PARATENETUS., 243 
broadly rounded, the surface closely covered with short and very irregular longitudinal or sinuous 
smooth elevations, the space between the elevations irregularly and coarsely wrinkled, the sutural 
region rather smoother; legs (the femora and tibiz especially) rather slender, reddish-brown or piceous ; 
anterior tibize in the male armed with a sharp tooth on the lower side about the middle, the hinder 
pairs simple. 
Length 43-53 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Numerous examples. P. tuberculatus will be readily identified by its convex form, 
large eyes, tuberculate elytra, and rather slender legs; the anterior tibiz in the male 
armed with a sharp tooth. 
11. Paratenetus denticulatus. (Tab. X. fig. 26, 2.) 
Moderately convex, reddish-testaceous, pubescent. Head short, extending very narrowly at the base on each 
side behind the eyes (the eyes at first sight appearing angular behind), shallowly impressed transversely 
in front, very closely and rather finely punctured; antenne short, the joints of the club small (the two 
lower joints transverse), testaceous, the club scarcely darker; prothorax transverse, widest a little before 
the base, widely denticulate at the sides, the denticles closer and shorter behind the middle, the front 
denticle (forming the anterior angle) the largest and directed backwards, the surface closely and rather 
finely punctured ; elytra widening a little from the base to beyond the middle, finely and not very closely 
punctured ; legs short. 
Length 23 millim. (9.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
This small species is possibly allied to P. tropicalis, Motsch., but with the sides of 
the thorax strongly denticulated, and the club of the antenne differently formed. ‘The 
single example before me is abraded and in a bad state of preservation. P. denticulatus 
closely resembles a species of Corticaria. 
12. Paratenetus tropicalis. 
Paratenetus tropicalis, Motsch. Bull. Mose. xli. pt. 2, p. 193 ‘ 
Hab. Panama, Obispo }. 
This species is compared by Motschoulsky to P. grandicornis, and is described as 
having “the club of the antenne testaceous and smaller, the upper surface covered 
with punctures and sparsely clothed with long hairs ; the length @ lin.” *. 
Group CNODALONIDES. 
Most of the Tropical South-American genera, Campsia and a few others excepted, 
have at least one representative in our country. The majority of the species are of large 
size and mostly of brilliant, more or less metallic colours; a large number of those 
contained in collections still remain undescribed. The “ Cnodalonides ” are confined 
to the tropical regions of the Old and New World, and to Australia and New Zealand ; 
America north of Mexico has no representative. Several new genera have been required 
# Too late for insertion here I have discovered in the collection several additional small species of Para- 
tenetus ; they will be included in the Supplement.
