TRIMIOPSIS.—DALMODES. 39 
8. Trimiopsis clavicornis. 
Rufo-castanea, subtiliter pubescens; antennis articulo decimo magno, undecimo acuminato; capite transversim 
subquadrato, anterius profunde depresso, clypeo elevato. 
Long. 12 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Senahu (Champion). 
Antenne very short, the ninth joint very strongly transverse, the tenth joint large, 
much larger than the preceding one, very strongly transverse, as broad as the base of 
the large terminal joint; this latter strongly acuminate, and slightly irregular in form, 
one side being rather more curvate than the other. Head short and broad, largely and 
deeply impressed in front, the more elevated vertex projecting as an angle into the 
depression, the clypeal margin largely raised. Thorax rather slender, narrower than 
the head, much narrowed behind, with a deep sinuate impression in front of the base. 
Elytra short and broad, the shoulders elevated, the depression within these latter short, 
the sutural stria scarcely foveolate at the base. 
Two examples. 
4. Trimiopsis femoralis. 
Rufo-castanea, subtiliter pubescens ; antennis articulo decimo magno, inequali, undecimo acuminato ; capite 
subquadrato, vertice convexo, fronte profundius irregulariter depresso. 
Long. 1} millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, El Tumbador (Champion). 
Head scarcely broader than the thorax, the vertex very convex; the clypeal margin 
strongly raised and connected on either side bya small process to the anterior acuminate 
part of the convex vertex, so that the depressed space is rather less indistinctly divided 
into a lateral portion on each side and a median portion placed more anteriorly. This 
insect is closely allied to 7. clavicornis, but differs somewhat in the structure of the 
head; and the tenth joint of the antennz seems to be more unequal, that is, it has one 
of its sides more conspicuously longer than the other; the terminal joint is similar in 
the two species. The head of 7. femoralis is not quite so broad as in 7. clavicornis, 
and the middle femur is evidently inflated. This latter character may probably be 
peculiar to the male. 
Unique. 
DALMODES. 
Dalmodes, Reitter, Verh. Ver. Briinn, xx. p. 197 (1882). 
This genus has been recently established for two species, one Brazilian, the other 
Mexican. It closely resembles Batrisus, and I think its place will probably prove to 
be nearer to that genus than to Huplectus. 
1. Dalmodes brevicollis. (Tab. I. fig. 21.) 
Rufus, fulvo-pubescens, sat conyexus ; capite transverso ex parte majore depresso ; prothorace transyerso, ante 
basin transversim sulcato; elytris stria suturali impressis. 
Long. 13 millim.
