Head coarsely and irregularly punctured^ blackish^ thinly

individuals obscurely variegated. Antennae fringed beneath with 
stiff hairs, dull reddish or testaceous; apices of all the joints 
dusky, sometimes variegated with grey ; eighth joint greyish 
testaceous, tipped with dusky. Thorax very coarsely punctured; 
lateral tubercles acute; surface setose, dingy brown, sometimes 
varied with dull reddish, clothed with scanty tawny-brown pu- 
bescence, the base at each side having a short, thin, pale line 
running obliquely towards the disk, and in fresh examples sur- 
rounded by blackish. Elytra tapering to the apex, which latter 
is narrow and obtuse, almost truncated; surface setose, coarsely 
punctate-striate, with the third interstice costate before the apex,

thighs and tibiae varied with black. 
Banks of tho^Tapajos, common. Also found at Cayenne, and 
existing in some French collections under the names of Hebestola 
annulicornis and Leprieurii. I have a specimen also which was 
taken by Mr. Squires at Rio Janeiro, where several other species 
are found allied to this, three of which have truncated elytra*.
