220 MALACODERMATA. 
description to remain, as it was penned before reading his, and agrees very closely in 
all points with it. His MW. diabolicus and M. bison, from Colombia, are rather larger- 
A single female specimen from Bugaba is more finely punctured, and may belong to 
one of these. 
2. Macrocis setifer. 
Breviter oblongo-ellipticus, crebre fortiter punctatus, piceus, elytris seriatim dense setiferis. Long. 14 
millim. ¢ 2. ; 
Mas. Fronte lamina duplici, basi latiore valde dentiformi erecta. 
Femina. Clypeo utrinque elevatiore reflexo. 
Hab. Guaremata, Senahu (Champion). 
A smaller and shorter species than J. taurus, and readily distinguished by the 
setiferous elytra. The thorax and elytra are a very little contracted at the base, which 
causes the outline of this species to be less evenly elliptical than that of M/. taurus. 
The tarsi are very short. The elytra are punctate-striate ; but the punctures are very 
much closer than in the first species, and are transverse, subcrenate. The margin, both 
of the thorax and elytra, is reflexed and flat. MV. bison, Reitter, loc. cit., is described as 
“longe fulvo-pilosus,” but is 2:5 millim. long, and appears to differ otherwise. 
Three specimens, one male and two females, are all that I have seen. 
CIS. 
Cis, Latreille, Préc. Car. Gén. Ins. p. 90 (1796). 
About one hundred species of Cis have been described, chiefly from the northern 
temperate zone; a few, however, occur at the Cape of Good Hope and in tropical 
latitudes. The species are not strongly differentiated, not highly specialized, and might 
be regarded as representing a primitive and persistent type. 
1. Cis corticinus. , 
C. boleto summa affinitate, sed elytris non distincte punctatis, haud substriatis, quam corpus paullo longiore, 
prothorace haud transverso mox distinguendus. Caput clypeo margine leviter reflexo ; antennis sat longis, 
clava picea, basi testaceis, articulo tertio elongato quam quartus duplo longiore. Thorax antice margine 
bisinuato, medio emarginato; lateribus leviter rotundatis marginatis, basi subtilissime marginata, 
Elytra parum nitida, creberrime subtiliter et equaliter punctata. Long. 4 millim. 
Hab. Guatema.a, Calderas, Totonicapam (Champion). 
2. Cis fasciatus. (Tab. X. fig. 23.) 
Breviter ovatus, subcylindricus, nitidus, piceus; elytris sordide flavis, fascia mediana maculaque magna 
subapicali infuscatis. Long. 2 millim. ¢ 9.
