242 HISTERID. 
IDOLIA. 
Idolia, Lewis, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 5th ser. xvi. p. 214 (1885). 
This genus was proposed for two species, one from Honduras and one from Brazil ; 
two others are now added from Central America. The different species are found 
under the bark of trees. 
1. Idolia antennata, sp.n. (Tab. VII. fig. 15.) 
Orbiculato-globosa, nitida, supra levis; antenne clava magna ; fronte plana, margine lateraliter anguste elevato ; 
prosterno minutissime punctulato at transversim tenuissime strigoso, utrinque striato; mesosterno stria 
integra metasternoque undique punctulatis. Long. 2 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, El Tumbador 2500 feet (Champion). 
This species is very similar to J. gibba, Lewis; but the club of the antenna is as large 
again, the entire surface beneath is finely punctulate, and the mesosternal stria is well- 
marked and complete. Two examples. 
2. Idolia scitula, sp.n. (Tab. VII. fig. 16.) 
Orbiculato-globosa, nigro-picea, nitida, supra levis, antennis pedibusque dilutioribus; fronte margine utrinque 
elevato, antice immarginata, impressa; scutello triangulari, parum magno, levi; prosterno lateraliter 
striato; mesosterno stria integra, tenuissima; metasterno crebre punctulato. Long. 23 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet (Champion). 
This species is larger than the preceding and has the frontal stria less widely inter- 
rupted. It is also broader, which makes the outline appear, when viewed from above, 
almost perfectly circular. Across the forehead there is a fine angular line, dividing the 
surface into two parts, the anterior portion of which is slightly depressed: this is a well- 
marked specific character. The mesosternal stria is complete, but extremely fine. 
One specimen. 
3. Idolia gibba. 
Idolia levigata, Lewis, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 5th ser. xvi. p. 214° (1885) (nec Payk.). 
Idolia gibba, Lewis, Ent. Monthly Mag. xxiii. p. 64 (1886). 
Hab. Mexico, Tapachula in Chiapas (//ége); Brrriso Honpuras, R. Sarstoon (Blan- 
caneaux); GUATEMALA, Zapote (Champion); Honpuras!. 
Five examples.
