LOBERUS. 583 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa (H. H. Smith), Tapachula (Hége); Britisa Honpuras, Belize, 
Rio Hondo (Blancaneaux); GuatEMALA, Cahabon, San Juan, Senahu, Teleman, and 
Tamahu in Vera Paz (Champion). 
Readily distinguished from L. guatemalenus by the colour, a broad space (quite one- 
third of the length) at the tip and a large humeral mark being clear yellow. The 
punctuation and pubescence are much like those of Z. guatemalenus. From L. humeralis, 
var. /etus, which is nearest in colour, L. sellatus may be readily distinguished by the 
sculpture and pubescence of the elytra, the serial arrangement of both being but 
indistinct. About twenty specimens. 
4. Loberus cryptophagus, sp. n. 
Suboblongus, ferrugineus ; elytris subopacis, crebrius subtiliter punctatis et pubescentibus, pubescentia haud 
seriata, singulo in medio vix perspicue infuscato. 
Long. 23 millim. 
Hab. GuatemMata, Zapote (Champion). 
This insect can only be mistaken for a pallid variety of ZL. sellatus. Besides the 
colour-distinctions, it is a little larger and broader; the pubescence and punctuation 
are even less serial, so that though we have received only one specimen, I think it is 
likely to prove a distinct species. 
5. Loberus pallidus, sp. n. 
Rufus, elytris pallidis, antennis clava obscuriore; elytris subtiliter seriatim punctatis et pubescentibus, 
pubescentia brevi. 
Long. 23-22 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Sallé), Jalapa (Hoge), Motzorongo (flohr); GUATEMALA, 
San Gerdnimo, Chiacam and San Juan in Vera Paz, Guatemala city, Aceituno 
(Champion). 
Smaller than LZ. chiriquensis, and distinguished by the very pallid elytra. Antenne 
with the club-joints darker in colour than the others. Thorax narrower in front than 
at the base, scarcely at all constricted at the sides behind; very finely punctate, Elytra 
with fine, definite punctuation and pubescence, the depressed pubescence short, so that 
the erect setee are unusually conspicuous. There is no difference between the serial 
and interstitial punctuation near the suture. Highteen specimens. 
6. Loberus suturalis, sp. n. 
Suboblongus, testaceus, elytrorum sutura anguste nigricante, antennis articulis 9° et 10° nigris; elytris 
subtiliter punctatis et pubescentibus, punctatura sat conspicue seriata. 
Long. 2 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa (H. H. Smith, Hoge), Motzorongo (flchr); Guatemata, La 
Tinta, Chiacam (Champion); British Honpuras, Belize (Llancaneaux); Nicaragua, 
Chontales (Janson).
