60 SCYDMANIDA. 
much elevated vertex. Thorax rather long, becoming almost gradually broader from 
the front to the base, rather densely pubescent. Elytra rather long and narrow, forming 
with the thorax an almost continuous outline; the basal depression scarcely present, so 
that there is scarcely any humeral elevation; their pubescence rather long, fine, and 
moderately dense. Legs rather short. The pectoral lamina strongly elevated in 
front. 
Five examples. 
36. Euconnus fustiger. (Tab. II. fig. 18.) 
Castaneus, dense pubescens; antennis parum elongatis, crassiusculis, clava magna, lata; prothorace conico ; 
elytris ad basin utrinque brevissime depressis. 
Long. vix 2 millim. 
Hab. GuatEMALA, Capetillo (Champion). 
Antenne stout; joints 3-7 small, similar to one another; the four terminal joints. 
forming a stout, elongate, loosely articulated club, scarcely broader towards fhe 
extremity; the terminal joint moderately long. Head rather short, very densely 
pubescent. Thorax small, conical, narrow in front, becoming regularly broader to 
the base, densely pubescent. Elytra short and broad; with a short fovea at the 
extreme base of each, causing the shoulder to appear slightly elevated. 
Closely allied to EZ. medialis, but readily distinguished by the shorter and broader 
form and the stouter abruptly clavate antenne. Unique. 
37. Euconnus hoplites. 
Latiusculus, piceo-castaneus, antennis pedibusque dilutioribus, dense pubescens; antennis crassiusculis, clava 
quadri-articulata, abrupta; prothorace conico; pectore processu elongato armato. 
Long. vix 2 millim. 
Hab. (GUATEMALA, San Juan in Vera Paz (Champion). 
Antenne with the second joint as long as the third and fourth joints together; the 
fifth and sixth joints only slightly longer than the third and fourth, the seventh evidently 
longer but not broader ; joints 8-10 longer and broader, subequal, each quite as long as 
broad; the terminal joint a little longer than the tenth. Head very densely pubescent. 
Thorax regularly conic, rather longer than broad at the base, the latter transversely 
convex and quite unimpressed; densely pubescent. Elytra with a moderately close, 
rather long, pubescence; almost unimpressed at the base, so that the shoulders are 
only very slightly prominent. Breast armed in the middle with a rather long promi- 
nence, the front margin of which is directed obliquely backwards, the hind margin 
being perpendicular, though slightly curvate. 
Unique.
