520 CUCUJIDE. 
distinctly more raised near the hind angles; the intra-lateral carina well-marked, and 
between it and the side margin a more than usually distinct fovea. lytra not 
flattened, with a well-marked sutural stria, an intra-humeral stria, and one or two. 
more indistinct striz between them. One specimen. 
Distinguished from L. puncticollis by the indistinct punctuation of the thorax, and 
the very evident fovea on each side. On comparison numerous slighter differences in 
form are seen. 
15. Lemophleus clavicornis, sp.n. (Tab. XVI. fig. 17, 2.) 
Subconvexus, castaneo-testaceus, nitidus, fere impunctatus; antennis clavatis, brevibus ; prothorace brevissimo, 
lateribus fortiter rotundatis; elytris striis tribus subtilibus ornatis; pedibus anterioribus et intermediis 
minus late distantibus. 
Long. 13 millim. 
Hab. Guaremata, San Juan in Vera Paz (Champion). 
This little beetle is unlike a Lemophleus in consequence of the less depressed form, 
and the short thorax with rounded sides. It is most like LZ. ¢gnobilis, from which it 
differs by the distinct epistomal line, and the less widely separated front and hind legs. 
The antenne are short, with the terminal three joints much broader than those 
preceding. ‘The head is small, the epistome separated by a very distinct suture. The 
very short thorax is much rounded at the front angles; the hind angles are minutely 
prominent; the surface is sparingly, very finely punctate. ‘The elytra have three or 
four very fine striz, the sutural one being very indistinct. | 
16. Leemophleus immersus, sp. n. (Tab. XVI. fig. 18.) 
Angustus, haud depressus, piceo-niger, elytris stramineis; antennarum basi pedibusque sordide rufis ; 
prothorace haud transverso, basin versus angustato ; elytris obsolete striatis. 
Long. fere 2 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2500 to 4000 feet (Champion). 
Of this very distinct species we have but one specimen. I presume it to be a female, 
the mandibles being unusually small, and the labrum also quite small. The head is 
immersed in the thorax quite to the eyes; the epistome is emarginate in front and 
denticulate on each side of the labrum. The antenne are rather long, moderately 
stout, thicker towards the tip, not distinctly clavate. Thorax elongate, narrowed 
behind, transversely convex, near the sides with a fine carina, on the middle with 
distinct but distant punctures. Elytra pallid, very finely striate, without intra-lateral 
carina. . 
I am unable to distinguish more than four joints on either of the feet of this peculiar 
species; so that it seems probable that the basal joint may have in this case entirely 
disappeared ; this is the more remarkable as the following joint (7. e. the basal one as 
shown in fig. 18) is unusually elongate.
