STENUS, 667 
65. Stenus suaveolus. 
Cyaneus, nitidus ; antennis, palpis pedibusque flavis, illis extrorsum fuscescentibus ; capite bisulcato ; prothorace 
subcylindrico, medio subcarinato; abdomine pubescente, obsolete punctato. 
Long. 53 millim. 
Hab. GuaTEMALA, Paso Antonio (Champion). 
Antenne very long, almost gradually thickened from the middle to the extremity. 
Head moderately broad, not at all excavate, sparingly punctured, indistinctly bisulcate, — 
the wide median interstice a little convex and still more sparingly punctured. Thorax 
very elongate, a good deal curved at the sides, rather closely and irregularly but not very 
coarsely punctured, with an abbreviated shining smooth space along the middle. Elytra 
scarcely longer than the thorax, more coarsely and less closely punctured. Hind body 
only finely punctured, but more than usually pubescent. 
One female, in bad preservation. A very distinct species. 
66. Stenus podagricus. (Tab. XVII. fig. 17.) 
Cyaneo-niger, nitidus, pube depressa evidenter vestitus ; antennis, palpis pedibusque flavis; capite late obsolete- 
que bisulcato ; abdomine obsolete punctato. 
Long. 63 millim. 
Hab. Nicaragua, Chontales (Janson). 
Antenne and palpi very long. Head not so broad as the elytra, rather densely 
pubescent, finely punctate, broadly but rather indefinitely impressed on each side. 
Thorax not twice as long as broad, curved at the sides, moderately, finely, and not 
very densely punctate, with distinct depressed pubescence. LElytra shining, rather 
sparingly punctured, with a white pubescence very conspicuous on the basal part. 
Hind body almost impunctate, with distinct depressed white pubescence. Male with 
the ventral plates depressed along the middle from the base to the fifth segment; sixth 
segment obsoletely pubescent along the middle, the seventh with an elongate excision 
not broader at its commencement than near its termination; hind legs greatly swollen, 
the femur in the middle behind with a truncate prominence, the tibia angularly dilated 
internally in the middle and below this excised and pubescent. 
Two examples. J. cerritus from the Amazons, and an undescribed species from Rio 
Janeiro, in my collection, have the hind legs similarly formed. 
Subfam. MEGALOPIN AL. 
Erichson placed the genus Megalops as a separate group of “ Oxytelini ;’ 
> 
in the 
Munich Catalogue it is placed in “Stenine.” I cannot persuade myself at present that 
it can be correctly placed in either of these subfamilies, and I therefore isolate it. It 
is perhaps more nearly allied to “ Evesthetine ” than to any other of the subfamilies, 
and, if this be the case, it would naturally be placed between that subfamily and the 
** Stenine.”
