LAMOPHLEUS. O17 
thorax are highly polished and only very obsoletely punctate. The intra-lateral carina 
of the elytra is quite distinct. 
7. Lemophleus hoplites, sp. n. 
Deplanatus, niger vel piceus, nitidus ; elytris stramineis, leviter striatis; antennis haud clavatis, sed apicem 
versus leviter incrassatis. 
Long. 24-3 millim. 
Mas, mandibulis subtus ad basin processu descendente armatis. 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Sallé); Guatmmata, Cerro Zunil, Zapote, San Gerdnimo 
(Champion). 
Antenne rather long, from the fifth to the eleventh joints slightly thicker, but the 
three terminal joints not forming a club, and scarcely at all longer than those pre- 
ceding. Head and thorax flat, extremely shining, sparingly but distinctly punctate. 
Labrum large, rounded in front. Thorax strongly transverse, a good deal narrowed 
behind, intra-lateral stria very distinct. Elytra pale straw-colour, the shoulders forming 
a minute denticle, intra-lateral carina very fine and visible only at the base. Striz very 
fine, without any trace of punctuation. Fifteen specimens. 
The peculiar process on the male mandibles exists in two forms—the one we have 
figured, where it is large and conspicuous, and another in which it is quite small and 
would escape observation if not looked for. The black colour of the anterior parts 
and the thicker antenne readily distinguish L. hoplites from L. castaneipennis, Grouv. 
A specimen in Sallé’s collection was, I believe, formerly considered by M. Grouvelle 
to be the female of Parandrita capito; but he informs me that he is convinced this 
determination was erroneous. 
8. Lemophleus boops, sp..n. (Tab. XVI. figg. 15, 15.) 
Castaneus, thorace piceo, elytris testaceis, antennis pedibusque rufis, illis leviter clavatis; minus depressus, 
capite brevi, lato, oculis prominulis; prothorace fortiter transverso, basin versus angustato, linea intra- 
laterali subtiliter elevata ; elytris stria suturali carinaque intra-laterali subtilibus. 
Long. 2 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Senahu (Champion). 
Head strongly narrowed in front, so as to be almost triangular ; epistome deeply 
excised over the labrum, which is large and nearly covers the mandibles. Antenne 
moderately long; third joint distinctly longer than the second, the three joints of the 
club a little longer and broader than those preceding. ‘Thorax rather convex trans- 
versely. The strie of the elytra, other than the sutural, and the external carina are 
very indistinct. ‘Ihe tibiae are extremely slender. The under surface is highly polished. 
Two specimens, probably males. 
This species is very similar to Z. anticus, but the form is more convex, and the eyes 
are not free behind, but supported by a very distinct lobe of the head.
