Show 412 (JX NEW AMERICAN FI1YT0PHAGOUS COLEOPTERA. [Dec. 1 3, which I must separate from 0. luridus Cl. and 0. simplex Clark, of which I have compared the types in the British Museum. The head and thorax differ in coloration from these, the head in the present species having no fovea at the centre, the anterior angles of the thorax are dentiform and produced, not obsolete as in 0. simplex, and the general size is much smaller. C repid oder a longicornis, sp. n. Oblong-ovate, black, the basal joints of the antennse and the legs fulvous; thorax subquadrate, minutely punctured, deeply sulcate; elytra convex, finely punctate-striate ; antennfe very long ; legs robust. Length 4 millim. Of broadly ovate shape, the head impunctate, black; frontal elevations broad, trigonate, strongly raised ; clypeus convex between the antennse, its anterior margin of the shape of a semicircular ridge ; antennfe nearly extending to the apex of the elytra, black, the lower three joints fulvous, the third joint longer than the others, basal joint thickened, elongate-cylindrical, terminal joint about as long as the third; thorax convex, but slightly broader than long, the sides rounded at the middle, the angles not produced, the disc microscopically punctured, with a deep transverse sulcus near the base, bounded at the sides by a perpendicular groove; elytra wider at the base than the thorax, widened towards the middle, with a distinct basal transverse depression, the shoulders prominent, the surface finely punctate-striate, black and shining, the interstices flat; legs robust and short, fulvous, all the femora thickened, the tibiae strongly widened at the apex, the first joint of the tarsi broadly flattened. Hah. Peru. I know only a single specimen of this species, which, by its robust legs, the long antennfe, and general coloration, is well distinguished. In the last respect, the species resembles evidently C. peruviana Harold (Deutsche ent. Zeitscli. 1877, p. 130), but it is much larger, the antenna? are differently coloured, and the elytral punctuation is distinct to the apex. HlPPURIPHILA CATHARINE, sp. 11. Black below, above greenish-seneous, the basal joints of the antennfe fulvous ; thorax very strongly punctured, with a feeble transverse sulcus; elytra strongly punctate-striate, the base with a transverse depression. Length 2 millim. Short, convex, and ovate ; the head impunctate, feneous, a single punctiform impression above each eye, the latter rather large, from the upper margins of which a deep narrow groove extends obliquely to the base of the antenna', both grooves meeting at the centre ; clypeus convex between the antennfe, widened anteriorly |
