FALLIA.—CONINOMUS. 631 
3. Fallia punctulata, sp. n. 
Ovalis, sat convexa, nigra, antennis pedibusque piceis, nitida, corpore parce irregulariter punctato. 
Long. 2 millim. 
Hab. GuateMata, Zapote (Champion); Panama, Caldera in Chiriqui (Champion). 
In this species the antenne and the legs are much more slender than in F. synthetica ; 
the antenne are quite distinctly 9-jointed, the fourth joint of the latter (which even in 
that species shows traces of consisting of two Joints) being replaced by two joints. 
The body is covered with a very irregular scattered punctuation. The margins of the 
thorax and elytra are less developed, and the epipleura are not so completely horizontal 
as in F. synthetica. The minute hind coxe appear to be placed entirely in the 
metasternum. ‘Two specimens.

Lathridius (subgen. Coninomus), Belon, Rev. Ent. Fr. 1897, p. 174. 
This genus includes, according to Belon, twenty-six representatives, and is largely 
represented in the Antipodes. Fall records three of the species as occurring in the 
United States.

2. Coninomus muticus, sp. n. 
Angustus, piceus, antennis pedibusque testaceis ; prothorace ad latera profunde inciso ; elytris seriatim fortiter 
profundeque punctatis, interstitiis haud carinatis. 
Long. 14 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 8000 feet (Champion). 
This small Coninomus may be placed next C. constrictus, from which, however, it is 
very distinct by the smaller size, narrower form, and the absence of carination of the 
elytral interstices. The antenne are very short, the club 2-jointed, very abrupt. 
The head is rather long, rugose, slightly sulcate along the middle, the sulcus ending 
in an obscure fovea ; eyes rather large, separated from the thorax by a space nearly
