larger than they are in Rhinomalus. Both genera differ from Lemophieus by the more 
approximate front coxe, as well as by the prosternum being slightly bent upwards 
behind the coxe, whereas in Lemophleus it is quite flat. 
1. Rhinophleus productus. 
Lemophleus productus, Grouv. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1876, p. 491, t. 8. fig. 7 *. 
Rhinomalus productus, Grouv. op. cit. 1896, p. 200°. 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Sallé), Motzorongo (Flohr); GuatemaLa, Zapote (Champion). 
—Brazit, New Friburg 1. 
Distinguished by the four-spotted elytra, comparatively short antenne, and by the 
head being less rostrate, and not sinuate on each side over the insertion of the antenne. 
Mr. Champion procured eight specimens at Zapote. I have seen only two examples 
from Mexico, and from South America none, but M. Grouvelle has identified the 
specimen from Cordova in the Sallé collection ; it is indeed marked “ type,” but 
improperly. 
2, Rhinophleus gracilis, sp. n. 
Testaceus, politus, fere levigatus; antennis gracilibus extrorsum elytrorumque medio fuscescentibus. 
Long. 2 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Las Mercedes (Champion). 
This is very different from any of the allied species, and has the eyes smaller and less 
coarsely faceted. The head is but little produced; it is very little sinuate at the 
sides ; the epistomal line is distinct and angulate in the middle; the surface is very 
shining, and there are very few punctures. The antenne are long and slender, with 
the terminal three joints a good deal thicker than the others. ‘Thorax nearly as long as 
broad, much narrowed behind, the intra-lateral line quite distinct; impunctate, Hlytra 
with the intra-humeral and sutural strie fine, the other striz obsolete, punctuation 
wanting. One specimen, in a poor state of preservation. 
3. Rhinophleus salpingoides. 
Lemophleus salpingoides, Grouv. Ann, Soc. Ent. Fr. 1876, p. 490, t. 8. fig. 6°. 
Rhinomalus salpingoides, Grouv. op. cit. 1896, p. 200°. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa (Sallé); Guaremana, Zapote (Champion).— Brazit, New Friburg?. 
Mr. Champion procured fourteen examples of this species at Zapote; they exhibit 
but little variation. The antenne are longer in some specimens, and these are no doubt 
males; one individual is much paler than the others, and is probably immature. The 
specimen from Sallé’s collection is labelled ‘ salpingoides” in M. Grouvelle’s hand- 
writing; it is a very large, pallid example, and is a little more sparingly punctured 
than the Guatemalan exponents. I have seen none from South America.
