, Wat. 

 The elytra are seiTate at the apex. 



Theano, Castelnau. 



Type, T. pusilla, Cast. 



The very small size, — half a line, — should cause this 

 Columbian genus to be recognized. . I have not seen it. 



Paupris, Sharp (Ent. Mag. 1877, p. 271). 



Type, P. ajjtera, Sharp. 



The toiit ensemble of characters of this anomalous genus 

 bring it, as I think, more into harmony with the Hydno- 

 cerides than with Opilo and its allies. The coarse gra- 

 nulation of the eyes is only of secondary im])ortancc ; 

 whereas the shortening of the elytra and strong difference 

 in the palpi has its correlative here.
