Tenebrioides albomaculata, Reitter, Verh. Ver. Brinn, xili., Abhandl. p. 78°. 
Hab. British Honpuras, Belize (Blancaneaux) ; GUATEMALA, Yzabal (Sallé), Panzos 
(Champion, Conradt), Chacoj (Champion).—Sovttn America, Colombia }. 
48. Tenebroides complicatus, sp.n. (Tab. XIII. fig. 23.) 
Parvus, depressus, piceus, nitidus, supra testaceo-variegatus brevissime setulosus, antennis, tibiis tarsisque tes- 
taceis ; crebre punctatus; prothorace basin versus fortiter angustato. 
Long. 44 millim. 
Mas capite infra anterius longe piloso. 
Hab. Britisu Honptras (Blancaneauz); GuateMata, Volcan de Atitlan, Pantaleon, 
Zapote, Torola (Champion). 
Antenne with elongate, slender club, which is darker in colour than the basal portion. 
Head large, elongate, closely punctate, reddish in front. Thorax greatly narrowed 
behind ; anterior angles much produced ; lateral margin fine; basal margin not inter- 
rupted in the middle; the surface closely punctate, the colour blackish in the middle, 
broadly pale at the sides, narrowly so along the front margin. Elytra rather short and | 
broad, testaceous, with a black mark at the scutellum, a flammulate black mark on the 
disc, a smaller humeral mark, and a hamate lateral-posterior mark, all these dark 
marks nearly or quite connected with the large discoidal patch ; they are feebly striate 
and have a fine but numerous interstitial punctuation. The male has the whole of the 
front part of the head behind the mouth covered with fine, long, depressed hairs. 
Ten specimens were procured of this very distinct species. 
49. Tenebroides politus, sp. n. 
Piceus, supra viridi-cneus, nitidus; elytris politis, subtiliter striatis, interstitiis haud perspicue punctatis. 
Long. 5 millim. 
Hab. Guaremata, Pantaleon (Champion). 
Antenne with the basal joints dusky-red; the club nearly black, large, and with 
large sensitive are. Head duller than the thorax and elytra, somewhat sparingly punc- 
tured. Thorax rather strongly transverse, almost straight at the sides, a little narrowed 
behind, the hind angles nearly rectangular, the front angles slightly produced, broad, 
the lateral margin crenate, the basal margin entire, but almost interrupted in the 
middle ; the surface very shining, quite sparingly punctate. Elytra, when seen from 
the outer side, appearing striate, but seen from the other side looking as if bearing 
series of punctures without striation; the surface very polished, without interstitial 
punctuation. 
This is another very distinct species, of which only one example has been received. 
It is to a considerable extent intermediate between the division with basal margin 
uninterrupted, and that in which the basal margin is absent in the middle.
