BAMONA. 289 
yellow, the base yellowish, the middle broadly dark, very finely and densely punctulate, 
little shining. Hind body densely and finely punctulate, with conspicuous ciliation on 
the hind margins of segments 2-4. Legs clear pale yellow. 
The coloration of this species will readily distinguish it from B. gracilis and 
B. concolor, to which it is very closely allied. Only a single individual has been 
found. 
4, Bamona minuta. 
Subtilissime punctulata et pubescens, nigro-fusca, antennis fuscis basi dilutiore, pedibus pallide testaceis ; 
prothorace subquadrato, vix punctulato; abdomine densissime subtilissime punctato. 
Long. vix 2 millim. 
Hab. GuATEMALA, Coatepeque 1300 feet (Champion). 
Antenne rather elongate, infuscate red, with the base paler; third joint rather 
shorter than the sécond; the tenth scarcely transverse. Head quadrate, nearly as 
broad as the elytra, with narrow neck, excessively minutely punctate, with a rather 
large depression in front. Thorax hardly so long as broad, a little narrower than the 
elytra, a little narrowed behind, excessively finely and indistinctly punctulate, with a 
flattening or slight depression of the surface in front of the base in the middle. Elytra 
elongate, much longer than the thorax, excessively finely and closely punctate. Hind 
body closely and very finely punctate. 
This species differs from those preceding by the shorter and broader thorax, and by 
possessing short tarsi. It is described from a unique individual. 
5. Bamona brevicornis. 
Minuta, subparallela, brunnea, capite antennisque fuscis, harum basi pedibusque testaceis ; prothorace quadrato, 
subtiliter punctato; abdomine sat crebre punctato ; antennarum articulis 5°-10™ transversis. 
Long. 23 millim. 
Hab. Guatemaia, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
Antenne rather short and stout; third joint shorter than the second; fourth to 
tenth each rather strongly transverse. Head subquadrate, a little narrower than the 
thorax and elytra, rather closely and finely punctulate, not shining. ‘Thorax scarcely 
so long as broad, slightly narrower than the elytra, nearly straight at the sides, 
very finely punctulate, slightly shining. Elytra rather longer than the thorax, closely 
and finely punctulate, not shining. Hind body not shining; segments 2-4 moderately 
closely and finely punctate, the following segments more sparingly. Legs rather short, 
yellow. 
This insect does not possess the Falagrioid appearance of those I have placed before 
it, but, on the contrary, resembles a small Homalota, and it does not exhibit 
any incrassation of the terminal joint of the tarsi. Only one individual has been 
found.
