SCHENICUS. 19 
punctured, a little more coarsely and more sparingly on the disc, especially at the base; elytra wider 
than the thorax at the base, the sides rather straight and very little rounded, with regular rows of coarse 
punctures distinct to the apex, the interstices each with a row of very fine punctures, the base and suture 
with some scattered fine punctures. 
Length 83-9 millim. 
_ Hab. Costa Rica (Van Patten); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, Tolé, San Feliz, Peiia 
blanca, David, Bugaba, La Caldera, San Lorenzo, Taboga Island (Champion). 
This is not very closely allied to any of the species of Schenicus here recorded. 
Larger and broader than S. oculatus; the head and thorax of a different shape; the 
eyes-smoother, less prominent, and less rounded, though a little more prominent and 
more coarsely granulated than in the other species of the genus. It appears to be 
widely distributed in the State of Panama, and occurring also in Costa Rica. 
3. Schenicus salvini. 
Schenicus salvini, F. Bates in litt. 
Oblong ovate, convex, brassy «neous. Head very closely and somewhat coarsely punctured; prothorax a 
little broader than long, widest at the base, sides rounded and narrowed from the base forwards, anterior 
angles obtuse not produced, hind angles rectangular slightly acute, anterior margin nearly straight, the 
base strongly bisinuate, very closely evenly and coarsely punctured ; elytra broader than the thorax at 
the base, the sides rounded, with indistinct rows of coarsish punctures, the interstices confusedly closely - 
and not very finely punctured, the punctures nearly as coarse as those of the strix, towards the sides and 
at the apex with fine irregular transverse wrinkles. 
Length 9-104 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Chinautla, Duefias (Salvin), Capetillo, Duefias, San Gerénimo 
(Champion); Costa Rica (coll. F. Bates). 
This species may be known by its brassy colour and the confused punctuation of 
the elytra. 
4. Schenicus viridis. 
Oblong ovate, convex, rather dull, greenish or dark bronze, somewhat variable in colour. Head closely and 
rather coarsely punctured, epistoma a little produced triangularly and deflexed in front; prothorax about 
as long as broad, convex, the sides straight at the base and narrowed and rounded in front, broadest behind, 
anterior angles obtuse, hind angles rectangular, the base strongly bisinuate, closely evenly and rather 
coarsely punctured, sometimes with a smooth indistinct central line; elytra wider than the thorax, with 
irregular rows of coarsish punctures, the interstices each with one or two rows of finer punctures, the 
base and suture more finely and not so regularly punctured, finely wrinkled transversely at the sides. 
Length 9-11 millim. 
Hab. Mexico (coll. F. Bates), Yolos, Oaxaca (Sallé), Esperanza, Oaxaca (Hége) ; 
GuaTEMALA, Tocoy (Champion). 
Pretty common in Mexico and in most collections.
