3. Kleusis fenestrata. 
Nigra; antennis pedibusque piceis, tibiis tarsisque testaceis ; elytro singulo plaga magna testacea; dense strigo- 
sula; capite oblongo, parce obsoleteque punctato. 
Long. 5 millim. 
Hab. GuateMALa, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
Similar in size and form to E. rufula, but differing from it in colour, and the much 
greater development of the strigose sculpture on the head, thorax, and elytra. As in 
E. rufula the head has an obsolete fovea on the vertex, and the thorax is also similar 
in form and has similar impressions on the front margin. Each of the wing-cases has a 
large pallid mark occupying the greater part of the surface, but leaving a black patch 
round the scutellum; the suture also is dark, and the hind margin broadly so. 
4, Eleusis pallidipennis. 
Isomalus pallidipennis, Fauv. Bull. Soc. Linn. Normand. ix. p. 40’; Notices ent. ii. p. 36°.

This species varies in size, and in the colour of the legs and antenne, and I have no 
doubt [somalus tenuis was founded on a very small example with these organs pallid; I 
have examples agreeing with Fauvel’s description before me from both Guatemala and 
the Amazons valley. In his recent ‘ Notices ent.’ vii. p. 17, Fauvel adopts the name 
E. fasciata for our insect, considering it to be the same as Tsomalus fasciatus, Lec. I 
am not acquainted with the North-American insect, but as the descriptions are far 
from conveying to my mind the impression that this identification is correct, I do not 
adopt it at present. 
5. Eleusis corvina. (Tab. XIX. fig. 17.) 
Nigra; antennis, tibiis tarsisque fusco-testaceis, elytris testaceo-plagiatis; omnino subtilissime strigosa, fere 
impunctata ; prothorace angusto. 
Long. 4 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Senahu (Champion). 
This insect is very closely allied to the form of £. pallidipennis with dark femora 
and antenne, but readily distinguished by the elytra being broadly black at the base as 
well as at the apex; in this latter respect it resembles L. fenestrata, from which it is 
well distinguished by the quite different strigosity of the surface and by the deep gular 
suture. ‘he head is suboblong, with a few distant very fine punctures which are not 
more conspicuous between the antenne than elsewhere. The thorax is about as long 
as broad, the sides simply rounded from the front angles to the base, the front margin
