314 NITIDULID. 
11. Stelidota fortis, sp. n. 
Oblongo-ovalis, convexa, nigra, antennis pedibusque piceo-rufis, tarsis dilutioribus; elytris ad basin vix 
sulcatis, seriatim minus breviter pubescentibus. 
Long. 4 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Thorax not explanate at the sides except in front, the sides in front greatly rounded 
and narrowed, the base slightly sinuate on each side, the surface densely and deeply 
punctate. Elytra with the interstices scarcely elevated except behind, but with the 
serial pubescence rather long; the serial punctuation coarse, and so close as to be 
in some places rather irregular. Axillary space of the metasternum unusually 
elongate. 
The individuals are larger than those of any other species of the genus I have seen. 
We have received only two specimens ; I think they are the sexes; if so the male tibie 
only just perceptibly differ from those of the female. 
Found, like most of its congeners, in rotten fruit. 
12. Stelidota clavigera, sp. n. 
Oblongo-ovalis, convexa, nitida, fusco-testacea; antennis nigris, basi rufa, clava majore; elytris leviter 
sulcatis. 
Long. 2? millim. 
Hab. Guatrmata, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
Antenne with the club quite black and larger than usual. Thorax very convex, 
with the sides narrowly explanate, the base not sinuate, the hind angles rectangular. 
Elytra with the serial punctuation distinct; the serial pubescence is rather long, the 
outer of the two rows of hair forming each series very obsolete and placed near the 
inner, so that at first sight the series appear each to be formed of a single row of hairs ; 
the interstices are a little elevated even at the base. The axillary space is quite small. 
The hind legs of the male are but little curved, while the apical dilatation extends half 
the length of the tibia. 
13. Stelidota chontalensis, sp. n. 
Oblongo-ovalis, minus lata, convexa, piceo-ferruginea, antennarum basi pedibusque testaceis, elytris ad basin 
et ultra medium vage rufo-maculatis ; prothorace basi truncata, lateribus haud explanatis ; elytris obsolete 
sculpturatis, tantum ad apicem sulcatis, seriatim regulariter, subtiliter pilosis. 
Long. 2-24 millim. 
Hab. Nicaraeua, Chontales (Janson). 
Antenne infuscate externally. Thorax not much emarginate in front, the anterior 
angles very little prominent, the sides straight behind, the surface very convex trans- 
versely, the sides not at all explanate, the base nearly straight, the hind angles 
rectangular; rather deeply and coarsely, not densely punctate. LElytra with the serial
