ACYLOPHORUS. 325 
1. Acylophorus luctuosus. 
Acylophorus luctuosus, Solsky, Hor. Soc. Ent. Ross. v. p. 122. 
Hab. Mexico! (Boucard). 
From the remarks in the preface to Mr. Solsky’s paper it appears probable this insect 
was found at Oaxaca; it is stated to have a smooth scutellum and elytra shorter than 
the thorax; it is unknown to me. 
2. Acylophorus didymus. (Tab. VII. fig. 25.) 
Nigerrimus, nitidus; mandibulis, palpis tarsisque fulvo-rufis; capite elliptico, haud anterius acuminato ; elytris 
prothoracis longitudine, parce punctatis ; scutello tantum punctis duobus vel tribus subobsoletis ; abdomine 
haud dense sat fortiter punctato. 
Long. 8 millim. . 
Hab. Guatemata, Duefias (Champion). 
Antenne black, rather elongate, a good deal thicker externally ; second, third, and 
fourth joints rather longer, only the ninth and tenth shorter than broad. Head 
narrow and somewhat elongate, but not acuminate in front, sparingly pubescent and 
somewhat coarsely punctate beneath. 
3. Acylophorus proximus. 
Niger, nitidus; femoribus late flavis, antennarum articuli primi basi tarsisque piceis; capite ovato; elytris 
scutelloque parce punctatis, illis ad marginem posteriorem spinulis crassiusculis armatis ; abdomine 
apicem versus fortiter attenuato, segmentis singulis ad basin crebre subtiliter, apicem versus parce, 
punctatis. 
Long. 7 millim. 
Hab. Guaremata, Duefias, Paso Antonio (Champion). 
The head beneath is indistinctly punctate and sparingly pubescent; the scutellum 
bears about six or seven punctures; the flavescent femora are black at the extreme 
base and apex. 
This insect is extremely close to the Amazonian A. acuminatus; but the colour of 
the legs is a little different, the hind body is more sparingly punctate, as is also the 
scutellum. 
4, Acylophorus simplex. 
Nigerrimus ; capite thoraceque nitidis, tarsis piceis ; capite elliptico; elytris paulo longioribus quam prothorax, 
erebre fortiter punctatis ; scutello parce punctato ; abdomine nigerrimo, sat crebre fortiter punctato. 
Long. 9 millim. 
Hab. Mextco, Oaxaca, Mirador (Hége), Cordova (Sailé). 
The head is sparingly punctate and pubescent beneath, and the scutellum bears only 
five or six punctures; the sete at the hind margin of the elytra are fine; the hind
