14. Gonicelus latus, sp. n.

elytris fere obsolete seriatim punctatis.

This is a very distinct species, on account of the broad form, the dense pubescence, 
and the more obsolete sculpture. It appears, however, to be structurally very near to 
G. parnoides. The antenne are rather long. ‘he thorax is large, the front angles but 
little produced, the hind angles slightly acute; the marginal line is not interrupted 
in front, and is continued along the sides for half their length in a definite manner ; 
there is a depression in front of the scutellum; near the hind angles there are a few 
(10 or 12) large punctures: this is all the sculpture, the surface being clothed with fine 
pubescence. A similar clothing obscures the sculpture of the elytra, but the series of 
punctures are very distinct at thesides. ‘The flanks of the prothorax show no sculpture, 
only a fine pubescence. The prosternal process is rather broad between the coxa and 
is bent upwards. ‘The metasternum is convex, its channel fine. 
One female. It has a small but very definite excision of the front tibia below the 
knee. 
15. Gonicelus guatemalenus, sp. n. 
Oblongo-ovalis, sat convexus, pube brevi vestitus, niger ; antennis pedibusque piceis ; prothorace minus subtiliter 
punctato, punctis majoribus versus latera minus discrete seriatis; elytris seriebus punctorum minus 
grossis ; metasterno late profundeque impresso. 
Long. 63 millim.

We have received only one specimen of this fine species; it is a male. Allied to 
G. parnoides, from which it is readily distinguished by the black colour, the different 
thoracic sculpture, and the remarkably large impression on the metasternum. The 
flanks of the prothorax have a very fine sculpture, and there are also some larger but 
subobsolete punctures on this part. The prothorax has a somewhat coarse punctuation 
on the front part, the lateral punctures are not very large, and the smooth spaces between 
them are not very definite and but little convex ; the anterior margin is distinct in the 
middle ; the front angles are short, the hind angles rectangular. The inner series of 
punctures on the elytra are distinct, though fine. The head and front legs are formed 
in the male much as they are in G. parnoides. 
16. Gonicelus vestitus, sp. n. 
Ovalis, parum convexus, piceus, pube pallidiore elongata vestitus; antennis pedibusque rufis; prothorace 
minore, elytris paullo angustiore ; elytris seriebus punctorum internis distinctis. 
Long. 53 millim.
