SCOPAUS. 543 
7. Scopzeus salvini. (Tab. XIV. fig. 4.) 
Angustulus, rufo-testaceus ; pectore abdomineque fuscis, elytris basin versus fuscescentibus, antennis pedibusque 
testaceis; capite anterius subangustato; prothorace omnino vix visibiliter punctato, subopaco. 
Long. 23 millim. . 
Hab. GuatEMa.a, near the city, San Gerdénimo, Paraiso (Champion) ; Panama, Los 
Remedios, San Lorenzo (Champion). 
Antenne short, entirely yellow, joints 5-10 each not so long as broad. Head narrow, 
very slightly narrowed in front, the vertex scarcely emarginate, the sides a little curved 
near the hind angles, densely, excessively finely punctate. Thorax suboblong, rather 
bright yellow, scarcely perceptibly punctate. Elytra longer than the thorax, finely 
punctate, broadly fuscescent at the base. The male has a rather small emargination 
of the last ventral plate. 
Although this species has externally the appearance of being very closely allied to 
S. concolor, the cedeagus of the two species is very different ; it terminates in this species 
in a long slender point like a wasp’s sting, whereas in S. concolor the termination is 
truncate, with two short angular processes which are probably articulated and mobile. 
8. Scopzeus obscurus. 
Angustulus, niger; antennis pedibusque testaceis, illis medio vix obscuratis; subtilissime punctulatus, pro- 
thorace subnitido. , 
Long. 23 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, El Tumbador 2500 feet, Zapote (Champion). 
Though differing very greatly in colour from S. salvini, this insect, in respect of form, 
size, and sculpture, is extremely similar thereto. The male characters externally are 
scarcely perceptible, but the cedeagus bears no resemblance to that of S. salvind; it is 
more similar to that of S. concolor; it is, however, of more elongate form, with a more 
dilated apex. Hight examples were found at El Tumbador, and one at Zapote. 
9. Scopzus piceolus. 
Elongatus, angustulus, subparallelus, subtilissime punctatus, subopacus, picescens ; pedibus testaceis, elytris ad 
suturam vage obscureque rufescentibus. 
Long. 3 millim. 
+ Hab. Guaremaa, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
This insect is excessively similar, except in colour, to S. concolor, but being dark it 
more resembles S. obscurus. S. piceolus will, I think, be recognized by the dark elytra 
being obscurely rufescent along the suture, and I have therefore ventured to give it a 
name. We have received only two female examples, and in one of them the antenne 
are fuscous; this may be due to decay, as these organs are yellow in the other 
example.
