and elytra uniformly and regularly convex transversely, elytra relatively well declivous towards the apex. Cyrtosoma patinoi sp. n. (Fig. 7) Description - Winged (Fig. 7); black, moderately shining; tibiae, tarsi, antennae and mouth parts ferrugineous. Head rounded, almost circular, smooth; clypeus large, anteriorly truncate, continuous with genae laterally; frontoclypeal suture shallow; genae not prominent; eyes small, rounded, barely surpassing width of genae. Antennae rather long, first 7 antennomeres ferrugineous, small, 8-11 transverse, dark, club-like. Pronotum transverse, sides rounded, apex only slightly narrower than basis, emarginate medially; anterior angles acute; sides slightly sinuate before base, posterior angles rectangular; pronotal surface almost flat, shallowly and very sparsely punctate. Elytra much wider than pronotum, little convex, obovate elongate, apex not prominent; surface with rows of deep, ovate to strongly elongate foveae, widely separated one from another, extended from base to apex; interstriae flat and smooth. Ventral part black, smooth, weakly shining. Prosternai process large, oval, pointed and well developed posteriorly. Metaventritc long, shining, with distinct midlongitudinal sulcus. Intercoxal process of first abdominal ventrite very large, rounded at its tip. Legs rather long, slender, plantar surface of tarsi with rather long, dense, brownish pubescence. Length 9 mm. Type material - Holotype, sex unknown (HNHM): "Manizales A. M. Patino"; "Slg. R. Oberthür Eing. Nr. 4, 1956"; "Cyrtosoma sp. det. Kaszab". Distribution - Colombia. This species is highly isolated in Colombian Amazonia, from where no other species of Cyrtosoma is known (the other species occur either in the Andes or in the Brasilian Amazonia, from Ega eastward). Remarks - This species is characteristic because of the general form (pronotum is much narrower than elytra), and of the elytra with rows of deep foveae instead of striae. Cyrtosoma uruguayanum sp. n. (Fig. 8) Description - Winged (Fig. 8); black, moderately shining. Head tranverse, rectangular, with extremely minute and scarce punctation; clypeus short, frontoclypeal suture indistinct; genae small, flat; eyes round, relatively large, scarcely prominent. Antennae short, last antennomeres transverse. Pronotum transverse, much more convex transversely than longitudinally; sides rounded from base to apex; apex much narrower than basis; anterior angles obtuse, sides only a little sinuate before basis, so posterior angles slightly acute; lateral margins finely bordered, basal margin bordered near posterior angles only; pronotal surface practically smooth. Elytra much wider than pronotum, subovate, extremely convex, almost gibbose; much more convex longitudinally than transversely; sides nearly parallel, apex slightly acuminate; striae shallow, distinct on whole surface, but much more on disc
