HAPLOGLOSSA. 625 



front of the head and the disc of the thorax is rufous, and the usual median vitta of 

 the latter is reduced to a spot in front and another behind. A specimen from San 

 Juan is figured. 



3. Haploglossa angustata. 



Elongate, narrow, subparallel, feebly shining ; black or brownish-black, the mandibles, the sides of the pro- 

 thorax to a greater or less extent (in one specimen leaving only a narrow black median vitta), and 

 sometimes the lateral margins of the elytra also, testaceous or flavo-testaceous ; the antennae entirely 

 black ; the legs obscure testaceous, sometimes partly infuscate ; thickly pubescent, the pubescence on the 

 upper surface fuscous, paler on the sides of the prothorax, and sometimes cinereous along the suture and 

 lateral margins of the elytra, that on the under surface cinereous. Head dull, very densely, minutely 

 punctate, the eyes prominent ; antennae in the male nearly two-thirds, in the female about half, the 

 length of the body, moderately serrate from the third joint. Prothorax transverse, angularly dilated at 

 the sides at about the basal third, rapidly and obliquely narrowing thence to the apex, and also narrowed 

 behind ; very densely, minutely punctate. Elytra elongate, subparallel in their basal half, very densely, 

 rugulosely punctate, with indications of faintly impressed longitudinal lines. Fifth ventral segment 

 feebly triangularly emarginate at the apex in the male, entire in the female. 



Length 4J-6A, breadth l|-2 millim. ( S 2 



Hah. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, Caldera (Champion). 



Two males and two females, one of the latter having the lateral margins of the 

 elytra, and the thorax in great part, testaceous. This insect is narrower than 

 H. collaris, with more feebly serrate antennae, the fifth ventral segment in the male 

 feebly emarginate, &c. The males are considerably smaller than the females. The 

 thorax, as in H. collaris, is very densely punctured. 



Since the publication of my remarks on this genus (antea, p. 623), an additional 

 species has been detected in the collections under examination : — 



4. Haploglossa ferruginea. 



Elongate, parallel, moderately shining ; fusco-ferruginous, the base of the head, the labrum, eyes, and antenna?, 

 and the abdomen in great part, black, the legs testaceous ; thickly clothed with fine decumbent pubescence, 

 the upper surface with long semi-erect hairs intermixed, the pubescence brownish on the elytra, and 

 yellowish-cinereous on the other parts of the body. Head densely, rugulosely punctured, the eyes 

 prominent; antenna? elongate, serrate, moderately stout. Prothorax transverse, feebly subangularly 

 dilated at the sides a little before the base (appearing slightly constricted behind), and rapidly narrowing 

 thence to the apex ; the surface closely, minutely punctate. Elytra much broader than, and five times 

 the length of, the prothorax, parallel to beyond the middle ; the surface densely rugulosely punctate, and 

 with indications of faintly impressed longitudinal lines. 



Length 7£, breadth 2| millim. ( $ .) 



Hob. Guatemala, San Geronimo (Champion). 



One specimen. Allied to H. collaris, but larger and differently coloured, the antennae 

 less dilated than in the female of that species, the thorax feebly subangularly dilated a 

 little before the base (at about the basal third in H. collaris), the elytra relatively longer, 

 smoother, and more shining, the legs testaceous.
