bipunctate on each side. The hind body is quite black, the apex not at all more 
dilute. 
6. Eleusis flavipennis. 
Angustior, nigro-picea ; antennarum basi pedibusque testaceis ; elytris pallide flavis. 
Long. vix 3 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Purula (Champion). 
This insect differs from the smaller, narrow examples of FE. pallidipennis in possessing 
longer, as well as unicolorous elytra. In other respects quite similar to that species. 
Unique. . 
7. Hleusis infima. 
Nigro-picea ; antennis pedibusque rufis; omnino subtilissime strigosa, fere impunctata. 
Long. 5 millim. 
Hab. Nicaraeva, Chontales (Janson). 
Extremely similar to L. interrupta, Er., but twice as large, considerably broader, and 
with a transverse thorax. The antenne are elongate. The head is rather short and 
broad, and intermediate in shape between that of H. bicolor and that of the species of 
the following group. The thorax is short and broad, very greatly narrowed behind ; 
bipunctate on each side on the anterior margin, with two large punctures at each side 
near the middle, and the outline of the side interrupted or emarginate between these. 
Elytra unicolorous, piceous, but more dilute than the head and thorax. 
§ 2. Elytris quadripunctatis. 
8. Eleusis breviceps. 
Nigro-picea ; tibiis tarsisque et abdomine versus apicem rufescentibus; capite transversim suborbiculato, sub- 
tilissime punctulato. 
Long. 4 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Senahu 2500 feet (Champion). 
Antenne rather short. Head moderately shining, sparingly and very finely punctate. 
Thorax short, bipunctate on the anterior margin ; the surface extremely feebly, 
obliquely, longitudinally depressed on each side, the middle with a fine, short channel. 
Similar to E. infima, though readily distinguished by the quadripunctate elytra and 
the shorter head. Only two examples were obtained. 
9, Hleusis scita. (Tab. XIX. fig. 18.) 
Rufo-testacea; capite, prothorace elytrorumque apice nigris; antennis fuscis, basi testacea; nitida, fere 
impunctata. 
Long. 4-5 millim. 
Hab. Guatemaua, near the city, Capetillo, Zapote, Cerro Zunil (Champion).
