LEMOPHLM@US. 923 
carina very fine, the disc distinctly and moderately sparingly punctured. Elytra very 
shining, the striation very fine and indistinct. 
I do not know the sex of the only individual we have received. It is distinguished 
from its immediate allies by its very fine striation. Although the strie are, in conse- 
quence of this, not very easy of discrimination, there appear to be, as in the allies, five 
between the suture and shoulder, separated by equal interstices. 
23. Leemophleus celatus, sp. n. (Tab. XVI. fig. 20.) 
Parvus, subdepressus, nitidus, flavus, obsolete punctatus ; antennis filiformibus, subinfuscatis; elytris striatis, 
striis ad basin obsoletis, postice profundis. 
Long. vix 14 millim. 
Hab. Guatemaua, Zapote (Champion). 
Very similar to L. flavescens; but, as it is more depressed, and as the alternate strie 
of the elytra are represented only by extremely fine linear punctures almost joined so 
as to make striz, this species to a considerable extent connects this little group of 
peculiar Lemophlwi with the more ordinary forms of the genus. The antenne are 
nearly as long as the body, very slightly thicker towards the tip, but the terminal joints 
are not different from the others in length or form. Head only very sparingly punctate ; 
epistomal line distinct ; eyes large, nearly touching the thorax. ‘Thorax very short, 
sparingly and finely punctate; the intra-lateral carina, though fine, quite distinct. 
Elytra rather narrow, the intra-humeral stria deep and broad at its commencement, 
which, however, is distinctly behind the base, and between this and the suture, with 
two other strize deep behind, but quite obsolete at the base. 
The large, convex facets of the eyes are remarkable in this minute insect. 
24. Lemophleus annectens, sp. n. 
Rufescens, subdepressus, nitidus, parce punctatus, elytris transversim fuscescentibus; antennis clavatis, medio 
nigris ; prothorace basin versus fortiter angustato ; elytris subtiliter striatis. 
Long. 2 millim. 
Hab, Guatemata, Cerro Zunil 4000 feet (Champion). 
A small Lemophiwus having the appearance of L. flavescens, but apparently more 
allied to L. alticola, the thorax being of the form found in that group of species. 
Antenne rather short, the three terminal joints longer and stouter than those preceding 
them; from the fourth onwards the joints are almost black in colour, but at the 
extremity the colour is again pallid. Head very finely punctate; epistomal line 
extremely deep. Thorax much narrower than the elytra, and much narrowed behind, 
the front margin not quite straight, the sides much rounded, the hind angles exces. 
sively small, each, as it were, forming an extremely minute denticle a little in front of 
the base, the intra-lateral carina fine but distinct, the punctuation scanty and fine, 
Elytra not deplanate, and without intra-lateral carina, each with five distinct strie
