One example only, taken on a fallen bough in the forest at 
Ega. It seems to be closely allied to the South- Brazilian Try- 
panidius litigiosus of collections, which is also an (Edopeza^, 
Genus Cosmotoma (Bej.), Blanchard.

The present group differs from the neighbouring genera by a 
multitude of characters ; but the length and shape of the basal 
joint of the antennse, besides many other minor features, leave 
no doubt that its true position is in the Leiopodine group. The 
chief peculiarities reside in the ornamentation of the antennse — 
a feature that reappears here and there throughout the family 
* (Edopeza litigiosa. Oblongo-elongata, brunnea, nigro canoque varie- 
gata. Caput obscure fulvum, vertice nigro bimaculato. Antennae 
brunneae, articulis basi cinereis, primo cinereo annulate. Thorax supra 
inaequalis, brunneus, disco nigro quadrimaculatus, lateribus maculis 
nigris griseo cinctis. Elytra oblonga, postice attenuata, apice oblique 
truncata ; dorso passim irregulariter punctata baud setosa, brunnea, 
maculis nigris sparsa quarum duahus majoribus pone medium sitis, et 
strigis canis varia praecipue apud medium et ante apicem. Corpus 
subtus tomento tenui griseo vestitum, abdominis lateribus fulvo-griseo

The two following belong also to this genus : —

basi griseis. Thorax supra subinaequalis, spinis lateralibus magnis 
acutis ; dorso brunneo maculis obscurioribus ; lateribus utrin-

Elytra oblonga, obtuse truncata; dorso leniter carinata, punctata,
