have the thorax larger and less transverse, the elytra of a different colour and more 
closely punctate, and the legs paler. The male characters are apparently similar in the 
two species. 
This was probably found in company with H. jugicola, as the two were mixed 
indiscriminately on the cards on which they were mounted by Mr. Champion; six 
individuals of A. montiwm have been examined. 
31. Homalota mundula. 
Nigra, nitida, parcius punctata et pubescens, pedibus sordide testaceis, femoribus basique antennarum fuscis ; 
antennis parum elongatis, articulis 5°-10™ leviter transversis ; prothorace fortiter transverso. 
Long. 23 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Totonicapam 8500 to 10500 feet (Champion). 
Antenne black, sordid yellow at the base, rather short, moderately stout ; third joint 
hardly so long as second ; fourth distinctly smaller than the following, hardly so long as 
broad ; fifth to tenth transverse, the first of them being slightly, the last decidedly 
broader than long. Head short and broad, rather shining, almost impunctate. Thorax 
scarcely narrower than the elytra, strongly transverse ; hind angles acute, very sparingly 
and indistinctly punctate. Elytra rather sparingly and finely punctate, fuscous black 
in colour. Hind body at the base very sparingly punctate, at the apex almost im- 
punctate. 
The unique individual of this species was perhaps found in company with H. jugicola, 
as it was mounted on the same card as a specimen of that species. HH. mundula, though 
similar to H. jugicola, is undoubtedly distinct, is apparently of smaller size, blacker 
colour, and with more shining less punctate surface, and shorter and stouter antenne. 
32. Homalota hirtiventris. 
Anterius et posterius attenuata, parum depressa, fusco-ferruginea, prothorace abdomineque basi et apice vage 
dilutioribus, antennis, basi excepta, nigricantibus, pedibus testaceis; prothorace parum punctato; abdo- 
mine crebre punctato, apicem versus crebrius longiusque setuloso. 
Long. 23 millim. 
Hab. GuatEMALA, Coatepeque 1300 feet, El Tumbador 2500 feet (Champion). 
Antenne slender, of moderate length, not thickened externally, third joint elongate ; 
rather longer than second, fourth a little smaller than those following ; fifth to tenth 
similar to one another, and each about as long as broad; terminal joint elongate, 
acuminate. Head narrow, only about half as broad as the elytra. Thorax transverse, 
but not strongly so, a good deal rounded at the base, not much rounded at the sides, 
a little narrowed at the front angles, of an obscure ferruginous colour. Elytra about 
as long as the thorax, rather closely punctate. Hind body much narrowed behind, 
somewhat roughly punctate, the apical segments scarcely more sparingly than those at 
the base, the pubescence conspicuous, and the exserted sete towards the extremity
