INSECTA SAUNDERSIANA. 
Pedes quam in eodem genere multo longiores et tenuiores, postici 
anticis intermediisque evidenter breviores, praesertim in tibiis, unifonniter 
tenuiter tomentosi, non fusco-annulati; femoribus paulio clavatis; tibiis 
sublinearibus, h. e. basi hand curvatis, et apice parum ampliatis, tenuibus ; 
tarsis angustis, longis, articulo lo latitudine apicali plus triplo longiore. 
Etym.: A u-^Yiho$, altus , carina. (Carina dorsalis rostri valde 
elevata.) 
Typus: Phlceotragus annulicornis, Scb. Gen. et Sp. Curcul. t. v. pars, 
i. pag. 181. 
Obs. —From the narrowness of the head, front and rostrum, the posi¬ 
tion of the ridges in the latter, the want of the two small ridges between the 
eyes, the obsolete continuation beneath of the antennal groove, the nar¬ 
rowness of the eyes transversely, the posterior carina of the thorax, much 
more directed upwards on the disc before the sides, and continued straightly 
at the sides towards the apex somewhat under the upper side, the elonga¬ 
tion and slenderness of the legs, the uniformly light subsericeous tomen- 
tum, without annulations adorning the thighs and tibiae, this genus is 
easily distinguished from Ptychoderes , although its typical species bears 
a striking resemblance to Pt. viridanus of Soli, in its general green 
coloration. 
In addition to the type, Hypselotropis annulicornis, Sch. (Op. 
jam citat.) t. v. p. 1, pag. 181 ( Phlceotragus ), I am acquainted with 
a second species from the Amazons.
