but with regular series of very fine punctures and with a slight punctuation on the 
interstices; the fine, short pubescence is less depressed than is usual in the Crypto- 
phagine. Whether the two specimens really belong to one species is somewhat 
doubtful, as the example from Pefia Blanca, though smaller and with feebler legs, 
has a more distinct punctuation on the interstices of the elytra. It may, however, be 
a female of P. parallelus. 
HENOTICUS. 
Henoticus, Thomson, Skand. Col. x. p. 67 (1870). 
This genus has hitherto included four or five rare species, one of these being from 
Mexico and the others distributed in the Palearctic and Nearctic regions. 
1. Henoticus monticola, sp. n. 
Oblongo-ovalis, crebrius pubescens, sat fortiter (nullo modo seriatim) punctatus ; elytris stria suturali subtili. 
Long. 23 millim. 
Hab. GuateMaLa, Quiché Mountains 9000 feet (Champion). 
Antenne with large concolorous club. Thorax strongly transverse, narrower than 
the elytra, moderately coarsely and not closely punctured, with the lateral serration 
very sharp, rather large ; there is a basal impression on each side, the two impressions 
being connected by a transverse depression close to the base. Elytra moderately 
closely and coarsely punctured, with very distinct pubescence. One specimen. 
This insect differs from the European H. serratus (Gyll.) by its larger size, clear 
reddish colour, less coarse and deep punctuation, and longer and thinner legs, as well 
as by the larger fourth joint of the hind feet. 
2. Henoticus mexicanus. 
Henoticus mexicanus, Reitter, Col. Hefte, xiii. p. 72 (1875) °. 
Hab. Mexico }!. 
From the description, this insect appears to be closely allied to H. monticola. 
3, Henoticus compactus, sp. n. 
Oblongo-ovalis, breviter pubescens, minus fortiter (nullo modo seriatim) punctatus ; elytris stria suturali 
subtili. 
Long. 23 millim. 
Hab. Guatema.a, Cahabon (Champion). 
Of this species we have received only one example; it is a male, and differs from 
H. monticola in its larger size and shorter pubescence, as well as in the structure of the 
hind feet, the joints of which are strongly obliquely truncate, and the third furnished
