Abstract New species described: eccentrica, sp. n. and A. suturalis, sp. n., from Ecuador; Apagomeri1Uf, rubricollis, sp. n., from Brazil. New synonyms proposed.

The type species of Xenonta, X. eryhronota Lane, 1970, is transferred to Apagomeri1Uf,. Mariliana ocularis (Hope, 1846) is recorded for Argentina (Salta).

Antennae reaching elytral apices ap­ proximately atthe tip ofsegmentVII; black, except segmentV, white. Interlorsldeofbasalftagelomera with sparse haire. Prothorax reddish, covered by whitish pubescence. Sides of prothorax almost straight, scarcely laterally projected at basal one third. Scutellum reddish.

Discussion. The sides of the prothorax in A. rubricollis are almost straight, lacking the lateral gibbosity presentinthe other speciesofApafJomer­ ina. Also, A. rubricollis is the only species with the sutural rib andthe undersideofthebody yellowish.
