SILVANOPHLGUS. 539 
5. Silvanophleus fraudator, sp. n. (Tab. XVII. fig. 10, 3.) 
Haud depressus, levigatus, piceo-niger ; elytris ante medium stramineo-maculatis; antennis basi apiceque 
testaceis; pedibus piceo-testaceis; prothorace elongato, basin versus angustato, utrinque posterius 
sub-bidenticulato. 
Long. vix 2 millim. 
Hab, GvatEMA.a, Pantaleon (Champion). 
Head short, epistomal line definite, marking off a very short epistome. Antenne 
short and stout, not clavate, but thicker from the sixth joint onwards; joints 6-10 
black, the others yellow. Thorax narrower than the elytra, much narrowed behind ; 
at the side in front of the base with a distinct small denticle, and just in front of 
it a second, more obscure, minute prominence; the surface is almost impunctate, the 
intra-lateral line fine but distinct. Elytra very polished, extremely finely striate ; 
the striz not perceptible at the apex. 
We have received four examples of this species. One of them is no doubt a male, 
as it has the head broader than the others and the antenne a little longer. 
In colour and general appearance this and the two following insects resemble certain 
species of Rhinophiwus and Rhinomalus, to which they do not, however, appear to be 
at all allied. 
6. Silvanophleus cognatus, sp. n. 
Haud depressus, nitidus, piceo-niger ; elytris ante medium stramineo-maculatis; antennis crassis, basi rufa ; 
prothorace elongato, basin versus angustato, utrinque posterius sub-bidenticulato ; elytris striatis. 
Long. vix 2 millim. 
Hab. Guatemaua, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
Very similar to S. fraudator, but readily distinguished by the striate elytra, and by 
the head and thorax being more distinctly punctate. The antenne are stout, and 
are thickened from the fourth joint onwards. Each elytron has five or six strise, the 
alternate ones being more distinct than the others. One specimen. 
7. Silvanophleus bembidium, sp. n. 
Haud depressus, leevigatus, nitidus, niger; elytris paulo ante et post medium stramineo-maculatis; pedibus 
piceis ; antennarum apice rufo; prothorace elongato; elytris unistriatis. 
Long. 2 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Senahu in Vera Paz (Champion). 
A remarkable little insect, with polished surface almost free from sculpture, a strongly 
constricted thorax, and a single, well-marked, intra-humeral stria on each elytron. The 
colour and general form give it some resemblance to the spotted species of the 
subgenus Lopha of Bembidium. The antenne are moderately long and are thickened 
from the fifth joint onwards; they are black, a little paler at the base, the apical joint 
red. Head highly polished and smooth. Thorax elongate and narrow, strongly
