550 CUCUJID. 
and short, abruptly narrowed behind, but with the neck very broad; epistome narrow ; 
surface shining, sparingly punctate, with a fine carina extending from the antenna to 
the vertex along the inner margin of the eye, and in the middle with two longitudinal 
strie extending from the epistome to near the vertex. Thorax about as long as broad, 
a little narrowed behind, with six denticles at the side; surface rather coarsely and 
closely punctured, slightly bi-impressed on each side; the two middle depressions 
connected behind by a very feeble transverse depression. Scutellum very broad. 
Elytra with very regular rows of moderately large punctures separated by narrow 
interstices. 
We have received two specimens from Nicaragua, one of which is very immature 
and badly preserved. There is only one example from Belize, and it is by no means 
clear that it does not belong to a different species, as it differs a little from the type in 
almost all the details of colour, sculpture, and form. We have figured this variety. 
2. Kuplatamus humeralis, sp. n. 
Depressus, niger, nitidus, antennarum basi rufa; pedibus piceo-testaceis; elytris plaga magna basali flava, 
seriatim regulariter punctatis, seriebus ante apicem desinentibus. 
Long. 3} millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Closely allied to E. debilis, but, besides the colour differences, the punctuation is 
more effaced on the apical portion of the elytra. There is no pubescence on our 
specimens of E. humeralis, but, as they are badly preserved, this may be due to 
abrasion. ‘Two examples. 
8. Euplatamus longicornis, sp.n. (Tab. XVII. fig. 16.) 
Elongatus, depressus, pubescens, niger; pedibus testaceis; elytris fuscis; dense sat fortiter punctatus ; 
antennarum articulo basali elongato. 
Long. 4} millim. 
Hab. British Honpuras, Belize (Blancaneaur); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 
(Champion). 
Readily distinguished from the preceding two species by the more elongate form, 
and especially by the longer basal joint of the antenne. ‘The antenne are altogether 
longer than they are in the other species of the genus; each of the joints, except the 
second and third, is more than twice as long as broad, and the basal joint is almost as 
long as the three following together. 
We have received only two specimens ; I doubt whether they are really conspecific. 
The Chiriqui example has the antenne less elongate, yellow at the base, with the basal 
joint distinctly shorter and thicker than it is in the type from Belize.
