HOMALOTA. 183 
dimidio apicali pallidiore; antennis crassiusculis, articulis penultimis subtransversis; prothorace trans- 
verso; abdomine subparallelo, crebre punctato. 
Long. 3 millim. 
Hab. Britisu Honpvuras, Belize (Blancaneaux); GuatTEMALA, El Reposo 800 feet, San 
Isidro 1600 feet, Guatemala city (Champion) ; Nicaracua, Chontales (Janson). 
Antenne rather stout, of moderate length, scarcely thicker externally, the basal two 
_or three joints yellow, the rest dark; third joint as long as second; fourth about as long 
as broad, a little shorter and narrower than those following; fifth about as long as broad ; 
tenth slightly transverse; terminal joint large, as long as the two preceding together. 
Head short and broad, nearly black. Thorax greatly broader than long, nearly straight 
at the sides, the base a little rounded, the hind angles distinct, obtuse, the surface very 
finely and not closely punctate. -Elytra yellow, rather longer than the thorax, very 
finely punctate. Hind body with segments two to five rather closely punctate, sixth 
more sparingly. Legs pale yellow. 
Only a single individual has been sent from each of the five localities. Although 
similar in appearance to H. heterocera, the species is, with the following one, rather 
isolated, and of doubtful position, the mesosternal process being comparatively short 
and not slender, with obtuse extremity. 
22. Homalota salle. 
Fusca, antennarum basi, pedibus elytrisque testaceis, his extrorsum ad apicem fuscis ; antennis parum elongatis, 
crassiusculis, articulis 4°-10™ transversis; prothorace fortiter transverso; abdomine subparallelo, basi 
parce punctato. 
Long. 24 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Sallé). 
This species is very similar to H. perdita, and agrees with it in the sternal structure, 
but differs by the shorter joints of the antenne and the sparingly punctured hind body. 
The second and third joints of the antenne are short, and are subequal in length ; joints 
four to ten each a little broader than its predecessor, the first of them hardly so long 
as broad, the last of them strongly transverse, terminal joint large. ‘The hind body is 
very sparingly punctate, even on the basal segments. 
The unique individual described is a male; the hind margin of the seventh dorsal 
plate is bituberculate in the middle, and the outside of each tubercle is armed with a 
slender rather elongate tooth. 
23. Homalota terminicornis. (Tab. V. fig. 9.) 
Fusca, antennarum basi apiceque pedibusque testaceis, elytris fusco-testaceis, humeris testaceis; antennis 
crassiusculis, articulis penultimis leviter transversis; abdomine subparallelo, segmentis basalibus crebre, 
5° et 6° parcius punctatis. 
Long. 23-3 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, El Reposo 800 feet, San Isidro 1600 feet, Carrizal (Champion) ; 
Nicaragua, Chontales (Janson); Panama, Buguba 800 to 1500 feet (Champion).
