4, Kuconnus gravidus. (Tab. II. fig. 1.) 
Rufus, capite, prothorace antennisque nigricantibus, pube elongata erecta laxe vestitus; antennis elongatis, 
hirsutis, apicem versus crassis, haud abrupte clavatis; prothorace subconico, basi utrinque foveolato; 
elytrorum humeris elevatis. 
Long. 22 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui, Caldera in Chiriqui (Champion). 
Antenne thickly covered with hair, nearly black, the basal portion usually very dark 
infuscate-red, and the apical joint sordid red; the seventh joint rather larger than the 
sixth, as long as broad, the three following joints transverse; the terminal joint still 
stouter, elongate, acuminate, in the male bearing at the base on one side a large fovea. 
Head elongate, much narrowed behind, the vertex very densely pubescent, the pubes- 
cence dark in colour. Thorax elongate, longer than broad, broader from the front to 
behind the middle, bearing much erect pubescence, with a round fovea on each side 
near the base. Elytra with fine, elongate, erect, scanty pubescence. 
We have received over twenty examples of this species. ‘The fovea of the male 
antenna seems to vary somewhat in size and form, and is occasionally accompanied 
by a plication or elevation of the surface beyond it. ‘The specimens are much decayed, 
and possibly the head, thorax, and antenne may be naturally of a lighter tint, as in 
some examples the thorax agrees in colour with the elytra. 
5. Kuconnus torquatus. 
Rufus, capite, prothorace antennisque nigricantibus, his articulo ultimo rufescente, pube elongata erecta laxe 
vestitus ; antennis crassiusculis, hirsutis, apicem versus paullo crassioribus, haud discrete clavatis ; pro- 
thorace sat elongato, lateribus rotundatis. 
Long. 24-22 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, El Tumbador, Las Mercedes, San Isidro, Zapote, Panima (Cham- 
pion). 
This species is very closely allied to L. gravidus, but is slightly smaller, and has the 
antenne less elongate and less thickened externally ; and the sides of the thorax appear 
to be more rounded, so that the shape of this part is less conical. I conclude I have 
both sexes before me; if so, the male has longer antenne and a more conical thorax 
than the female, and is consequently very similar to the female of E. gravidus; the 
female of H. torquatus is, however, readily distinguished from that species. These 
insects may possibly be distinct species and not the sexes, and my description is drawn 
from the form having the shorter antenne. Ten examples. 
6. EKuconnus subclavatus. (Tab. II. fig. 2.) 
Rufus, capite prothoraceque piceis, pube erecta laxe vestitus; antennis sat elongatis, crassiusculis, clava vix 
discreta quadri-articulata ; prothorace haud magno, suboblongo. 
Long. 24 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, La Tinta, Senahu (Champion).
