West-lndian Longicorn Coleoptera. 
described a species with brown elytra, though the Fabrician 
description reads u elytra subscabra, nigra.” I cannot find 
Olivier’s type in the collection of Banks, where it is stated to 
have been. The 8. asteria , Buq., of Dejean’s Catalogue is a 
very distinct variety from Martinique and Guadeloupe, and 
answers fairly well to Olivier’s description and figure of S. 
canaliculata. The specimens of 8. subcanaliculata , White, in 
the British Museum bear no indication of locality; but two 
specimens in Mr. Fry’s collection are ticketed Trinidad. 
In the footnote below* will be found described an interesting 
new species of Solenoptera from Colombia. The description 
is taken from a single male specimen in Mr. Fry’s collection. 
Elateropsis, Chevr. 
In describing Cuban species of this genus Chevrolat has 
again erroneously made use of Linnean and Fabrician names. 
Under the name E. lineata he has mixed up two distinct 
species — one the true lineata of Linnaeus and Fabricius, the 
other the following : — 
Elateropsis punctata , sp. n., ? . 
E. lineatce similis, sed differt elytris sat fortiter et dense punctatis. 
Hob. Cuba. 
* Solenoptera intermedia, sp. n. 
(5. Obscure ferruginea; elytris brunneo-testaceis, marginibus lateralibus 
paliidioribus ; capite dense punctato, tenuissime griseo-pubescente ; 
protkorace medio dorsi fere piano, nitido, valde rugoso-punctato, versus 
latera et subtus (medio except o) minute confertissimeque punctato; 
scutello elytrisque valde rugoso-punctatis ; corpore subtus fortiter sat 
denseque punctato, episternis meso- meta-thoracisque pube albo-sericea 
dense obtectis ; pedibus subscabroso-punctatis ; antennis punctatis, 
dimidium corporis nec attingentibus. 
Long. 33 ; lat. ad humeros 11, ad medium prothoracis 12 mm. 
Hab. Colombia. In the collection of Mr. Alexander Fry. 
The prothorax in this species is but very slightly depressed and almost 
flat along the middle of the disk ; its width across the middle is slightly 
greater than that of the elytra ; from the middle it is narrowed, with a 
rounded curve on each side up to the anterior border ; the margins are 
very faintly crenulate on the anterior half ; the constriction on each side 
at the base is deep but short, so that the postero-lateral angles are at a 
small distance from the shoulders of the elytra. Though undoubtedly 
belonging to the genus Solenoptera , the species is shown, by the characters 
here given, to hi somewhat intermediate between the latter genus and 
the Central- American genus Holonotu * , Thoms. In colour and form it 
somewhat resembles S. Thomce , Linn., but in ay be easily distinguished bv 
the characters given above.
