extremity truncated and reaching nearly to the tips of the teginina; these last are 
eorrugated and ferruginous-brown; by the front aspect two blunt supra-humeral

SPHONGOPHORUS (ACANTHONOTUS) LIVIDUS, n.s. 
(Plate XV. fig. 3.) 
General colour light sordid ochreous. Procephalon erect, broad, flat, fusiform, 
and punctate, furnished with a finger-like process on the hinder edge; dorsal horn 
acute, similar in form, and as long as the anterior process ; whole insect very hirsute - r 
tegmina ochreous; legs the same colour and punctate; hind pair not spatulate ; 
abdomen grey. 
The peculiar form of the pronotum furnishes, if not a generic separation, at least 
certain characters suitable for a sub-genus. 
Size, 8x8 mm. 
Habitat. —Amazons.

SPHONGOPHORUS (LECYTHIFERA) INFLATUS, Fowler. 
(Plate XV. figs. 4, 4a, 4b.)

Bemarkable from the large inflated process on the dorsal part of the pronotum; 
brownish-black, with the anterior process recurved and clavate; both this and the 
inflated bladderlike process are sculptured and coarsely reticulated, the interstices being 
more or less hexagonal in form ; the dorsal process is slightly sessile; the pronotal 
apex projects ; tegmina long and brown, with a testaceous mark; legs ferruginous. 
Fowler says the sexes of this species do not differ in any marked degree.
