026 MR. MA11TIN JACOBT ON NEW [Nov. 6, 



minute punctures are visible, a narrow longitudinal stripe near the 

 suture from the base to the apex, the extreme lateral margin 

 joining the other stripe at the apex, flavous, these stripes are 

 further connected by a very short transverse band near the apex 

 which includes a spot of the ground-colour ; elytral epipleurae 

 black within, flavous at the outer edge ; underside and legs 

 black. 



Hah. Brazil. 



The many-spotted thorax, the opaque colour of the elytra, and 

 the apical markings will separate this species from its allies. The 

 name of (E. brunneicollis given to this species by Clark having no 

 reference to it, I have altered it. 



(Edionychis advena (Clk. Catal.). 



Entirely obscure testaceous, the head and thorax impunctate ; 

 elytra closely punctured, with an obsolete longitudinal discoidal 

 stripe not extending to the apex and another extremely faint 

 stripe nearer the suture. 



Length 1| line. 



A very small species of unattractive appearance, obscure 

 testaceous or fulvous, the head impunctate, the antennae fuscous, 

 the lower three or four joints obscure fulvous ; thorax rather more 

 than twice as broad as long, the sides but slightly rounded, the 

 anterior angles thickened but not produced, the surface with a 

 rather distinct transverse sulcus near the base, impunctate or with 

 a few very fine punctures ; elytra very closely and rather strongly 

 punctured, the shoulders prominent, the disc with an obscure 

 piceous stripe not quite extending to the apex and a similar but 

 scarcely perceptible stripe near the suture ; epipleurae, underside, 

 and legs coloured as above. 



Hah. Brazil, Rio Janeiro. 



Clark was uncertain as to the habitat of this species, but two 

 specimens named by Clark and formerly contained in the Baly 

 collection are labelled Rio Janeiro. 



(Edionychis turpis (Clk. Catal.). 



Black, the sides of the thorax and the base of the femora flavous ; 

 thorax nearly impunctate ; elytra extremely minutely punctured, 

 flavous, the extreme apex black. 



Length 2| lines. 



Head impunctate, the vertex shining, black, eyes large, frontal 

 elevations transverse, strongly raised, carina acute, convex, the 

 clypeus and the labrum flavous ; antennae rather slender, black, the 

 lower three joints flavous below and partly above, third and fourth 

 joints equal, the eleventh with a short appendage or twelfth joint ; 

 thorax three times broader than long, the sides very strongly 

 rounded and flattened, the anterior angles not produced outward; 

 the disc black, shining, very minutely punctured when seen under 

 a strong lens, the sides, as far as the flattened portion, flavous ;
