524 SUPPLEMENT. 
localities cited, is very much like a small black Attéalus, such as A. caraboides and 
A. calcaratus. Without having more specimens before me, I do not think it advisable 
to add anything to the short diagnosis given above. 
CYMBOLUS (to precede the genus Pristoscelis, p. 123). 
Corpus oblongum, parallelum, superne convexum. Caput in prothorace bene receptum ; oculi fortiter granulati ; 
antenne quam caput cum prothorace longiores, ab articulo quarto inde serrate, articulo ultimo ovato, haud 
incrassate ; palpi maxillares articulo ultimo valde securiformi, labiales articulo ultimo incrassato apice 
acuminato. Prothorax transversus, lateribus deflexis, disco granuloso, areolis circa sex leevigatis elevatis 
fere tumidulis. LElytra fortiter et profunde punctata, parum pubescentia. Tarsi infra villosi; ungues 
lobulis membranaceis haud connatis muniti. 
This new genus of ‘“ Dasytides” is not very near to any other known to me. It 
belongs to the first division of Melyride, in which the first joint of the tarsi is as long 
as or longer than the second; and among the genera composing this division it is 
remarkable by the hatchet-shaped joint of the maxillary palpi, by the somewhat bulky 
build, reminding one of a large Cis, and by the smooth tumid spaces on the thorax, as 
well as by the pitchy red colour and coarse punctuation. The sides of the prosternum 
are nearly parallel pieces meeting in the centre in a small mucronate projection, by 
which the cox are separated, the point not reaching so far as the cox. ‘The reflexed 
portion of the pronotum is wide and finely rugulose, the hind angles re-entering slightly 
the coxal cavities, which are, however, widely open behind; the margin very finely 
crenulate. The mesosternum has a short projection in front, and a long thin one 
behind wholly separating the middle legs. Elytral epipleure hollowed, polished, and 
with crenulate external margins. The lobes of the tarsi are hard to observe owing 
to their soft villose nature, but are membranous and as long as the claws. 
1. Cymbolus rufopiceus. (Tab. XIII. fig. 12.) 
Oblongus, convexus, nitidulus, rufo-piceus; capite prothoraceque saturatioribus, longius pilosellis, crebre 
granuloso-subrugulosis, hoc areolis nonnullis glabris elevatioribus; elytris parcius profunde punctatis ; 
antennis pedibusque rufis. Long. 7 millim. 
Hab. Guatemaa, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
The whole of this insect is of a pitchy-red colour, the head, the smooth irregular 
spaces on the thorax, the breast, and the abdomen being a little darker, the appendages 
lighter. The intermediate joints of the antenne are triangular, not longer than wide ; 
the head is about half the width of the thorax, the latter as wide as the elytra and twice 
as broad as long. The eyes are rather large. 
Found upon the flowers of small trees in second-growth woods (Champion). 
2. Cymbolus castaneus. 
Brevior, oblongus, rufo-piceus, subtus ferrugineus, nitidulus; prothoracis disco intricato-ruguloso, punctis
