antennis laete ferrugineis, clava nigra, funiculi articulo basali secundo 

 fere duplo longiore ; prothorace subtransverso, granulis ovatis nitidis 

 sparse munito ; scutello subscutiformi ; elytris prothorace manifeste 

 latioribus, seriatim punctulatis, inter puncta granulato-corrugatis, 

 apice anguste rotundatis; pectore abdomineque lateraliter dense 

 flavido-squamosis ; femoribus sublinearibus. Long. 5 lin. 

 Hab. Venezuela. 



Allied to C. inornatus, Ehs., but much narrower, and with 

 nearly linear femora. 



Cholus delumbis. C. oblongus, subellipticus, niger, subtiliter griseo- 

 squamulosus ; rostro elongato, basi longitudinaliter acute angulato ; 

 antennis tenuatis; funiculi articulo primo secundo duplo longiore, 

 reliquis subrotundatis ; clava longe elliptica ; prothorace depresso, irre- 

 gulariter granulato, disco utrinque excavato, in medio antice carinato ; 

 scutello elevato, rotundato, laevigata ; elytris supra valde insequalibus, 

 seriatim granulatis, in medio planatis, singulis interrupte bicarinatis, 

 carina exteriore ad humeros paulo prominula, sed vix dilatatis ; fe- 

 moribus haud incrassatis; corpore infra minus squamoso. Long. 

 9 lin. 



Hab. Ecuador (Macas). 



This species approaches the genus AphyorJiamplius, Gruer., in its 

 (slightly) prominent shoulders ; but the mesosternum is not pro- 

 duced — a character, however, in this group of, I think, no generic 

 value. Cholus basalts, Boh., should be referred to it. 



Cholus bufonius. C. oblongo-ovatus, dorso planatus, niger, sejun- 

 ctim ochraceo squamulosus, prothorace elytrisque vitta laterali 

 ochracea, e squamulis condensatis, ornatis ; rostro basi modice, apice 

 valde, dilatato ; antennis piceis ; prothorace utrinque subampliato- 

 rotundato, basi fortiter bisinuato, irregulariter vage granulato ; scu- 

 tello transverso, conspicue nigro ; elytris elongato-cordatis, remote 

 seriatim punctulatis, vitta laterali utrinque granulis in seriebus duabus 

 vel tribus marginata, seriebus exterioribus minutis, aliisque etiam 

 dispersis ; corpore infra pedibusque squamulis filiformibus vestitis, 

 squamulis longioribus albis sparse interjectis ; femoribus fere lineari- 

 bus. Long. 7-8 lin. 



Hab. Amazons. 



The row of granules bordering the lateral stripe on each side 

 gives a cariniform sharpness to that part of the elytra, which 

 appears to be peculiarly diagnostic of this species. 



Cholus calamita. C. sat late obovatus, niger, opacus, supra sub- 

 planatus, vage sed fortiter granulatus, squamulis minutis- piliformibus 

 adspersus, vitta laterali, apicem elytrorum non attingente, e squamulis
