sulcatis, interstitiis convexis, sublaevibus. Long. 13, lat. 64 
millim. 
Oaput basi longitudine haud latius, deflexum, fronte rugu- 
losa, epistome impressione transversa a fronte distincte separato, 
confertim punctato, plica apicali picea. Labrum transversum, 
puünctulatum, fulvo-eiliatum. Oeuli lunati, superne sat aporoxi- 
mati, spatio interjacente vix quintam partem frontis oceupante.

distinete sinuatis; antice leviter emarginatus, angulis subrectis; 
postice bisinuatus, angulis subacumimatis; supra transversim 
convexus, in dorso remotius, ad latera cerebre punctatus, intra 
marginem baseos transversim impressus, apice lateribusque 
tenuiter marginatus. Scutellum subcordatum, obsolete punetu-

postice conjunctim anguste rotundata, thorace dimidio latiora

Oplocheirus afer: oblongus, niger, supra opacus, pilis longis

mareinato; elytris sulcatis, suleis seriato-granulatis, interstitils 
convexis, granulis vage adspersis. Long 19, lat. 84 millim. 
Caput deflexum, profunde at minus crebre punetatum, epi-

apicali flavescente, lateribus barbatis; crist® anteoculares obliquse, 
longe ultra impressionem frontalem extens®. Oculi depressi, 
lunati, spatio interjacente haud tertiam partem frontis oceu-

ultimo excepto, subobconieis, 3:0 duobus sequentibus, simul 
sumtis, longitudine fere quali. Thorax basi longitudine di-

erectis, parce adspersus, marginibus omnibus distincte carinatis. 
Seutellum triangulare, punctulatum. Elytra pone humeros, 
oblique extensos, longe ultra medium linearia, apicem versus 
dein angustata, thorace plus dimidio latiora et fere quadruplo 
longiora, supra modice convexa, distincte sulcata, in suleis
