280 STAPHYLINIDA. 
3. Huvira fuscipes. 
Sat elongata, angustula, parallela, nigra, sat nitida, antennarum dimidio basali flavo, pedibus fuscis; capite 
‘erebre punctato; prothorace convexo, parvo, elytris quam hic multo longioribus; abdomine crebre 
substrigoso-punctato. 
Long. 27 millim. 
Hab. GuateMA.a, near the city and at Zapote (Champion). 
Antenne with the five or six basal joints yellow, the others darker. Elytra not 
densely punctate, the punctuation rather indefinite. | 
In the male there is a rather broad, smooth, longitudinal space along the middle of 
the thorax; this space is a little depressed, and has a dull appearance in contrast with 
the rest of the surface; the sixth dorsal plate is but little granulate, and the seventh, 
though rather closely granulate, has a broad space at the extremity smooth. 
This species is again very similar to E£. nigra and L. longula ; but the punctuation of 
the surface is less dense, and the male characters different. Four individuals have 
been found. 
4. Kuvira godmani. (Tab. VI. fig. 19.) 
Nigra, parum pubescens, abdomine apicem versus latiore, antennarum basi flava, tibiis tarsisque fusco- 
testaceis; dense fortiterque punctata; elytris quam prothorax longioribus. 
Long. 23 millim. 
Hab. GuATEMALA, near the city, and Senahu (Champion). 
This is apparently the largest of the small and obscure species of this genus, and its 
punctuation is both coarse andclose. The antenne are short and rather stout ; the four 
or five basal joints yellow, the others dark; the fourth and fifth joints are rather stout 
and transverse, the following ones strongly transverse. The elytra are evidently longer 
than the thorax, and are coarsely and distinctly and closely punctate. The hind body 
has a close sculpture of rather elongate, very fine raised granules or short lines. 
In the male the disk of the head and of the thorax are conspicuously hollowed; the 
sixth dorsal plate bears numerous fine, and the seventh coarser, granules. 
Three individuals, all males, have been found. 
5. Kuvira difficilis. 
Fusca, parum pubescens, subnitida, antennarum dimidio basali pedibusque flavis, illis extrorsum nigris, 
dense fortiterque punctata; elytris quam prothorax longioribus. 
Long. vix 2 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, near the city, and San Gerénimo (Champion). 
Antenne not stout at the base; the fourth joint not, or only obscurely, transverse ; 
the six basal joints yellow, the others dark. Punctuation of the upper surface coarse 
and dense throughout. 
Only two individuals, rather immature, have been found; so far as I can judge they 
pertain to a species very similar to E. godmani, but they are smaller, not so black,
