The thorax of this species is impunctate, and each elytron has a sutural stria, which 
is described as “basali parva brevi.” From the description the species has no very 
striking characteristic, and it would be satisfactory if a careful examination of the type 
could be made. 
12. Homalodes clavulus, sp. n. (Tab. V. fig. 7.) 
Rotundatus, subconvexus, niger, nitidus; fronte punctulata, in medio subfoveolata, stria circulari antice inter- 
rupta; pronoto lateribus parum dense punctulatis, stria ante basin terminata ; elytris striis 14 subintegra, 
2 utrinque abbreviata, 3° brevi, subhumerali humerum jungente ; propygidio pygidioque leviter et parce 
punctatis ; prosterno antice dense, postice leviter, punctato ; mesosterno modice sinuato, stria antice late 
interrupta; tibiis anticis 4-dentatis. Long. 5$-6 millim. 
Hab. Guatremata, El Reposo 800 feet, San Isidro 1600 feet, San Juan in Vera Paz 
(Champion). 
Eight specimens. This is the smallest species of Homalodes yet recorded, its nearest 
allies being H. soulouguii and H. sobrinus ; from both of these it is easily known by the 
punctuation of the head and thorax, by the sinuosity in the mesosternum being less 
deep, and, above all, by the thoracic stria terminating before the base, and the marginal 
interstice being extremely narrow.
