13. Sciocharis fragilis. 
Minor, angustula, sordide ferruginea, capite nigricante, prothorace fusco-ferrugineo, antennis pedibusque 
testaceis, omnino subtilissime fere invisibiliter punctulata, opaca. 
Long. 23 millim. 
Hab. GuaTEMALA, near the city, San Gerénimo, Aceytuno (Champion). 
In this minute and obscure insect the head is subquadrate, the base and hind angles 
a little rounded, the eyes rather small, and not occupying one half of the length of the 
sides. The thorax is transversely subquadrate, only very slightly narrowed behind, the 
punctuation almost imperceptible, but a straight smoother space may be detected along 
the middle. The elytra are elongate, their punctuation extremely fine. The front 
tarsi are quite undilated. A good series was obtained, 
14. Sciocharis minuta. 
Minor, angustula, ferruginea, capite prothoraceque fuscescentibus, antennis pedibusque testaceis, omnino sub- 
tilissime fere invisibiliter punctulata, opaca. 
Long. 2 millim. 
Hab. Panama, San Miguel in the Pearl Islands (Champion). 
This species is very closely allied to S. fragilis, but is smaller and narrower, and the 
head is less quadrate, being considerably narrower; the thorax, moreover, is about as 
long as broad. Unique. 
15. Sciocharis boops. (Tab. XIV. fig. 24.) 
Nigra, omnino densissime punctulata, opaca, antennis pedibusque fusco-rufis; capite subtransverso, oculis 
majoribus ; prothorace haud transverso, basin versus angustato, basi in medio canaliculato. 
Long. 44 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Head short and very broad, the hind angles very much rounded, the eyes convex, 
extending more than half the length of the sides, excessively finely and densely punc- 
tate, tomentose. ‘Thorax much narrower than the head, considerably narrowed behind, 
excessively densely and finely punctate, with a deep channel in the middle behind. 
Flytra longer than the thorax, densely and finely punctate. Front tarsi much dilated. 
Three examples. 
16. Sciocharis juno. 
Fusca, opaca, antennis pedibusque testaceis; capite transverso, oculis per magnis, prothorace basin versus 
angustato, medio canaliculato; elytris apicem versus dilutioribus. 
Long. 3 millim. 
Hab. PanaMa, Bugaba (Champion). 
Head and thorax excessively obsoletely punctate, almost smooth but not shining, the 
latter with a narrow smooth line along the middle canaliculate at the base. Eyes very
