590 CRYPTOPHAGID. 
7. Tomarus cruciatus. 
Tomarus cruciatus, Reitter, Col. Hefte, xiii. p. 86 (1875) *. 
Hab. Mexico }. 
I judge this to be a species allied to 7. lateralis and T. pictipennis, but this is far 
from certain. 
8. Tomarus picticornis, sp. n. 
Fulvo-ferrugineus, pubescens ; elytris macula humerali, pedibus antennisque testaceis, his articulis ante clavam 
nigris ; prothorace fortiter transverso, basin versus angustato. 
Long. fere 2 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 4000 feet (Champion). 
Antenne rather stout, hairy, yellow, the three joints before the club black. Thorax 
much narrower than the elytra, twice as broad as long, narrowed behind, and a little 
rounded at the sides; front angles touching the rather small eyes; surface finely 
and rather closely punctured ; basal impressions minute, punctiform, definite. Elytra 
scantily and very finely punctured, hairy, of a uniform brown colour, with a small 
yellow humeral spot. Metasternal process not impressed. 
Four specimens have been found of this very distinct species. 
9. Tomarus discoideus, sp. n. 
Convexus, testaceus, antennis articulis 7°-10™ nigris, elytris nigro-variegatis, prothorace macula media vel 
majore vel minore nigra; prothorace transverso, basin versus angustato; elytris sat crebre minus obsolete 
punctatis. 
Long. vix 2 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Motzorongo in Vera Cruz (Flohr); Guatemana, Senahu and San Juan 
in Vera Paz (Champion). ' 
Antenne with the two joints before the club and the first two joints of the club 
black, terminal joint yellow. Head small, much narrower than the thorax. Thorax 
small, much narrower than the elytra, a good deal narrower behind, reddish, with a 
black mark on the middle, lateral margin more or less black; shining, rather sparingly 
punctured ; basal impressions definite. Elytra shining, sparingly pubescent, yellow, 
with a dark mark at the side becoming obliterated at the suture, and with a smaller 
dark mark before the apex; punctuation distinct, rather coarse. Six specimens. 
This insect differs from TJ. lateralis in the rather larger size, the colour of the 
antenne and thorax, and the rather less transverse form of the thorax. 
10. Tomarus confertus, sp. n. 
Testaceus, antennis articulis 9° et 10° fuscis, elytris nigro-variegatis, prothorace macula discoidali nigra ; 
subtiliter pubescens, crebrius subtiliter punctatus ; prothorace transverso, elytris multo angustiore. 
Long. 2 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion).
