CH@LOCRYPTUS.—ANTHEROPHAGUS. 595 
ventral segments are more densely and finely punctured, and the impression along the 
margin of the elytra is rather broader, and when looked at laterally the sculpture in it 
does not assume the appearance of crenulation. One example. 
4. Celocryptus discedens, sp.n. (Tab. XVIII. fig. 14.) 
Sordide ferrugineus, antennis, pedibus elytrisque testaceis; antennis articulis 9° et 10° nigris; subtiliter 
pubescens et punctatus, prothorace transverso. 
Long. 23 millim. 
Hab. Guaremata, Las Mercedes (Champion). 
Although extremely similar to C. pallens, this insect differs from it in several 
structural points and will no doubt form a distinct genus. ‘The legs are thicker, and 
the tibie curiously formed, being dilated some little distance beyond the knee, and 
towards the tip obliquely narrowed ; the middle coxe are more widely separated, the 
tarsal lobes are shorter, and the transverse impression on the thorax subobsolete. 
Antenne rather long, seventh joint perceptibly larger than the eighth or the sixth. 
Thorax narrowed behind, with a fovea on each side in front of the base, the two being 
connected by a rather vague transverse impression. Elytra with distinct fine punctua- 
tion and pubescence, scarcely seriate ; longitudinally depressed along the lateral margin. 
Under surface densely punctate. 
Only one specimen was obtained of this interesting little insect. It is no doubt a — 
male. 
Subfam. CRY PTOPHAGINA.. 
In this subfamily the tarsi have no lobes, either appendicular or other. I place in it 
certain forms in which the anterior acetabula are closed behind, though in most of the 
genera they are open. 
ANTHEROPHAGUS. 
Antherophagus, Latreille, Régne Anim. éd. 2, iv. p. 507 (1829). 
The few species of this genus are found in Europe and N. America; they are 
probably associated with bees. 
1. Antherophagus ochraceus. 
Antherophagus ochraceus, Melsh. Proc. Acad. Phil. ii. p. 115". 
Hab. Norra America, Pennsylvania}.—Mexico, Ciudad in Durango 8100 feet 
(Forrer) ; GuatemaLa, Quezaltenango 7800 feet (Champion). 
The two examples received are in a bad state of preservation. If distinct from the 
North-American A. ochraceus, they are very near to it.
