304 • SEBETCOENIA. 



beyond the base of the prothorax, joint 3 narrow, slightly longer than 2, 4-10 rather broadly triangular. 

 Prothorax a little broader than long, the sides gradually converging from the base, rounded anteriorly ; 

 * the hind angles moderately produced, scarcely divergent, blunt at the tip, carinate above ; the surface 

 finely, sparsely punctate, deeply canaliculate behind. Scutellum sparsely punctured. Elytra moderately 

 long, narrowing from about the middle ; deeply punctate-striate, the punctures fine and closely placed ; 

 the interstices convex throughout, thickly punctured. Beneath somewhat closely punctate. 

 Length 8|, breadth 2| millim. ( $ .) 



Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 



One specimen, which has been examined by Dr. Candeze and returned as unknown 

 to him. Allied to A. bivittatus, but larger and stouter and very differently coloured, 

 the elytral interstices convex and thickly punctured, the thorax deeply canaliculate 

 behind and with the hind angles obtuse at the tip. 



6. Anoplischiopsis luteus. 



Moderately elongate, rather convex, shining ; testaceous, the scutellum and a large patch at the middle of the 

 base of the prothorax infuscate in one specimen, the antennae black or brownish, with the basal two joints 

 testaceous, the legs testaceous, the under surface testaceous or ferruginous ; above and beneath somewhat 

 thickly clothed with fulvous hairs. Head convex, densely and rather coarsely punctured, the frontal 

 carina moderately prominent, slightly flexed downwards in the middle ; antenna? rather short, joint 3 

 slightly longer than 2, 4-10 somewhat broadly triangular. Prothorax a little broader than long, the 

 sides gradually converging almost from the base, rounded anteriorly ; the hind angles moderately produced, 

 acute, not or feebly divergent, finely carinate above ; the surface finely and sparsely, at the apex more 

 coarsely, punctured, obsoletely canaliculate behind. Scutellum sparsely punctured. Elytra moderately 

 long, narrowing from a little before the middle ; finely punctate-striate, the interstices convex at the 

 sides, flat or very feebly convex on the disc, and sparsely punctate. Beneath thickly punctured. 

 Length 6|-8, breadth l|-2 millim. ( S $ •) 



Hab. Nicakagua, Chontales (E. M. Janson)-, Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 



Four specimens, one of which has been examined by Dr. Candeze and returned as 

 unknown to him. Allied to A. fuscipennis, but differing from that species in its pallid 

 head, elytra, and under surface, and also in having the hind angles of the thorax 

 distinctly carinate. The dark mark on the prothorax in one specimen is perhaps due 

 to discoloration.

This genus contains two species of large size, both peculiar to Tropical America, one 

 of them ranging as far north as Nicaragua.
