complete absence of pubescence. We have received only two examples, but they are 
male and female; the male is very much longer than the female, and has a well-marked 
supplementary apical segment. We figure the female, as the male has lost the club of 
the antenne. 
2. Cillzus prolongatus, sp.n. (Tab. IX. fig. 1, 2.) 
Omnino perdepressus, elongatus, parallelus, pubescens, sat nitidus, fusco-niger, pedibus sordide testaceis, 
elytris basin versus ferrugineis ; fortiter punctatus.

Head scarcely at all narrower behind the eyes, very flat, coarsely, rather sparingly, 
punctured. ‘Thorax quadrate, the lateral margins straight, fimbriate, the angles slightly — 
obtuse and feebly rounded, the surface coarsely, rather sparingly punctured. Scutellum 
short, punctate across the middle. Elytra nearly twice as long as the thorax, rather 
coarsely punctate, the punctuation subserial, more irregular at the apex than near the 
base and suture. Hind body more finely punctate, with elongate depressed pubescence. 
One female from each locality. 
8. Cillzus zunilensis, sp. n. (Tab. IX. fig. 2, 2.) | 
Perdepressus, elongatus, parallelus, pubescens, dense punctatus, subopacus, ferrugineus, elytrorum basi 
flavescente, apice nigricante. 
Long. 43 millim. 
Hab. GuatEma.a, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
This is closely allied to C. prolongatus, but is no doubt a distinct species, as the 
differences in minor details are numerous. The head is moderately coarsely, rather 
densely punctate. The thorax is not quite so long as broad, closely punctate. The 
elytra and hind body are more closely and finely punctate; the yellow colour on the 
base of the former is contrasted rather strongly with the colour of the apical portion, 
and the pubescence is flavescent there, while on the darker part it is nearly black. 
One female.

This genus is limited to the New World, where it occurs from the United States of 
North America to South Brazil, and has several species in the Antilles. ‘The described 
species are only thirteen or fourteen in number. Most of the examples obtained by 
Mr. Champion were found upon flowers.
