ANEDUS. 237 
in length, joint 11 longer than 10, widening outwardly and abruptly truncate at the apex, very closely 
punctured, black, the three basal joints partly red and smoother; prothorax very strongly transverse, 
about twice as broad as long, the sides rounded anteriorly, moderately narrowed and sinuate behind, the 
lateral margins broadly extended and impressed within, the anterior angles broadly rounded, the base 
broadly and shallowly impressed just within the rectangular hind angles, the disc with a shallow central 
groove (perhaps accidental), the surface exceedingly coarsely and irregularly and not very closely punc- 
tured, the space between the punctures finely wrinkled in places, the disc piceous, the sides broadly and 
indefinably red ; scutellum smooth ; elytra broad, subparallel, widest behind the middle, broadly rounded 
at the apex, the entire surface coarsely, confusedly, and rather closely punctured (much more finely than 
the prothorax), reddish-castaneous ; legs rather short and stout; penultimate joint of the tarsi broadly 
widened ; tibiz in the male slightly curved and swollen, the anterior pair more strongly and very 
distinctly widened from a little beyond the middle to the apex and with a small triangular tooth on 
the inner side before the middle, the posterior pair finely serrate within. 
Length 7 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Guatemata, Cubilguitz (Champion). 
One example. This species will be readily known by the structure of the tibize and 
the castaneous elytra. 
9. Anzedus setulosus. (Tab. X. fig. 21.) 
Elliptic, convex, dark reddish-brown or piceous, shining, somewhat thickly clothed with long decumbent hairs 
and scattered erect longer hairs. Head very coarsely, irregularly, and rather distantly punctured, trans- 
versely impressed in front; eyes large, coarsely faceted; antenne stout, comparatively short, thickly 
clothed with hairs, joint 2 small, joint 3 about twice as long as 2, joint 4 longer and rather stouter than 
3, joints 4-10 equal in length and slightly widening outwardly, joint 11 longer than 10, ovate, bluntly 
rounded at the apex, closely punctured, black, the three basal joints smoother and red; prothorax strongly 
transverse, about twice as broad as long, rounded at the sides, narrowed and sinuous behind the middle, 
, the lateral margins extended, the anterior angles broadly rounded, the base bisinuate and shallowly 
impressed on each side just within the acute hind angles, the surface exceedingly coarsely, irregularly, 
and not very closely punctured, an ill-defined smooth longitudinal space on the disc; scutellum smooth ; 
elytra comparatively very convex, rounded at the sides, widest a little before the middle, thence narrowing 
to the apex, coarsely, closely, and irregularly punctured, the punctures more or less muricate and towards 
the sides confluent, the interspaces outwardly and at the apex irregularly wrinkled, and here and there 
raised and subtuberculate ; legs rather short and stout, similar in both sexes, ferruginous, more or less 
stained with piceous, the penultimate joint of the tarsi broadly widened. 
Length 6-7 millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, David (Champion).—CotomBia, Bogota? (coll. F. Bates). 
Var. The elytra towards the sides and apex with numerous small, smooth, scattered, longitudinal, subconical 
elevations. 
Hab. Nicaragua, Chontales (elt). 
Numerous examples of the type, three of the variety. A hairy, convex species, of 
elliptical form, with comparatively short and stout legs and antenne. The specimens 
from Nicaragua, differing as above described, probably represent a local variety of the 
same species. A. setwlosus cannot be compared with any other species of the genus 
described here. An allied form is found in Brazil, specimens of which in Mr. F. Bates’s 
collection are labelled with the manuscript name Aspisoma fuscicorne. This species 
is an Aspisoma, according to Lacordaire’s definition (Gen. Col. v. p. 397), a genus
