72 THE TRIBE ONOIDERINI
third punctures obsolete; humeri slightly projecting, anterior margin straight,
oblique, the apex with a prominent tubercle, which is continued posteriorly by a
slightly oblique, short carina, only slightly longer than anterior humeral margin.
Prosternum simple. Procoxae anteriorly with a small, obtuse tubercle, posteriorly
tumid; femora robust, clavate, profemora not at all rugose, metatil;liae rather
strongly expanded from just beyond base. Fifth sternite one-half again as long as
fourth, with a median impressed line, apex retuse. Antennae nearly as long as
body, sparsely fimbriate beneath on proximal segments; scape slender, capitate on
apical two-fifths, not rugose; third segment a trace longer than first, bisinuous ;
rest gradually shorter.
LENGTH 14-15mm.j width 6.5-7.5 nun.
Holotype.-Female; Cayenne, French Guiana ; [M.C.Z.].
Paratypes.-Three females ; topotypic; [M.C.Z.]. Female;
Brazil; [M.C.Z.]. Two females ; Santarem; [C.M.].
Charoides antennata sodalis Dillon and Dillon, subsp. nov.

Resembles the nymotypic form very closely, the coloration of
the pubescence being the chief difference. It is characterized by
the following distinctions :
Pronotum with the pubescence less grayish-brown, the hoary tending to predominate,
especially along base, the short lateral streaks on all the angles more
distinct. Elytra tinted with golden-brown, strongly mottled with dark brown,
especially on apical half, the median white fascia distinct, slightly interrupted, its
hind margin strongly undulating. Body beneath almost white medially, not just
hoary-gray; abdominal lateral vittae ochraceous-gray, pubescence less distinctly
thinner laterally.
LENGTH 14.5-16 nun.; width 6.7-7 mm.
Holotype.Femalej Rio Huallaga, Achinamiza, Peru, October
9; [R.P.M. number 5001.].
Paratype.-Female; Santarem, Brazil ; [C.M.].
Remarks.-Both the nymotype and sodalis occur at Santarem
and it may eventually prove that the two are specifically distinct.

HypsWma picticornis Bates BioI. Centr.-Amer., Col. v, 1880, p. 123, pl. IX, fig. 7.
[not Bates, 1865.].
Distinguished from C. antennata by the coarse, distinct punctation
of basal half of elytra; the eye with lower lobe distinctly
