distinguished by the large definite fovea on the front of the head being similar to 
the two fovez on the vertex, and like them finely pubescent; the slender intermediate 
joints of the antenne and the different proportions of these joints are also important 
diagnostic characters. 
The three examples obtained are unfortunately in a bad state of preservation. 
11. Bryaxis designata. 
Piceo-rufa, elytris rufo-sanguineis, antennis pedibusque rufis, convexa, subtilissime pubescens; antennis maris 
articulis quinto sextoque elongatis, leviter incrassatis ; capite punctulato, bifoveolato, vertice inter foveolas 
convexo ; prothorace basi in media minutissime foveolato, utrinque foveola majore ; elytris stria suturali 
aliaque discoidali impressis; abdominis segmento basali sat elongato, quam secundum vix duplo longiore,

Hab. Guatemata, Las Mercedes (Champion). 
Head not foveolate in front, but with the vertex convex in the middle, the convexity 
extending forwards but not reaching the front, on either side of the convexity a small 
and shallow fovea. Thorax rather slender, as long as broad; with a very minute fovea 
at the base in the middle, and also a large distinct one on each side. The discoidal 
stria of the elytra is curvate, very fine, and extends more than half the length, though 
not reaching the hind margin. In the male the antenne have the fifth and sixth joints 
about equal in length, each about as long as 2-4 together, and a little thicker than 
those near them, and joints 9-11 form a long slender club ; in the female joints 5 and 6 
are elongate, but not thicker than the contiguous joints, each as long as the seventh 
and eighth together. The male has the metasternum distinctly impressed, while in the 
female it is flat behind. 
Mr. Champion secured seven examples of this insect. 
12. Bryaxis diversa. (Tab. I. fig. 14.) 
Rufo-testacea, elytris rufis, convexa, nitida, subtilissime pubescens; antennis maris articulis quinto sextoque 
elongatis, leviter dilatatis ; capite plano, trifoveolato, foveola frontali in clypei margine anteriore sita ; 
prothorace subgloboso, utrinque foveola parva, basi in media haud foveolata; elytris stria suturali aliaque 
discoidali ante apicem abbreviata, impressis; abdominis segmento basali sat elongato, quam secundum 
haud duplo longiore. 
Long. 13 millim. 
Hab. Panama, San Feliz, Tolé (Champion). 
Allied to B. reichet, but distinguished by the absence of a fovea on the base of the 
thorax, by a slight difference in the front of the head, and very different male antenne. 
On careful examination a very minute puncture can be detected in the position usually 
occupied by the median thoracic fovea. The front of the head is flat and shining, and 
appears slightly emarginate at the edge in front; on the deflexed anterior part there is 
a small fovea. In the male the fifth joint of the antenne is distinctly enlarged, and 
the sixth joint is still larger. At the extreme base of the elytron there is a puncture
