LZEMOPHLEUS. 519 
Notwithstanding the great general resemblance of this species to LZ. doops and 
L. anticus, it is readily distinguished by the absence of a flattened disc to the elytra. 
There is no trace whatever of a carina limiting the outside of a flat area, as there is in 
the species mentioned ; but, instead, there is in LZ. iynodilis a very fine intra-humeral 
stria or carina. ‘The head is very broad and short; the prominent eyes are placed very 
near the thorax; the epistome is advanced in the middle, deeply excised at the attach- 
ment with the labrum; the latter is rounded in front and covers the mandibles. ‘The 
antenne are distinctly clavate in the female, but in the male the terminal three joints 
are longer, and the club is therefore more indistinct. ‘The thorax is strongly transverse, 
a little broader and more narrowed behind in the male than in the female. The elytra 
are highly polished, and this renders it very difficult to distinguish the extremely 
fine strie. 
The four specimens from Mexico agree fairly well, except as to the characters I have 
treated as sexual. There are only one or two examples from each of the other localities, 
and they all differ slightly from the type and from one another, but the differences are 
too small to be considered specific on such slight evidence. One of the specimens from 
San Juan has the eyes placed markedly in advance of the front of the thorax. 
13. Lemophleus puncticollis, sp. n. 
Testaceo-castaneus, nitidus, haud depressus; capite prothoraceque parce, minus subtiliter punctatis, hoc 
lateribus subrotundatis ; antennis clavatis; elytris striis suturali intra~-humeralique discretis. 
Long. 13 millim.

We have received only two specimens of this obscure insect, but I think the sexes 
are represented, the head being a little broader and the antennz a little longer in one 
example. It is distinguished from the preceding species, L. ignobilis, by the very 
distinct punctures on the middle of the thorax, by the less depressed form, and by the 
more rounded sides of the thorax. Thorax rounded at the sides and much narrowed 
behind, the intra-lateral stria very distinct. The sutural and intra-humeral strie are 
very distinct on the elytra, but there is no trace of an intra-lateral ridge. 
14. Lemophleus endomychus, sp. n. 
Castaneus, antennis pedibusque dilutioribus, politus, capite thoraceque parce punctatis; antennis clavatis ; 
prothorace minus fortiter transverso, basin versus angustato; elytris subtiliter striatis. 
Long. 13 millim. 
Hab. GuatemaLa, Duefias (Champion). 
Head small ; epistome margined in front, not angularly produced on each side of the 
labrum; this is small, and does not cover the rather small mandibles. The antenne 
are rather short, the terminal three joints distinctly thicker than the others. ‘Thorax 
a good deal narrowed behind, the side margin almost straight, scarcely visibly crenulate,
